New Infiniti M45 Design

[TheScientist]

This is the New Infiniti M45 design. This pic I took on my trip to the New York International auto show this past weekend. Unfortunately i was uunable to get any mechanical information, and this picture was resized from the original since it was too big. Please forgive me of only getting most of the front, because the place was very crowded.

Well I think it looks really nice and I would buy one in a second if I could afford one. I saw pics of the interior of the car and it looks sweet inside also. If anyone can post up a list of the other cars that it directly compets with I'd appreciate it, thanks.

they hope for it to be able to challenge the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5-Series, Audi A6 and Jag S-Type.

It's certainly an improvement over the current design, but the taillights look like shit with the turn signal placed where it is. The red portion looks very similar to the tails on the G35 Coupe.

I think the rear lights are wayyyyy oversized. I do actually like the older style better.

The signals are prettier when not lit - they are white.
At the very least they are very visible lit!

Infiniti definitely messed up on the taillights. Whether the turn signal is lit or not, it still looks out of place. Aside from that little quibble, the design of the rest of the car is a definite improvement over the outgoing model.

I am going to miss the old style alot . I especially liked the frameless doors on the car.
