Q45 and M45 to be Scrapped
Hey people! Back from hiatus again. Wondered how you felt about news from Auto Spies (if you haven't heard) about those two cars being scrapped and completely new cars in their place. The styling will be more cutting edge like the G35 or FX according to the designers at La Jolla. Here is the site. Look down the left hand side of the page to find the story. http://www.imakenews.com/autospies/

These guys kinda get on my nerves. They seem to constantly promote Nissan's California designers over the Japanese team, going so far as to recently imply that the only Infinitis that sell well are the ones designed in La Jolla (specifically mentioning the G). If I'm not mistaken, the ONLY Infiniti to come out of La Jolla is the Triant concept, correct?

Well supposedly all the hottest designs of late have come from the La Jolla team. I know they better be the truth because the Lexus LS is going to METAMORPHIC changes next year or two. LS 500/600 V12 with a 600 coupe as well. The new G35 has a new all wheel drive system but Infiniti needs to pull ALL the tricks out of this one.
Greg ,You have seen the new M ? You know I am on the verge of getting one now . You think I should keep driving my trusted 91Q and wait another year for the new one ?My personal opinion , or impression of the 'new generation' Infinitis (FX , G ) is that they are not made as well as the old designs (Q , M , I , G20 , J , QX)meaning - reduced costs to increase bottom line for the French. I never heard of anybody complaining about rattles in an Infiniti , untill these new ones came last year . Heck , my 91Q is still rattle-free . What I am saying is , the next Q, M will go the same road as the FX , G , giving you a bang for the buck upfront in the showroom , but maybe not after warranty is gone ( just like MB lately). So , in that respect the 03-04 Q,M, maybe remembered as the last of the 'real' Infinitis.

Keep this in mind: You can buy a LOADED M45 for around $40K.
Back in 1995 (!), that wouldn't have even gotten you CLOSE to a new Q45 (the closestcar to the new M). Consider what $54900 (the selling price of my Q in 1995) would buy you IN TODAY'S dollars...
The M is a great deal - And I'd jump on an 03 pronto if I were in a position to do so - The deals they are making on them are just outstanding.
Hey Olu! Good to see you again!

Uhhhh..Hitman, you've seen it? And you're not sharing? Pictures? Probably not, how about a detailed description? I for one am completely confused with the good deals available on this car right now versus the rumors about better looks and improved performance on the newer model. Plus I'm confused about when the new model really arrives. Can you help?
