    The bulges and musculature that makes the FX look like a nicely toned bicep makes the M look like a disturbing round beer belly.

    Yes, but is it any better than this version of the "M"?

    @UDMan:

    I still like the first-gen...if only I could change the color of the instrument panel lights.

    The bonus on the older ones is, depreciation is in your favor.

    @UDMan: This one's rocking a bit of the Z4 vibe. I'll have to see one in person. It might just work, and the photos can't convey it. Or it might be an overwrought, baroque embarrassment.

    All of their grilles now have too much entasis and that Ford shaving blade thing going on. It just doesn't make any sense in the context of the entire car. I suppose their marketing research people have discovered that rich buyers like prominent grilles.

    They're probably right. The first Q45 just has an enormous, ornate badge, no visible radiator opening at all, and they didn't set any sales records with those things - which were the equivalent of a zen mountain stream, people.

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Indeed, just take a look at the MB grills/badges, and especially Audi's designs. It astound me that I can use a MB badge as a frisbee and that the Auto-Union rings run nearly 1/3 the width of the car

    @UDMan: It's unfortunate that car didn't get a better reception from the buying public, I really liked it. Sort of a police interceptor that went to finishing school. In black with the painted wheels it looks like ten types of badass.

    I'm just assuming it'll have a baleen grill, but at least the shape doesn't resemble an overstuffed ups box. 2011 looks a lot more G35 coupe to the baseline's G35 sedan.

    that doesn't count as a teaser, half of every car nowadays has a silhouette like that
    i can't think of many cars that manage to have a bad roof line, its everything downwards of it that makes the difference

    Infiniti has come a long way from its original advertising in 1989 (where they didn't even show you the car) to now (where you get two brush strokes).

    God I hate the BMW SUVs. The X5 V8 isn't bad for towing especially now that it is available in diesel, but I have only ever known one person who bought one to replace their boat hauler. The others should just vanish.
