Gee Greg and Nick, that steak dinner in Phoenix is sure going to taste good! Can we invite Joe too?
Saw the Sport M45 with options I wanted listed out for $52,650.00. A good, if not compelling, buy in my book. Maybe the test drive will convert me. This car will sell like hotcakes at a lumberjack breakfast.

I think the bet was for an adult beverage, and Brian's memory must be damn good.
We had bet that the new M would NOT look like the Fuga (posted back in September), and I was mistaken - I was banking on something that would look more like a cross between the current M and a '63 Continental.
I'll gladly buy that steak dinner, though, with the knowledge that the new M will NOT look like (debatable) the Fuga.

I'm a little concerned that it's offered with the choice of the V6 or V8 - I'd really prefer designing the platform for only one engine - I just can't imagine that there aren't compromises when you set up a chassis for two engines.
All of that being said - I really like the looks of that car! I tried the "Build your M" option on Joe's flash link and it came out in the mid $50s nicely loaded. What's the price point going to be on the new Q, $65K+? Maybe they're going to seperate the M and Q by comfort options and make the Q even bigger than the M (with the added 7 inches) with real rear leg room, lots of power, but a soft suspension to really go after the LS430 luxury market instead of trying to make the flagship a luxo-sport combination?

I agree. I was a little surprised they even considered a V6. But this is clearly a marketing strategy to go after the GS300/400 line.Q451990 wrote:I'm a little concerned that it's offered with the choice of the V6 or V8 - I'd really prefer designing the platform for only one engine - I just can't imagine that there aren't compromises when you set up a chassis for two engines.
