2nd Gen M35/45 ?

[yidal8]

Someone reportedly on Freshalloy saw the new M35 in a marketing / consumer evaluation of sorts by Nissan . The car is bigger then the G , smaller then the current M , more room in the back , basically looks like G35S 'on steroids' from the back , rounded with two twin pipe tips .Front looks similar to G35C , Much nicer interior then the G , 280HP V-6 , $39-45K was mentioned . No AWD , car looked 'very nice' , many hi-tec options .This if true , the M will have 2 engine choices like the FX . Probabely the M45 will be $46-53K ?The talk is Feb.2004 or thereabout .This makes the leftover 03M45 an even better value at under $40K fully loaded , new . The used 03M may be depreciating even steeper when the new M comes out , if it is as nice as reported .But what if the M45 will have more HP then now ???

Holy moly. I bet with low resale I could grab an M for cheap in a couple years.

I have a feeling the M35/M45 will replace Q45 altogether, at least for a few years.

It's not worth spending a lot of money producing and marketing a flagship when you can't sell enough to recoup costs.

They are still selling more Q's and M's than Jaguar has ever sold XJR's.Still selling more thaC32's.

Etc etc.

A lot of rom left tehre.

Besides being able to share powertrain with M45 is a good hing too.

Both the current Q and current M45 rock!
