It's time for me to consider a change...

I've had my '03 Q45 Premium since March, 2005. I really like this car and could not have found a better deal when I bought it.

However, now I see all the new designs and enhancements that Infiniti is incorporating into its vehicles and I feel a bit left behind.

So, should I get out of the F50 and get into a '06 M45? There are some GREAT deals to be had on left-over '06 cars. I found one M45 (non-Sport) with everything but the reclinging rear seats, rear AC / audio controls, and rear sunshade (the Premium Package) for about $13K off the original sticker, and the gears in my head are grinding away...

Any thoughts?

P.S.I also looked over the 2007 G35 Sport and it was REALLY impressive! A really great buy and definitely makes you think twice about the new 3-series.

I dont think anyone here will tell you buying a new G35 for 13k off the sticker is a bad idea at all. The Q is a classic, but be prepared to be shelling out the bones to keep it in top shape competing with any 06 infiniti.

Jump into the M. The styling is anonymous but if you don't mind that, its a nice step up.

When the current M45 came out, I realy liked it, but when I saw the new G35, it made the M look very dated. Either get the new G or wait a bit for the next gen M. I don't know when it will come out, but if it's anything like the G, it will be hot.

I agree with you lou, however after driving them both the M still remains supreme.. The interior is about the same on the G vs M. however the entire package is much better...
