I am a big E class fan, but to say it blows the M out of the water is hardly the truth. The new M has come a LONG ways, and even though the E class is a very nice car as well, i see them being very close competitors.
I dont like the new 5 series as much as the previous model..

I guess I'm the minority in my dislike for the look of the M37/56. I had my G serviced a week ago and spent a good 20 minutes analyzing the new M, and I was underwhelmed. Yes the interior is attractive, and yes the V8 on that puppy roars, but the exterior just doesn't wow me. Not to mention spending $70K on an Infiniti has to be one of the dumbest ideas yet. I just don’t see anyone forking over that kind of money for an Infiniti when you can get the new E-Class or the BMW F10 which both blow the M out of the water in damn near every category.
With that said, I am interested to see what a M37 coupe would look like, but that still wouldn’t sway me to unload my bank account.
As for the new G, they have stiff competition in 2012 seeing as that’s when BMW unveils the new 3-Series (F30). And for goodness sakes, someone inform Infiniti that it’ll be in their best interest to introduce a V8 G.

That's one of Infiniti's main problems, they don't want to get into the race against the 3-Series, IS, C-Class and A4. BMW yells, and screams that their #1 every chance they get. Audi takes direct shots at the 3-Series, because they know their #1 and Audi wants that spot. Benz hangs their Luxury Flag the highest out of the 4 brands. And Lexus claims they are on the "pursuit of perfection". And what does Infiniti claim, some foolish swoosh of a brush??? Nobody cares about that. Infiniti needs to get into the race, and start telling people why they should choose their brand over the other 4, and maybe they’ll increase customer volume.

Nice Hyundai with MB badging.. Worst design to come out of Daimler in awhile. The previous E was a MUCH better design inside and out, classic and handsome. This new one is absolute garbage catering to poseurs and superficial fools who just buy for the badge irregardless of design or quality. Not a huge fan of the Infiniti M either, but it still looks more appealing than the E in all aspects OTHER then price.

Yea I suppose it's where you are located, but it seems that majority of nissan/infiniti dealerships are total crap to deal with vs others. I know when my mom goes to service her car at Lexus they treat her as it's her first time there.
