Default 2010 Infiniti M (Spy Video)

When one of our readers sent us this spy video link last week, the first thought that passed our mind was the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, we decided to cross-check it with some of our inside sources and guess what; this isn’t the 2009 Maxima but the 2010 Infiniti M! The prototype was caught testing in Arizona, and from what our sources told us, Infiniti’s BMW 5-Series adversary will make its debut in late 2009 or early 2010. As with the recently facelifted model (see here), the new “M” will be offered with V6 and V8 engine units while customers will also be able to choose between rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive versions.
Its not the best quality, you can barely see the details. However, the headlights are massive!

The video is here:

Um, that's the 2009 Maxima, not the M. That vid was leaked months ago.

That looks to be the new Maxima no doubt in my mind. Everything about it says it is.

Yup, everything from the grille to the headlamps to the FWD proportions to the taillamps say that this is 100% Maxima

I agree that it's probably the new Maxima, but it could also be the new M as well, particularly if the two are going to share bodies and platforms.

This whole buisness, in the auto industry, of using bras and body/tape covers is just a bunch of bull s***.......the auto companies need to just take them off and not worry about disguises. It's like second-grade schoolkids playing hide-and-go seek.....complete nonsense, by adult standards

I'm 200% certain that's the Maxima. This video was floating around prior to the Maxima's unveiling last year. The source noted above is way off the mark on this.
