Infiniti's 5-series rival used to be a nice, but anonymous car. After hooning it through Southern California's canyons, that's no longer the case. Now, the 2011 Infiniti M is Japan's Jaguar.

When the Infiniti M debuted it was a curiously designed Japanese Nissan hiding a powerful V8. Perhaps fearing the looks have caught up with the power, the 2011 Infiniti M's new 5.6-liter V8 pumps out 420 Louis Vitton-branded horses.

Nissan's released this teaser of the 2011 Infiniti M, set to debut August 14th at the Pebble Beach Concours, kinda. It's actually going to be digitally revealed, projected onto a blank foam model. Weird.
