Looks far better than the current M45, which looked dated before it even got out the door.
But I prefer cars that don't look like upsized/downsized versions of other cars in the line (something Nissan, BMW, and Mercedes are very guilty of).
For example, the Altima and Maxima look pretty similar, just as the G35 looks like the M45 (this one).

This new "M35/45" is supposed to fit in the slot between the G35 and the Q45. I was reading in the freshalloy.com forums and what they're saying is that the M35 is essentially the G35's big brother. Now that I look at it, the styling is sorta similar. Especially the rear end. If the front head lights were slanted more vertically, then we'd be closer to G35 design. Anyhow, I like it compared to the Lexus LFS. At least, based on exterior design only.
Toyota/Lexus should start taking some hints from Infiniti in terms of not being so conservative. Their fit, finish, and quality are above Infiniti's, but they really need to inject more "passion" into their "passionate persuit of perfection".

Wonder how close to the actual production car will that interior be.

Personally, I think Inifiniti will have a hit on their hands with this car. Infiniti/Nissan is starting to design out of the box and it looks good IMO. Now if Lexus/Toyota would start making stuff that is so conservative....
If the new GS isn't what it's cracked up to be, then I think the Fuga is going to be my next car. I'm sure Junction-Produce, Wald, and AutoCouture will relelase nice kits for the car (I think those three companies make the best looking kits for the higher end JDM Nissans...) Looks like 20's will be perfect. Hopefully, it will be able to take wider wheels than the GS or at the very least, have a more friendly front brake setup (behind the mounting pad) for big brake & big lip friendliness...

New FUGA Pics :
In real life, doesn't look as good as the CG images posted earlier IMO, but still an impressive looking car.

I really like the Fuga's interior but the exterior is not all that great. It looks too much like a combination of the G35sedan and new Maxima put together, plus those tailights are ugly. But with some nice rims and a bodykit, it will def look great.
Compared to the LF-S concept, the Fuga's exterior design looks very boring IMO.
