Default Sick Nissan Fuga aka M45

Here's a pic of one yesterday as I was waiting at the light to cross into Manhattan from the Bronx. Man, these M45's are popping up around here just as much as the new GS, and this is the first M I've seen with rims. They actually make the M much more attractive on the road

God, those LED tails are indeed the standard in most of the Infiniti models. C'mon Lexus, let's get with the program!

Is it just me or the camber on the rear wheel is off. It looks like the wheel is not on properly. I've seen a couple in person as well but IMO, it looks like any NIssan I find it quite surprising people get all gushy about the styling of this car.

I really don't see anything "Sick" about those pics. It still looks too much like a larger G35...an an Altima. What looks sick as in barf is the disproportionate size in the rear...which makes the rear wheels look smaller than they should.

I've seen a lot on the road as well. It really is a great looking car, however I've said this before and it was said here as well, the M looks to much like its lesser cars(both Infiniti and Nissan). I like it, but there are other cars that I would rather drive than the M.

In this previous thread, we brought up some similarities with the new M and some of its lesser models. Here are a few examples.

Not trying to stir the pot or anything, we all know how sensitive many have become when topics like these arise.

Not bad. Too bad there arent any pics form the side so when can see the wheels. Are they 18s, 19s?

Yes, we have discussed this. Also here, comparing the Nissan Fuga (M35/45) to Nissan Teana.
