The new infinity M is out, 330 hp, could this be a sign of a coupe to come.... possibly the next skyline?

Put your thoughts in....

Re: M

I think it shows Infiniti is becoming a high ranking division inside of Nissan.

Re: M

The new M45 has already won comparison tests in both Motor Trend and Car and Driver.

An M45 Coupe would be much too big to be the GT-R. The sedan already weighs a bit over two tons, and that's without an awd system.

However, that's not to say there won't be an M45 Coupe. There is supposed to be a new sports car coming that will slot between the 350Z and GT-R. I'd be willing to bet it's an M45 Coupe.

That might seem like too many Coupes for Infiniti, with the G35 Coupe still in the lineup, but look at it this way:

People have been worried about the US GT-R being loaded down with luxury items. If an M45 Coupe is released, it can cover that territory and go after the likes of BMW's 6-series and MB's high-end CLKs and low-end SL/CL models.

With the sports luxury coupe area taken care of, the GT-R can afford to be more of a hardcore sports car, maybe along the lines of the next BMW M3 CSL.

Re: M

It is a luxury sedan! Luxury sedans DO tend to be a bit BORING! My gosh what is up with you guys. Anything that even hints at a Skyline and you wet yourselves. It is a really nice car.....but one my father in law would drive long before I would be interested in it.

It AINT a GTR.....
