2010 Chicago Auto Show: Spies Bring You The 2011 Infiniti M Up Close - Are You In Lust For It Or Did They Veer Off Track?

Im impressed so far... Can't say I notice the "special" finish on the wood trim, but looks tasteful- and I usually don't care for wood trim...

Kinda cartoonish for me. Not liking it very much.

I agree ....its like ok thats the new M. no wow factor to me I do have to say I kinda like the interior but as for the exterior im not impressed its typical infiniti to me. maybe I will have a different perspective on it when i see it in person

I agree. It's somewhat overwrought especially the shape of the dashboard.

me too........

Like Infiniti's Ms before it, this one really has no presence. It's OK and the interior looks well done but the car just doesn't raise my blood pressure...even a little.

In black, this car is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!! Very impressive.

Looks hot. I would take this over any of the other cars in its class. Good job Infiniti!

The back is actually alright, and the center dash doesn't look that swollen but rather helps make the interior look warm and welcoming. The front has an executive appeal, but from every single angle, I keep getting the feeling that the designers either finished designing a bit too early or... kinda ran out of ideas. The real life pictures are a lot better than those press pictures though.

Hopefully, all that metallic accents in the interior don't give an obvious feeling of plasticy-ness. That would really suck.

The interior trim is nice, I'll give them that. Otherwise, it's a joke. The front screams maxima with a gigantic infiniti grille plastered on, the swoopy curvy side angle is pure hyundai, and that rear is a failure.

But at least they gave it some curves, unlike the blocky boxy e-class.

Nice. The M just does it for me!!

Very nice, and that interior is simply gorgeous.

I like the styling a lot. Looks like a bigger G37 with little Mercedes CLSishh design in the rear end but still to me it is at least in the top 2 of it's class in terms of design.

JUGNU

It depends on the wheels..if the wheels are too small the body of the car looks too puffy...if it has the bigger wheel option the car looks great.

I think this is much better than the Lexus GS which is really looking old.
Nissan has been really low key but evolved their designs nicely from Maxima to 370Z. I like how they tweaked the Altima to make it nicer. The M will be a hit.

The exterior of this car,particularly the rear end is appealing, while all I can say about the front is that I can live with it. The bulbous curve of the front fender may complement that which exists in the rear, but it doesn't work as well in a sedan as it does in a coupe and it pulls the intended elegance of this car down a half notch or perhaps a full notch, for me.

The interior is another mix of emotions. The Infiniti practice of fitting a lovely analog clock to the centre of the console still grabs me. The wood looks well appropriated. The downside is the guages. The numbering on the speedo and tach belong in a Nissan 370Z and not in an Infiniti. There should even be a hint of calligrahic effort in them. Take a look at the lettering of a 1990 Q45 and you'll see what I'm talking about. The digital adornment showing gear selection and a few other bits of data is very low rent.

Would I buy? Probably not. But then again, maybe I would have to see it in person. Some cars are like that.

I like the interior....it looks luxury but the exterior screams of Hyundai azera!

Wow, I didn't realize Nissan sold the Infiniti brand name and design studios to Hyundai.

beautiful car, but design looks too similar to old one, this looks dated already :(
