Nice, though the innocuous music reminds of the ads Cadillac ran after GM filed bankruptcy and couldn't afford to license commercial tunes.

Best part of the M is the detailed interior.

Level up to a full electric and get that a** tapped. It eats real Porsches, not that weak thing.

Hybrids are stupid. They represent the worst of both worlds. Give me my M with full dino power please and save the pseudo green barge for the trendy posers.

And I even picked the most flattering Panamera pic I could find to put alongside the worst Prius pic I could find.

I actually like the Panamera.

Hopefully, I'll be the only one in America who does, so I can buy one for 12% of its original sale price. ;)

Not saying the Panamera is a beautiful car, but if you think a Prius is better looking than the Panamera, you might have some problems....

I don't hate it either. I've driven so many at my old job that they started to grow on me :couch

I can enjoy an ugly car if its cheap and cheerful. I drive a Saab and recently had a Crossfire SRT6.

We'll see where the Panamera's resale value ends up in 10 years. I'd probably prefer a used Boxster though.

Inspiration for the video originated when the Infiniti M Hybrid made it into the Guinness World Records® as the world’s fastest accelerating full-hybrid car last fall, when the 360-horsepower gas/electric luxury performance sedan covered the standing quarter mile in 13.9031 seconds (average of all runs).

Infiniti secured AMCI Testing, a third-party testing firm, to substantiate the speed of both vehicles and certified that the Infiniti M Hybrid actually was faster in its tests, covering the quarter mile faster in 13.41 seconds and accelerating from 0-100mph in 11.54 seconds.

13.4? Yeah, I need to bolt on some slicks and take that to the track!

So I'm a dope, and just FINALLY watched the video (youtube did not like me the day of the OP).

I don't think the M is ugly. I actually like the M a lot. It's very cool to see it whupping a**.
