    A $50,000+ car should not look like a a Hyundai Elantra in profile. It's such a shame that the original Q45 was thought of as a flop - it was smooth, gorgeous, and expensive-looking.

    @pejer: IMO, this model line is the best example of the subsequent iterations not living up to the original. That's a seriously underrated design. It's the Japanese rendition of a modern gangster car.

    BTW, prices on these suckers have fallen to about $8K. I'll be buying one soon.

    RWD V8 sedan. This is good no matter how you look at it. This segment is at a crossroads and kudos to Nissan/Infiniti for bringing it to market... the economy/mpg regs/emissions be damned.

    That being said, the eco pedal is shiite. At this point I await the first drive.

    I vote for roof-mounted V-8's... I mean think about it; we've got TONS of headroom on most overpasses, it would REALLY free-up more trunk space.... which said Nissan target-demo divorcee's could probably use while ferrying kids & their corresponding overnight luggage/soccer kit bags back & forth from said co-custodial assignments. Yep, that's it... let's get to strengthening those c-pillars.

    The outdoor unit must have weighed about 250lbs, but because of OSHA, they had to rent a crane.

    @McLawdog: That's funny; I'm with you with Audi being tops in the looks department, but I've liked a lot of Nissan/Infiniti's recent stuff has done...enough to put them in at least the top five.

    Sure, they make mistakes (Versa, Sentra, Murano) but they've had some gems too, IMO: the Z, the G35/37, FX, Maxima, etc. This M improves on the old, stale M with lots of cues from the Essence concept. Without a doubt I believe Infiniti has the best looking model line of the three japanese luxobrands. Nice dash evolution, too.

    I'd rather see the first incarnation return.

    Blocky? Yes.

    Appealing? To some of us (except for the stupid orange IC lights...grrrrr).

    @TellarHK:

    I came this close to buying a '94 Q45a, but I'm glad I didn't, as, besides the active suspension being a long-term nightmare...though it was mighty cool...they didn't seem to age well in the upholstery department.

    I even looked a couple last winter, when I was shopping for a ride, but they were all torn up.

    The a's are a nightmare when things start to go southbound, and it's a shame, but most Q's I see are pretty much trashed. I'm lucky that mine's pretty close to cherry, my mom took great care of it before handing it down.

    I knew they'd eventually use that 5.6L for something other than the Titan. Really, it was the only good thing about the Titan. Quite a torquey motor. I'm glad to see in a car.

    Agreed on a 560Z

    Looks good, actually. Much better than clay models. Slightly resembles a QP in terms of shape.
