new infiniti M

400+ hp, might be a cheaper alternative to the IS-F and M3.
I'm not a fan of cars that big though.

It's a luxury car with a huge engine. I like it. But I'd rather have something sporty. All these cars (like the m3 and IS-F) are moving towards luxury with big engine.... I don't like it. I'd rather have an early 2000's M3. They still had the sporty appeal.

It's a Cavalier
Nice looking car... I can't any real faults in the styling.
The profile reminds me of the old Lexus GS series and the Jag XF. I agree that the taillights are Jaguar-esque.
I guess the new thing to have a very gradual slope from the end of the roof to the trunk... not as pronounced as the Porsche Panamera, but it's there.

It has a 5.6 liter v8 with only 400 bhp. Pretty sad compared to BMW with a 4.0 liter v8 with 420 bhp. Nissan never gets their motors to rev very high, so it's not surprising.
Also it won't offer a manual transmission. So I guess if you want a big lazy motor with an auto tranny and a huge, heavy frame, then you wouldn't want this anyway cuz why not just get an Acura or a lexus, not an infiniti which is obviously a step down from the two. (especially in interior design.)
Also the rear three quarter view they show looks quite similar to a Camry.

Yeah that's true. I like the G37 coupe though 
The tailights remind me of a jag. Not digging it really. Only a subtle difference (other than size) between the G and the M

It is more interesting than the outgoing model. Nicer looking than the awkward new E-Class. 5-Series needs a redo and the TL is butt ugly. Lexus GS getting old.
Reviewers like the current M, but it has never caught on like it deserved to. I do hope they tilt the awkward horizontal nav controls.
