2013 M56xS

Wow, this is Infiniti's current flagship sedan. Very nice. I didnt even know they made an M56xS, and its not simply an appearance package. You get suspension, brakes, body kit, paddle shifters, etc. just like you get in the rwd sport package. I found one online for sale at a little over $74k. It sits a little higher than the rwd sport, so hopefully that means a cushier ride than the current rwd sport models that the reviewers bash so heavily. Cant wait to see a comparison starring this model.

Yes if it was 20k less.
74k is a lot of $ that's m3/Amg/ level.
Wouldn't mind using one to take some long road trips in.

Drop the 5.6 engine for the 3.7 .... it offers plenty a pep for a 5 person sedan. Not too mention that many professional reviews I have read say the 3.7 is better suited for that car than the 5.6 (heavy, not as agile, etc).

For the money there isn't much better than the M37. I got the M37x out the door with premium and touring packages (Malbec Black with Java interior), best extended warranty and tire/wheel warranty for 52k. That's out the door!

This would be a great car to either lease, or buy CPO because an M wont stay in the 50-70k range for very long...

great car and i would love one, but can't justify the price they are asking. so many other cars out there in that price range or less that deliver more

That is one ugly monster truck! IMO of course... I just really do not like the aero on it either... Borrows ques from the IPL/anniversary coupe kit in the wrong ways... And as others have said, at that price point, I would look elsewhere.

Perhaps the M56 but I think you guys are all wrong on the M37x ..... don't think there is much out there that offers as much as the M37x for it's price point (maybe not msrp but by my earlier post you can see they can be had for way less than msrp).

Maybe if your thinking is, well if I spend 52k what's 60k or even 65k, maybe even 70k .... than yes.

Ive had the Luxury of driving just a base m56x and man are those thing beast. I didnt take the corners or nothing but straight line acceleration is freaking awesome. STIs and 5.0s dont stand a chance


Ive been browsing ebay daily waiting for an M56 to pop up just to see what they are going for and no dice.

If I'm not that impressed with the Q50, I'm seriously considering an M56.

I know they're not everyones cup of tea, but I think it looks badass with those giant 20" wheels and the aero kit. It's still a big, awkward looking brute but I really like it.

Really , have you ever driven a new 5.0 or Sti?
Guess not, because they are the fastest cars in their class.
Those are mid 4 seconds 0 to 60, the m56 is not faster than either one of thoose on a good day.
As much as I'd like to see the v8 infiniti's in some other of Infiniti lineup it won't happen.
Sorry to say m37 is the better choice.
This is one of thoose rare occasions that I would opt for the smaller engine.
V8 isn't helping sell the m models.

Have you ever lined any of them up and seen who wins? I sold new STIs for a year and a few 5.0s and come by the lot as well. Best friend drives an STI that I sold him a year go, the M is no slouch.

The m56 is sick, i think it looks great. But as many of you said at that price range there are too many options, 550, s6 etc... But once the depreciation really starts hitting those bad boys and they start popping up on various lots it'll definitely be worth a thought. Drop that thing with some wheels, geeshh... I can def see one being set up the right way.

Your telling me a m56 will outrun a 5.0?

Idk anyone who would cross shop a m56 with a 5.0.

Mustang is HALF the price & will walk all over the m56.

You do know the mustang is running the 1/4 in low 12s actual driving not a magazine article.

I have driven all of these ,except for the m56.

m56 has about a zero chance of beating a 5.0 in any area.

Maybe on luxury, the Stang is what 500 lbs lighter ?

Love salesman, most of you guys really will say anything to sell a car.
