I really like the interior. It looks wonderful. Especially when fully pimped out in white ...

Unfotunately that white/black combo is for concept only. They have already changed it to Grey/Black combo that doesn't look that exciting.

Talk about a way to ruin a nice concept. Those interiors have all the excitement of a retirement home. 
I guess the predictions were right, I recall one automotive journalist saying that, when the M45 concept debuted, "[i]t proves Infiniti still doesn't know how to design a luxury car."
Inside and out, it reminds me faaaaaaaarrrrr too much of the Alt/Max, the G35 looks much better and more unique by comparison.

The interior in general looks great. Much better than any of the current Infiniti models IMO.
But what happened to the sunroof/skylight roof? That's one of the key elements that got me to say "wow!" when I first saw the Fuga concept.

Personally, I don't care for any of the new designs, be it Lexus or BMW or Infiniti.

Actually, I think it looks better than the E class inside & out. But of course it couldn't compare in prestige.

That interior looks like the best Nissan has EVER made. Looks lovely with aluminum or wood.
Exterior is okay, the front end looks like it belongs on a SUV. Nothing refined or luxurious about it. As the rear.
The sides are fine, Audi ish window treatment.
It is a nice looking car but funny how sublte things do make it less better looking that the Fuga.
This pic right here could be an ALtima/Maxma/G35/Daewoo/VW anything
Overall, very nice car but nothing to make me run out and leave Lexus. And I am not even that huge on the 2006 gen GS.

I am anxious to see non-studio shots.
At least it's RWD and Made in Japan and will perform and be priced nicely, so I can't crap on it too much. I think the right colors will make all the difference, I'm thinking black or white.
