I just saw this in San Francisco today. Is it the new G for 2011?

Looks like the "M" from the rear...possibly hybrid they have been working on.

The only thing they masked off was the logos/badges. Everything else seems to be exposed.

I agree it is most likely an M model. It seems to match other new M images.

It's an Infiniti M with a V16 engine. Basically, a Bugatti killer.

But it won't beat a GT-R. Fo' sho!

It's not as wide as an M. Could it be the G25?

the new M on a whole doesnt look wide at all...it looks like it grew taller but stayed the same width. I just saw one on my way home and it just seemed odd!

That is most definitely an M. The grille is huge. G's grilles are more slender

I should have takened a picture of the interior. There was a lot of gadgets and wiring in there. I didn't want the two ladies to think I was a spy or something.

It is probably the hybrid M and they covered the badges because Infiniti is probably going to Lexus with special blue or green hued badges.

I think the logos were stolen, awaiting replacements maybe.
