Looks more like a coupe in this lame pen-stroke.

I love how Infiniti continues to use these penstroke teasers.

knowing infiniti I know the car will be a sedan that will be a handsome car that handles very well. Lexus could learn a thing or two from the performance end of Infiniti. i think it would be great if Lexus would start creating performance packages from the factory like the G35 S. We want the same Lexus style and quality but with a little extra factory made attitude and handling prowess. The F sport line is a great start but its not enough

If the M looks anything like that I'm going to have to relabel my piggy bank with an Infiniti emblem, and peel of the current circle L.

Most likely. That was the whole point of creating the Essence in the first place. I expect to see many cues form the Essence in Infiniti's future designs. At least until they come up with something else.

If the car does not have a spacious back seat it may not sell well. Infiniti already took a risk with the EX.

The current M35/45 has maybe the biggest rear seat in class but that could change with the new model.

All new as in totally redesigned? Not mid-cycle refresh? Nice, would be interesting to see if they have up'd the ante and move it into true LS range.

It is a bit quick for a redesign, but ultimately necessary.

The current M has been available since 2006. However, it will arrive the same time as the 5-Series and GS. So, to make a statement, it should play with the big boys.
