According to the reviews, the M was also rougher riding on the 20" wheels that are required to make it look halfway decent, so hopefully they've sorted out the suspension as well.

I love this car and now that you can get it in LWB, this is made even better.

And yeah, that VK56VD engine is the best naturally-aspirated engine that Nissan has ever made to date. V8 POWER!!!

God I love this car

Die hard Lexus owner. The family drives Lexus ranging from 2002 to 2011, but as a previous owner of an M45, there is something magically about the Ms, now Qs!

Agreed with comments about the back seat in the GS. It is non existent. They are a blast to drive and have more technology than the Infiniti.

Pulling up to a light I saw the M sitting next to the GS and I must state the M had a better stance, stood out more and was the head turner. The GS (F Sport) looked like a generic sedan.

Going to drive both the V6 and V8 this weekend.

It's a good looking car, but interior, details and drive are way behind the GS.

Whole class is behind GS in terms of interior layout. They took what bimmer was doing for over a decade and just did it better at their first try. Q70 is a nice car no doubt, interior is quite different and it works on the most expensive trim no doubt.

Other cars have nice interiors too, they're just different. The Q70 has really old B&W displays such as between the gauges, nav screen is very low res...it feels much more dated inside than really anything else in the segment. The E Class feels flat and dated, but the displays and all are fresh at least.
