2011 Infiniti M

[exitspeed]

I can't believe no one posted this yet.

Nissan debuted the new Infiniti M. Can we say "Sexual Chocolate" kids?

It comes in two flavors, the M37 and the 400hp V8 M56! :w00t:

[CrazyIvan]

looks too much like a bmw

[Dutchmalmiss]

I like it. The grille might be a tad too big for me, though. Other than that it has features from the G and FX (first gen) that I like.

[FRpilot]

looks like a bmw front with a cheap looking rear. but the new bmw 3 series sedans have ugly rears too.

[SimpleS14]

Eh, I was thinking about posting it when I first saw it...but then I got lazy lol

Here are more pics:

I personally like it, and can't wait to see it in person. I currently have an '06 M35x and it's quite a nice car. I'm staring to see more of them on the streets.

[Xbroke_kidX]

do want, on bags, tuckin 19's

This view REALLY makes it looks like the new Maxima...but everything cleaned up and "right".

[99maxgtr]

too many curves for me. i like my women curvy but car's are a different story.
plus it looks more like the G and less like the current M which looks better IMO.

[ronmcdon]

It's nice looking overall,
but its a bit too similar looking to the G37 in the front.

hope awd and a manual are options for the base model.
V8's nice for a luxo-ride.

[ixfxi]

car looks really good. the 1st gen M sucked balls, the 2nd gen is nice.. I am currently building a nice light kit for it. this 3rd gen really looks good, like a very nicely upgraded G-Sedan.

anyone who thinks this looks like a BMW (or cheap BMW) needs to remember that it IS a cheap fucking wanna be european car. lets not forget the days that japanese cars were scoffed at and considered economical garbage cars.

[Dutchmalmiss]

^^ +1

I was gonna say, it should be a good thing that it looks like a BMW

[silviaguy240]

its seriously looks like if a fx35 was a sedan.

[ronmcdon]

I can't see the resemblance to BMW (other than the center console in the interior).
To Lexus, maybe there's some resemblance to the ES's curves.
Personally I think if the design fits well into Inifiniti/Nissan's design approach.
If I had to complain (and a minor one at that), I'd say it's a bit too conservative.

[exitspeed]

I actually don't think it looks like a BMW at all. This thing is sooo much more curvy compared to the straight lines of the pre-Bangle era and the curves are too smooth to resemble the Bangled Beemers.

[Future240]

I don't think it looks at a BMW at all. This is sexy as fuck.

[BustedS13]

i don't think it looks like a bmw. i think it looks like a hyundai.

[kensreliableb18b]

looks very similar to the G (and why wouldn't it? they're both infiniti). big improvement over the current M--too dated looking at this point. interior looks real nice as well.

[Dutchmalmiss]

Definitely need to see one of these tucked on 19s

[0100]

Not even close to looking like a BMW any year or model.

It's just not flowing for me, not sure why to be honest. It may look better in person though.

[DreamN]

I'm liking this a lot. Great lines on this car. Mel is right about that frontal shot. Looks like a cleaned up Maxima. Very nice.

I'm liking the sexual chocolate on sexual chocolate too.

well said...


i cant understand how people would complain that it looks like a: g/fx/etc.... its a fucking infiniti.. what is it supposed to look like, an old s13? its like people comparing my products, theyre SUPPOSED to look similar, theyre made by the same fucking person/designer/etc


i'm surprised some of you fuckers dont complain to your parents and blame them for having the same genes and looking similar.

[exitspeed]

I'm liking the chocolate on chocolate too.

That's Sexual Chocolate on Sexual Chocolate.

[DreamN]

That's Sexual Chocolate on Sexual Chocolate.

fixed it :D

[Z33dori]

need to see it bagged on Eurolines.... Black

but it looks good

[Future240]

I want to see it in a few other colors, I detest the color brown.

[K_style]

so it is like... luxury version of Maxima . . .

[exitspeed]

so it is like... luxury version of Maxima . . .

But sexier, RWD, and a 400hp.

So kinda, but not really.

[cxlo8331]

eh, maybe need to see one in person.

[axiomatik]

Finally Inifiniti is going to give us an attractive M? Last two have been plain and/or weird looking to me. Would have liked to see the design cues from the Essence translated more directly.

[SimpleS14]

There are apparently two M56s stateside close to Nissan's proving grounds in AZ for testing. What does that mean? SPY PHOTOS!!!

Here is the first one...
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2009/09/Infiniti-M56-TOP.jpg

[Dutchmalmiss]

They need to lower the offset on the wheel in the back, because it looks like shit back there. I like it overall tho.

[YoungGun]

I am down.

[Matej]

Looks like every 2006-2010 sedan.

[sw20>>s14]

i have always been a fan of the M line up and have to say its not really doing it for me...looks like its melting or a G37 sedan that got sandwiched in an accident...im sure its one helluva car none the less though...infiniti is churning tits lately...

[ALTRNTV]

This is the sedan I am planning on buying when I graduate next year. Teh sex.

.

This is the only angle I'm not digging it from. Mostly because the car behind the rear wheel well area looks way too chunky and fat.

The rest I'm feeling and I bet this car looks even better in person.

You are the only person I know that thinks the G is ugly.

I personally think it's one of the best looking cars on the road.

[lucky7]

count me in, mel. i think the G looks like garbage too.

i like this new M a lot. i think it may be the only nissan i like these days. lol.

[Future240]

You are the only person I know that thinks the G is ugly.

I personally think it's one of the best looking cars on the road.

I think the G sedan is okay looking at best. The 35 sedan was fugly. I don't particularrly care for the current G series. The 37 coupe is forgetful at best. It just doesn't have the allure of the 35 coupe

[SimpleS14]

wow...now there are TWO people I've read that don't like the G sedan.

It doesn't take much to make the car look really nice IMO...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/kalvinmaui/Jline/IMG_1067.jpg

I wouldn't mind scooping one up in four years when they are real cheap.


Anyways...I don't mean to go off-topic :keke:

[lucky7]

i'd rather pick up an E60 when the prices drop a bit. thats just me though.

[irax]

I love how this car now doesn't look like a G sedan. I thought the second gen M looked way too much like a G sedan.

this kinda looks like the porsche 4door profile wise.

I loved the first gen M sedans... I'll probably pick one up when I can.

[sw20>>s14]

I loved the first gen M sedans... I'll probably pick one up when I can.

my personal favorite! if everything goes right ill get one first thing next year...theyre so cheap now!

thanks for all the pics simples14, im really starting not to like this gen now...bulbous and long front end dont really mesh up with the GS-esque quarter/rear end...those front fenders rub me the wrong way too...but maybe itll grow...

[lucky7]

damn, you can get E60 5 series cars for UNDER $20K. thats sick, i want one. you can get an '04 545i 6 speed for like 18k. thats a sick deal.

[irax]

i really don't like that front grill... it doesn't really make a Japanese Executive statement its too much bugatti or volvo imo

[beeracing s14]

i dont see any good image of vip on that car. i think it looks better letting go the way it is.

[zenki.life]

looks like a cross between the FX and G35.


...i dont like it, lol

[Manuelitoohno]

you know its cool


cos i love to pay so much money on a nissan instead of having a bmw

and cos i love 300 dollar oil changes and such

lol, you kno in the same price range that euro of yours is gonna be shitty?

so a shitty built euro or a nice built nissan? choice is up to you.

$300? ever heard of doing it yourself?

speak from experience, not from surfing the net and daydreaming.

[SimpleS14]

Oil changes do not cost that much and I'm willing to bet its not that hard to do it yourself.

why don't you quote my entire post instead of snipping out just this one sentence? i said for the same price, you're getting a lower end euro. get out of the euro is the best mentality (just cuz it's a euro). you're like comparing a e350 to a e63amg, because in your minds, it's all the same huh?

[lucky7]

you're still not making any sense. i'd MUCH rather have an E350 than anything nissan. a base E class is still a very nice car. not to mention it looks far better than this inifniti could ever hope to look.

[exitspeed]

In your opinion. I actually feel the exact opposite. I'd never buy a MB, Audi, or BMW over a Nissan. :p

And MB has gone all Acura (as in ugly as shit) with their new cars. The C Class is nice, but they done fucked up the E Class hardcore.

[lucky7]

thats cool, i suppose. E class is always awesome though. :D now someone buy my S14, so i can get something different.

how am i not making sense? have you ever even sat and driven in a new e350? build quality and materials are poor. at a base E you're paying more for less compared to an M. but if you're talking about e63 amg it's a different story--though the price is much more different as well.

[exitspeed]

how am i not making sense? have you ever even sat and driven in a new e350? build quality and materials are poor. .

That is a direct consequence of their partnership with Chrysler. Their build quality went down the tubes over the last 10 years. And they knew it was hurting them a lot. That was one of the main reasons they wanted out of the partnership. Unfortunately those types of problems don't go away very easily as it becomes part of the MB culture.

My biggest gripe with Luxury Euro cars is they are way way behind in interior design. A lot of the shit looks like it's still from the early 90's. the new 3 Series is the best example. Look at this dated pile of shit. The dash doesn't even look like it was meant to be in the car. Like the dash, and door panels were designed by two different people on opposite sides of the country. No doubt the car is rad, but that interior is inexcusable to me.

[lucky7]

in not following, that interior looks great to me. i just wish they didnt ever change from the oldschool "cockpit" feeling.

and for the record, according to both MBusa.com and infiniti.com, the difference between current models of the M35 and E class. the E starts at 2,200 more than what the M starts at. i still think the E takes the cake in the looks department. i have not sat in, or driven a current E though, so i cannot comment. my mom has an 02 C320, and the meterials are there, but the fit and finish is seriously lacking. like mel mentioned, it is directly as a result of owning chrysler. they've said on numerous occasions that they're trying to get back to their bulletproof roots. its too soon to tell how the new E is going to hold up, as it was JUST put on the market. with all that being said, i'd still prefer an E or a 5 over the M. but i would probably pick the M over an A6. audi has never really done it for me. the styling has always been toyota bland to me.

My friend's wife has a CLS and had it since it was new. This thing, while I understand is entry level, is a serious embarrassment to Euro cars. Kia's from 15 years ago were put together better then this thing. But again, maybe in another 10 years they will be back to where they were 15 years ago.

Obviously styling is subjective.

I just think that 3 Series interior looks ancient.
The CTS interior looks light years better to me. But this is why there are so many cars out there. :)
http://gearpatrol.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/2009-cadillac-cts-v-nurburgring-germany-interior.jpg

[lucky7]

the CTS' interior does indeed look futuristic, but being that they were so terrible for so long, i'd have to see one used and abused. im picturing all that stuff being really "cheap" and "plasticky." offtopic, i think its utterly hilarious how domestic automakers/workers cant figure out why there is such a large number of people that have it in their head, that the big 3 cars are cheap and poorly made. i mean, come on. have they not sat in a cavalier or late 90's cadillac? :keke:

back on topic, the reality is that people like what they like. most japanese cars are too "flowing" and rounded for my taste. hell, most new cars are. my taste tends to favor hard edges and and points (things of that nature) in car styling. there are always exceptions, but that is what draws me to older european cars.

[ronmcdon]

Yeah, I'd have to agree existing Acuras are pretty hideous.
Looks like even outdated compared to the cheaper Accord.
IMO, as much as I like the company Honda & luxury have never gone together quite well.

Cuurent MBZ C-class does look nice,
esp with the C63 (one of the more tasteful AMG treatments imo, even though I don't care for AMG aesthetics in general).

[lucky7]

the new C looks A-MAZING! its one of the best designs on the market, easily.

this is what i was referring to when i said cockpit. this is obviously a modded interior, but note the controls in the center. they're angled towards the driver. my E30 is even like that.

they got rid of the hard edges (for the most part), and the "cockpit" like dash. a shame if you ask me.

[OptionZero]

honda/acura fell off so badly it's ridiculous

that 2005ish era TSX/TL/RL lineup was pretty solid

now Honda/acura has no good looking cars at all

only the Si is average

Yeah that does good, bar the over-kill in carbon fibre.
Very minimalist & spartan, if not 80's retro.

This thread went off-topic lol

To say on track I like the interior of the new M.

Oh, lol, I just saw an ad for the new Acura ZDX. Holy hell, it's got the worst front end I've ever seen.

Seriously Acura is on fuck up auto-pilot. Every new vehicle they have is getting worse and worse. Add this to the fact that the new guy said that they are canceling plans for a V8 RWD flagship to ACTUALLY compete with the M, 5 Series, GS, E Class, etc etc.

Until they get away from this horrible styling, and get their head out of their ass, they will continue to be a second rate Luxury auto brand.

With a grill change the TSX doesn't look too bad...

It looks boring

although Acura is fubar, it is still very reliable and so somewhat attractive.

I think most MB are ugly these days. They are also crap cars. There is a reason that every MB older than '95 is automatically a test only smog.

BMW doesn't make the most reliable vehicles, but they offer great lease programs and 4 years of free maintenance. as long as you lease, the only thing you will have to pay for are tires.

Infinti, in my opinion offers a good balance of price, reliability, stlye, fun to drive.
