Yes, they do share a few styling cues. I'm not a huge fan of the interior but the exterior is nice.

 

i think it looks more like an IS to be honest

 

the shape of the hood are almost alike

 

Looks so ugly in that pic...never thought id say this but that Infiniti looks like an uglier version of the Maxima

 

I think you need glasses! That's best looking M Infinti has made and it looks better then your Max!

 

It is much better looking than my 04 Max!
I was comparing it to the current Max

 

I really like it. With these Euro pedestrial crash safety design guidelines having a global impact and forcing these big bulging hoods for extra engine bay clearance, Infiniti (and Nissan) seem to have found ways to hide the bulge and still give their sedans a pretty sleek appearance. A lot of recent sedans have looked fat and ugly to me, but I was guessing they'd figure things out eventually (the Germans had a 1 generation head-start on all this).

 

I agree. They took the current stylistic cues that are driving Nissan and Infiniti today, then went overboard. When you start with a design that is borderline Gaudy, then add Bling and pointless curves to try and make it upscale, you end up with Pimp. (Hmm, the Genesis comes to mind, too.)

Infiniti is no stranger to Pimp. If Dolomite owned a car, it would be an Infiniti FX. (puke)

Just study the rear quarter panels, and the unnecessary upswoop to the lines there. It just isn't tasteful.



Now, 420 hp... that's freaking awesome. I wouldn't mind some of that!

 

I agree for the most part, this car is a 90% replication of the current G just stretched. It is very similiar from the side, rear and rear/side profile and from the front looks like a Max mixed with the G. Overall its decent!

 

Yes, an oversized G-Sedan, with a fair bit of 7th Gen Maxima thrown in. Good observation. But in my opinion the mix is a fail. It's over-styled.

Weird that this thread is here, and not in the Other Cars section. In case anyone is wondering... the only reason I occasionally troll the 7th gen section is because the new Max is so drop-dead gorgeous. It's my "if only" car.

That wood is nasty... I like.

 

OMG, look at that interior.

Does it come with the gay pimp hat?

 

Cool Cool, I still think that the Lexus GS in this class by far has the best styling (love that swoopy look) and the interior and quality are just top notch.

 

i would sure love to have that 5.6 v8 in my max

 

I think the headlights look small, but it's a nice car. However, For the money, I'll stick with my Maxima.

 

^^i agree, the price is alot

 

does anyone have performance specs for the m56?

 

Follow the first link...

 

^^ or post #12 in THIS THREAD! lol

 

i dont see any 0-60 times or 1/4 times

 

You asked for performance specs, not times

I haven't seen times yet either.

 

I'd rather have my Maxima! It just looks like a complete flowing car, the Infiniti sedans just look smooshed up at the back, they're incomplete. Like I say, if it's incomplete it can't compete with my 7th Gen. Maxima!

 

Sorry... but the new M is fuggin' gorgeous!
