That was a long time ago... wasn't the 97-01 Q based on the Cedric too?

Is it just me or does that Ferdinand character look just like Gene Hackman?

V6 vs. V8 Just can't remember which one...I also know one is available in 4WD, or is it both?

Lot of Japaese models give the consumers options to choose different engine displacements, NA or turbo etc.Ced/Glo are like a RR/Bentley relationship. Ced got different (little more classy) grill, headlights, bumper sidemarker, more luxurious interior, and hood ornament; Glo with more aggresive looking grill, headlights, and Granturismo Edition with different engine options including choice of RB25DET motor and different body-kit(!) options.By the way, the Fuga (M45 Concept) has won 2005 RJC Car of the Year Award, and 2004-2005 Good Design Award in Japan. Also nominated by reputable economics magazine as 8th place in most popular items in 2004. Honda's Legend (New 3.5RL) won the same 8th place. 1st place was given to popular Korean actor Bae Yong-joon

This guy did a much better job with the 911 than the Cedric. I'd like to know who did the new M45. Now that's a nice car.

The 97-01 Q was the same as the JDM Cima, Y33 chasis. The Cedric / Gloria / M45 is the Y34 chasis, a little narower than the Y33.

IMO, the current M (Cedric / Gloria) is beautiful. It's totally different than any other car on the road. Muscular, sleek and sexy.

The current Ced/Glo/M is Y34, not Y32.Below is Y33 Gloria: Granturismo Edition.

Post by **gniknave** » Mon Dec 13, 2004 2:01 pm

That's FN sexy!

Intesting that the Cedric/gloria in that picture is a Y33, and the M45 is a Y34..

Maybe the old Cedric had the VH41...
