Great interior (though I liked the original Brazilian Rosewood better, awesome technology, blah exterior). Not convinced yet that this is my next keeper....

More interior shots!  The gauge assembly reminded me of the LX570...top quality stuff. 

Actually, I was kind of expecting it to look worse than that.  The color is HORRIBLE, makes it look like a blend of a Camry with a Corolla on steroids.  This color belongs to a Toyota.

I don't see why some say it looks like a Maxima, it doesn't one bit.  The front is a lot like the G.


The best angle for me:   Cheesy

Agreed on all points (whoa!?!)

No more pix. It was there for only 3 hours and I only had a 15 minute window of opportunity.

Color is crap, and the chips they showed me were not impressive. There was one color that didn't have a chip and they said I'd like that one. Sure.

They offered but I was too pressed for time. My bad.

I did note that the exhaust is really weak sounding. They claimed it was luxurious. I said it was lame.

Gotta say.  I think it does look like a Maxima.  Of course, I also think the Maxima is a good looking car so that's not such a bad thing.  Eh.  Not bad.  Not great either.  I'll have to see one in person before I make a judgement call.

To me it does look a bit squid-like. But then squids are aerodynamic (or is it hydrodynamic?). Give it a few years to get the bugs out and a nice used machine and I'll be game. $hit, I hope I live that long..!!!   Grin

i have a picture of my G that looks just like this...

http://www.carfaq.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=18462&g2_serialNumber=4&g2_GALLERYSID=e54980d5786828bb7b03b1e9a2ba8e87

the front however isn't really all that G-like to me... I think its the bulging grille that makes me say that.

Uh ... maybe it's the pictures, but what's wrong with the color???

Is that possibly Storm Front Grey? Otherwise, it looks like the old Platinum Graphite on my monitor.   Huh?

I'm still lovin' it, but I haven't seen it in the flesh yet.

The color looks fine, still looks to much like a Maxima.  A little G also..  I like it.  A lot of Infiniti's and Nissan
vehicle's are looking to much alike lately.   Cool

The rear is a lot less substantial.  The previous M looked huge from the rear with its huge taillights but between the tiny new tails and the cls shape, it makes the thing look a lot smaller than it is.  Which, in the case of a "flagship" I don't see as a good thing.

Just goes to show. Even though I was a M owner, I never liked the massive, giant, oversized tail lights on the old M. These new ones - in my own opinion - are gorgeous, and they're far more in balance with the size and shape of the car.

And I'm hoping the car doesn't look so fat-assed from the rear like the old one did.

I have to agree with Mike, those taillights on the current M are huge.  But they still look good.
I like the new LED's on the new one though.   Cheesy

The rear and the rear quarter are the best exterior features of this car. I don't like to overall sweep nor the front. Yet.
