Infiniti's new M45 = future G35c design direction!
The new Infiniti's M45 design could be the design direction of the next G35c. I really like its design. It even has push button engine start. Its official MSRP is
http://www.nissannews.com/?http://ww...72105400.shtml
The Infiniti M45 Concept vehicle, which made its world debut at the 2004 New York International Auto Show, not only gives a look at the next generation M45 sedan, but also the future design direction of Infiniti. The M45 Concept vehicle captures the essence of the current Infiniti M45 – including its sense of elegance, distinction and driving pleasure – while advancing its high levels of sensuous style, engaging technology and driving excitement.
The M45 Concept optimizes both luxury and sport styling to create a dynamic visual appeal. The exterior design features a low, aggressive hoodline, which flows into the anchored shoulders and contributes to the sporty, powerful silhouette. Inside, the interior is highly expressive, combining a driver-oriented cockpit with an Infiniti level of luxury and design detail.
At the heart of the M45 Concept is the high-performance power of the advanced 4.5-liter DOHC V8 currently used in the Infiniti Q45, M45 and FX45. For use in the M45 Concept, it produces 340 horsepower and is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission with short-throw performance shifter and manual shift mode.
Advanced technology is abundant on the M45 Concept – starting with a new active rear control suspension system, which helps improve vehicle handling performance by adjusting the geometry of the rear according to steering input and vehicle speed. Also featured on the M45 Concept is a new Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system, which warns the driver of a pending, unintended lane departure. The M45 Concept provides a blueprint for the upcoming 2006 Infiniti M45, which is scheduled for spring 2005.
Highlights of the M45 Concept include:
Body
Sporty, luxurious design
Expressive, jewel-like grille and crystal-look headlight cluster
Stable posture with long wheelbase (114.2 inches), wide tread and short overhangs
Low, aggressive hoodline and anchored shoulders provides a sporty, powerful silhouette
All-steel unibody with very high level of torsional rigidity
Engine and Driveline
32-valve 4.5-liter DOHC V8 producing 340 horsepower
Modular cylinder head design, lightweight pistons, titanium valves, continuously variable valve timing, variable length induction system

Suspension, Steering and Braking

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
Enhanced power-assisted steering system with sport ratio
19-inch wheels and high-performance tires
Interior Features
Inviting interior feel with use of etched aluminum and leather appointments

Contemporary instrument panel
Advanced “Solar Eclipse” instrument lighting system

Re: Infiniti's new M45 = future G35c design direction!
Ya know, to each his own, but I like my G's interior because it feels like a car....that looks like a fighter jet. "Lets see how many buttons we can cram into the tightest spot possible to make it look good" Infiniti seems to be taking this stance with this new interior look. The exterior? Pimped out 4 door chevy look up front, wanna be G35S look out back. I will admit, that interior looked good when I first looked at it, and I was convinced it was in a truck. That doesnt work for a car.

Re: Infiniti's new M45 = future G35c design direction!
i really like the agressive front headlights on it. i think they are much nicer than the G's, and wish the G had them. Personally, i just can't get over infiniti not giving the coupe all the luxary options available, such as voice recognition. They ahve the technology, so let it be available as to compete with the TL who does off it.
