It's interesting putting a GS next to an M45 - it makes that car look so dated - almost crude!

Wow..........The GS looks like a 4x4 compared to the M45.

Nice car, it just needs a drop and nicer wheels.

Any reason u picked the 3GS over the new M?

Well I live in Somerset and got it at Difeo(bridgewater). I didn't like the new style of the M45 but test drove the M35 and the performance of the GS was better. going 50 mph in the M35 and punch it and nothing....going 50 mph in the GS and punch it and wow! much better pick up. None of the Infiniti dealers wanted to bargan the price...too popular(m45). Anyway I took it for its first long ride with my wife and two kids and the ride was a pleasure. I felt so relaxed during the ride at 75-80 mph on major highway(rt 295) it was like sitting in my living room.

OMG, you have it, I've never been able to locate a glacier frost or star fire pearl on black GS! Please post more pics, this color combo is the best hands down, game over. High res pics if possible will be much appreciated (for desktop background). Enjoy the ride and protect that badass paint!

Yo, can you post some pics of the interior, particularly the black interior from the outside so you can see the white exterior contrasted with the black interior? That is the best look, I think more people would buy this combo once they see how much the two colors look against eachother.

The old M45s were a flop, Im not surprised you didnt recognize it, Ive hardly seen any on the roads because they were such a slow seller. They took slow selling to a new low. The new M45/35 turned this around quickly, they are pretty good sellers.
