Pictures also include one of the next Q45 front end.

M45 interior shot.



And the rear of the 2005 Q45. I guess the 2004 is not to be?

Nice. I hope the new M does for Infiniti what the G/FX did. I don't think the Q will do anything, but it's as good as ever.

I sure like that new M. Looks much, much better that the old one.

The 05 Q's rear looks like a roundier updated version of the first gen. I like it!

M's interior is nice....not too sure about those tunnel like gauges tho.

I also love the new look of the M. No offense but I didn't really care for the current M45.

It was too boxy for my taste.

Does the 2005 Q get any interior enhancements, like the new M?

Go to the Nissan News page and click on Photo Library.

High resolution photos of both interior and exterior are there.

Wow. Thanks for posting those pics.

The new Q interior is gorgeous. I really like what they did with the two tone leather appointments.

Im hoping the next Q has more masculine creased lines (like the Altima). Hate the high-mounted center cluster of buttons, but I love the two tone interior!

Love the seats, and trim. but still don't like the mini-van center dash area.

The M interior is phenominal. Did anyone notice the A-Pillar looks to be about 6" wide??!!

I need to get a second job in order to afford a Q, M and FX and of course still keep my G. I need one of each.

The 05 Q has the dashboard, center console, shifter, center armrest from my current 03 M45; tach and speedometer layout is different. Kinda weird; looks like they had too many M45 interior components laying around that they had to use for the new Q. I love the new M45 interior, but in my mind the outside has lost some of it's very distinct look (like the old one or not, it was distinct). Somewhat bland. I Like the nose, and the 19in wheels look nice, the back looks like a morphed G35 Sedan... I hope that the new M (and Q, of course) will be a bigger seller for Infiniti, it is such a great car for the $$$... What a bang for the buck...

I absolutely LOVE the new M45 interior in the pics up top...

However, I am in love with the styling of the current M and dislike the new one greatly.

The new Q? I'm still thinking about it... Interior is OK, I think the Brick leather would work better on a black car. I'd like to see the 05 Q interior in Willow before I pass judgement.

I don't like the exterior changes, but then again I don't think they hurt it at all....

Heartily agreed! The new Q and new M look too much like much of the cars that are on the road. The current M has unique and distinctive styling that gets heads turning!

I will look forward to a thorough test drive when the 2005 M45 is available. It is the view from behind the wheel when one is carving some curves that really matters.__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t & 2000 Q45

You know, what's really odd about all of this is there is a 2004 Q45 owner's manual availble for download, but the 2005 Q45 is meant to be available in July 2005, less thatn 3 months? Perhaps the 2004 Q45 will have an even shorter run than the 1993 Q45.

Maybe the 2005 Q45 is a late arriving 2004?__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t & 2000 Q45

I was at the NYIAS on Friday. The new M45 was the best car that I saw. What a nice car. Sorry, I forgot my digital camera. So I was speaking to someone working the Infiniti stand and they say that it will be out in late 05 as a 06 model. An M35 with RWD & 4WD, and a M45 with RWD. She said that she wasn't sure that they would be making the M45 4WD. Since I get snow here in Jersey, I hop they make a 4WD one.
