2011 Infiniti M

Lights look like acura RL. No 5.0 V8????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kenny, are we in for a dissapointment? The 4.5 is just not as competetive as it once was.
I was really hoping the M50 would be my next car...

I have a feeling you won't be in for a disappointment. Kenny has already stated that Infiniti is going in a "faster" direction. Plus there are some options that Infiniti has but are keeping very quiet. The powerplant from the essence is one of them. There is absolutely a reason why they've only talked of the engine but they haven't gone into detail or shown it to anyone.
Tomorrow will be here soon.

You may be right after all I just like the fact that we'll have some choice. A hybrid which will probably put out just as much power as the V8. Plus the torque, when in hybrid "mode", will be pretty darn good

Yeah Lexus did that with the GS. There's the GS350 (V6), GS460 (V8), and the GS450h (V6 + electrical motor hybrid).

Yeah. I wonder if they are going with BMW "Angel Eyes" or Audi "Devil Eyes" theme. Keep in mind Infiniti had the LED strip on the fuga concept which predated what Audi did. They just didn't implement it on the production version.

BTW, could this be it?

Ye but lexus combined the hybrid drive with a CVT which kills the car performance wise. I hope infiniti does nto go that route, as we all know nissan loves CVTs

edit - now that I look at it more, I don't know. It doesn't seem to have the "waveform" hood like the current Infiniti's do and that seems to be one of their main styling cues. Now I'm beginning to think that's not it.
