Yea, the Cedric/ Gloria has been around a while, but this current bodystyle (the one it shares with the M45) has been only around since 2000 IIRC. The current M45 is rumored to be due for a redesign soon since it's styling wasn't received well in the US.

We had both as rentals when my carrier pulled into Japan in '96...it was slightly more boxy IIRC...and they were all blue. I liked them a lot...and I like the current M45 a lot. Great looking car.

Wow, that's probably the sharpest Nissan I have ever seen. Looks great!
Well, the I35 is done after the 2004 year. The '04 I35 still uses the A33 chasis and did not follow the path of the Altima/Maxima. The vehicle shown here will be the next Cedric/Gloria/M45...and a great looking one as well.

Hey how did u get info on the A33 chasis ,cause the I 35 and the maxima rides smooth similarly and except the I35 is much softer. and the obvious body canges in the bumper and the moldings. That's the only difference that i see.

If this is the new Maxima...count me in. Looks like a great evolution on the current model.

It's the 2005 Infiniti M45
The Fuga show car on the Nissan stand at the Tokyo Motor Show will be the new Infiniti M45, sources confirm
The elegantly designed Nissan Fuga is a hint of the next-generation Infiniti M45 luxury sedan, scheduled to debut in the United States next year. It uses what Nissan calls its FM package and FR-L platform found in its rear-wheel-drive cars.

Looks sweet, but all I can say is that we still have 4 more years to see what the '08 Max will really look like. Who knows, that design could change at any time, and not to pick any bones here, but I think we're jumping the gun on this topic

I doubt the "cow catcher" will make it to production.
As for the G35 looks, they are trying to keep a family appearance with their cars. Expect the next Q45 to build on this as well.
