Cool Infiniti M45 VS GS430!

I will be in the market soon for a gs430 01 or 02 black on black. This will be my third Lexus in 7 years and I have no complaints with Lexus.

However my 2000 Nissan Maxima SE has been an incredible value and I am curious about the new M45 from Infiniti that will debut this Friday. Can this car offer more performance than the GS at a lower price? It may be worth a look just to see what the Next GS will be up against.

Anyone know about this M45?

There have been several posting and people think this is what it is going to look like. Will know for sure this Friday (your Thursday in the mainland).

I think the previous generation Cedric/Gloria looks better than the new ones......

OH HELL YEAH! They're FINALLY bringing the Gloria over to the states! WOO HOO!! I have been waiting for this car FOR EVER! Damn, maybe someone at Nissan actually heard me?

Fear not, while that photo of the "MC~" is pretty ugly, I'm sure you can retrofit the ~MC front end...

Check out the Junction Produce kit...

http://www.junction-produce.co.jp/ht.../CED_aero.htm#

The Wise Sports kit is also nice...there are a lot of nice kits out there for this car...

But I'm with you guys on the pictures above, it is pretty ugly...

yah I love the gloria, I love the older one dude every time I see the front end of that car it reminds me of a bently, and the interior is surprisingly top notch, the fit and finish is comparable to that of a lexus

This got to be the uglist car I have ever seen. The front looks like American design car.. the back look like stolen design from Toyota Avalon with minor modification to the inner light..

What do you guys think?

Default WOW!

That car will definitly steal some sales-from Ford that is. If there ever were a Japaneese Crown Victoria this is it. What are they thinking?

Luckly the G35 and the new Z are hip otherwise Infiniti was cooked!

Someone must have Photoshop'd a Impala front end onto that. Even Nissan couldnt produce such a ugly car. Or could they?
