Based on these pictures, who do you think is gonna be a winner?

ColdFusion - maybe it finding the pics from your local cache, hit refresh and see what happens.

I posted the same kind of thread on rx8forum.com. Let me copy it here.

Holy crap! The new RL looks like a beefed up Mazda 6! I like the Mazda 6 a lot but somehow I don't picture an upmarket car like the RL looking like the 6.

OK, I guess I officially like the M45 the most now. The GS is already looking dated to me (and it's not even out yet!), and the RL doesn't quite say "luxury" enough to me. The M45 looks great inside and out and looks like the best choice on paper in my opinion.

This pic of the RL looks really nice

[ColdFusion]

I think the RL will be like the TL. When i say that, i mean that it looks better in person than in pictures. It looks really good in these pics though

pelucidor and coldfusion... thanks for re-posting! for me, it would be hard to decide between the M45 and the GS. the only thing i really like about that RL is its interior.

Just based on how they look from pictures alone, M45>RL>GS. However, if the reported hybrid versions of the new GS turn out to be true, it'll be hard to overlook the GS.

OK OK , check it out... one thing HONDA (ACURA)is really good for is making some BEAUTIFUL interior colors and designs.. VERY GOOD HONDA! LOVE the RL's gauges! exyterior isnt too bad either, a little TOO MUCH "BLING BLING" on the front grill tho!

As for the Lexus, omg, it looks really nice just, need to update a bit more drastically because that designs has been beaten to death! But still i bet you it is a FANTASTIC RIDE, and nice preformance as well.

As for the INFINITI, ok the front end looks really nice(almost perfect!). The interior looks really good (love the 2-tone leather). As for the TAIL LIGHTS.....OMFG they SUCK!!! ALL the INFINITIs have the same F**KING style of the G's NOW!!!?? Even the damn Q45 has been switched over!! Does nissan have a shortage of ideas for tail lights!? (and some head lights!! 04 maxima looks like a g35 head lights) They need to change those haggard a$$ tail lights, they look like BUTT! They are repeating the past with the 96' altima and the 95' J30!

just a shot from my opinion... ITS JUST OBVIOUS, and gets very tiresome! peace

All 3 are awesome inside and out. I've been on the Infiniti website but they keep changing the price a lot of people's dismay.
