would you upgrade to an M37 if the deal was right?

Another nice choice in the Ms price point, saw this on a morning show a few days ago and just looks SOOO sweet.

I am not comparing fully loaded, just the 550ix with P1 and P2 packages, which pretty much has +99% of whats available in the M56. The fully loaded 550 packs items not available in the entire Infiniti line up like night vision, heads up display, some nifty feature that locates parking for you, the back up camera makes the Ms look dated, rear entertainment, power sun shades, multi contour seats, etc. You have to compare like with like, therefore only use the premium packages. Not trying to get into a fight here, bear in mind the way the cars are packaged may be different in the US, not sure.
- "sport package" with gives you "M style" wheels, and an body kit
- "technology package" which gives you the lane departure, surround view camera, blind spot detection, and a rear view camera
-"executive package" which gives you heated and cooled seats, rear sunshade, satallite radio, and a heads up display
- "dynamic handling package" which gives you adjustible suspension
The only stand alone options are "rear seat entertainment" and "night vision"
Omitting the "dynamic handling package" and night vision only drops the price about $4,000 making the 5 Series still $16,000 more in Canada.
The other 3 packages are needed to give the 5 Series a similiar load out to a M56S.

Ok, then yeah it's packaged differently here.

I just saw the A7, played around in the interior and really took some time looking at the exterior. It is gorgeous, just stunning from all angles. Its like the Porsche Panamera for the "poor man". The interior is more like the A8, with the touch sensitive pad where you write letters with your fingers. At times 0-60 does not matter and the A7 presents one of those times. It weighs 4200lbs and with 310hp and over 300tq, its good for mid 5s to 60, not that it matters. Check it out first, I promise you, its a decision you will never regret.

I would have gone with the M, except that where I work right now, the parking spaces are very narrow, so the couple of extra inches of width would be a problem. And more importantly, parking a $50K car in the company lot would give the wrong impression...

At my current age and no kids yet, the G was the correct choice. In a few years when my wife and I start having kids, and my desire for modding and driving fast (hopefully) goes way down, I will really want the M. The M56s would be a dream to have, but just that at the price, a dream.

if the M37 had everything you wanted in it, yes
if it was like a good deal on a M37 cause the offer came around but it wasn't up to par as the G37S you were coming from, no.
if they are giving you higher than market value and you're not under your car at sale... it can be considered.
