I think the M45 looks great and is a serious contender to replace my current GS in a few years. Infinity should have most of the kinks worked out by then.
The only thing holding me back is the GS Hybrid. I am not looking forward as much to the new GS but the Hybrid technology is very appealing.

I agree on the Acura RL comment. Disappontment indeed. The interior is the nicest of the 3 i think, however. I don't think the new M45 looks like the Maxima. It IS made by Nissan, so there are some similarities. But i think the new GS looks more like the Maxima than the new M45 does.
hmm, let's look....

FYI... Infiniti has put up a page where you can build your own new 2006 Infiniti M45.. Wood is an option for the interior, which I know was a concern for some people.. They are also accepting feedback comments on what you might like to see added as an option.. Very cool idea i think... here is the link if anyone is interested...

V-8 starts at $44,500, the V-8 sport $47,200. I got it to 53k loaded. GREEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAT buy, IMO.
V-6 starts at $39,200, the V-6 sport $41,900 and the AWD V-6 $41,200.
Aluminum is only available on the sport models. Wood is an option on ALL models.
The V-6 AWD says 270hp+ so the RL has the HP advantage. But the RL better not be more than $43,000 stock.
I wish Lexus would have more info on the GS, I guess they want to see what the competitors are gonna do before making their final move.
And egads, white with black leather with aluminum is available.

All I can say is WOW...Infiniti definitely isn't holding off anything this time.
The M45 with luxury/options approaching (and in many ways exceeding) a loaded LS430, pricing similar to the GS, performance exceeding both, and the reliablity just as good, will give Lexus some very, very serious competition. Kudos to Infiniti for raising the bar.
I can't get over the rear either, though. The blacked out version made by EvgeshaIS300 does seem to fix it quite a bit. The profile otherwise looks very handsome.
The Infiniti's brand image is climbing up faster and higher than ever.

If the world could have looked into the present day 15 years ago to see what the japanese luxury car market has gloriously evolved into, they would ***** their pants.
I cant believe how awesome these cars look, the incredible refinement and smoothness, and SOOOO MUCH HORSEPOWER!!!
If the M45 got smaller and lost a few hundred pounds (which I think it did) coupled with a yet even stronger V8, that thing will be a virtual rocketship. The current M45 is evaluated as being "a rocket."
In my case, a V8 is critically nessesary, nothing less, so it would have to be an M45. My plans to upgrade to a 98 SC400 in a few years still holds steady.
