I agree -- the M doesn't carry its beauty on the outside. The concept was much more appealing.

When it comes to drive appeal, however, only time will tell.

I will be seeing the new GS and new M for the first time next Monday. I cannot wait and have been amused and somewhat perplexed by some of the conflicting posts on CL and Nissan's Fresh Alloy.

There are Infiniti people loving the GS and hating the M, and there are Lexus fanatics loving the M and hating the GS. While these cars would never be confused with one another stylistically, I don't see how either car warrants major negative rants related to its exterior styling. I know it is all a matter of personal opinion, but I just don't see how either car could be considered ugly or strangely styled. Then again, I have not seen either in person, so I am VERY anxious to do that next week.

My decision is literally in a dead-heat between the GS and M and in a way I hope I really dislike the styling of one of the 2006's. It would make my decision a lot easier. There are so many other non-exterior styling points I have stored in my head that I need to get them down on paper to make a good decision. Of course, all bets are off if I fall in love with one body over another.

In sum, those of you seeing both these cars in person, keep the opinions coming...You have all informed me, amused me, and confused me in your widely varying opinions. It will be you people I look to in the spring and summer, wondering how the ownership experience of these two cars is treating you.....in EVERY way! Then, when the dust has settled in late summer, I should be driving my new GS....or wait M....oh no GS...I am so confused.
