- Revised front and rear fascia, headlights, grille, rear decklid and taillight design, rear fender panels, new chrome accents
- New wheel designs
Since I will be looking at the M45x, I am not in a position of trying to decide whether to get a deal on an '07 or wait for the '08, but I am still quite interested in any style changes. I generally like the look of the M (it doesn't knock me over, but it appears well designed and proportioned), except for the rear taillights. And by rear taillights, I mean in particular the (to me) jarring white gash of the turn signal lights. I would be thrilled if the aesthetics of the rear end were improved. Are there any pictures available yet of the revised design?

M35x US MSRP - $43,250
M35x Canadian MSRP - $59,900
Average F/X over the last 6 months ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO FAIR PRICING.
Go to Williamsville, or Buffalo, pay a few bucks for testing and papers to get the car legally back home, and you're done -saved $10K. (And I know some disguised Canada Nissan Sales poster will try to argue that there are 'model' (read:option) differences in the above list pricing - but come on guys - $10K???????). In fact, if you dig deeper, the Canadian dealers are probably trying to source their inventory from the US (it used to be the other way round, when the C$ was trading at 0.65 cents). In short - unless Nissan, Toyota and others get real quickly (to protect their bordertown Canadian dealers), I'm about to be a first-time customer in Buffalo - like thousands of other GTA folks who can afford $40 in gas to get there.

I'm really interested in an M, probably the M35x and test drive one every year. I just can't warm up enough to it to "pull the trigger." The price is right, but it just doesn't all come together.
Lexus....oh this wanna be! Of course you get a plush ride, great service and realibility,except on the GS series ( a lot of problems- body integrity, sounds system, ruttles). Honestly, if I am 80 yrs. old I would consider a Lexus and or Cadillac. This are the most boring cars on the road today, period!
So, that being said I want to remind you that Infiniti has the Best technology in the industry! In what car can you voice command the nav. the radio the CD and in the '08 download music- up to 3,000 songs (Lexus LS is only 2,00 and the new C class M-B is a little less). Do you know that you can say a buisenes phone # and it will find you the address alon with the Point of Interests! All that for a lot less than any other competitor!
I owned M-B's, Lexus, Acura, Porsche- Infiniti is by far the leader in innovation, technology, performance, attention to detail and Value. And please, don't buy a luxury car for the gas millage only ( the E320 Bluetech is your best choice for that, not Lexus [non-permissible content removed] hybrids), look at the overall aspects!
If you still have doubts, contact me....:-)
Cheers!!!
Now, read carefully. in '09 there will be an M50 at around 380 HP. So, for those who have a lease about to end you can get a short term new lease ( 21-24 months, don't forget you can always do early term. 6 months before the end of the term).
Do you have any insights into:
Will the M50 be available in AWD as an M50x?
Will there be a new engine for the V-6 car? The one in the current M35x is a generation behind what they have in the G35x.
Will there be any changes in the auto transmission, such as additional number of speeds?
Thanks

You have seen the trend and you know the momentum is for a stronger Canadian dollar, so now is the time to at least price the same in Canada as the USA.
Pricing 42% more in Canada is wrong.
> easy to see on www.infiniti.ca and www.infiniti.com
> M45 $73,400 in Canada versus $50,550 in USA
> this $22,850 difference is in after tax dollars. Even at a 35% tax rate, a Canadian has to make almost $31,000 just to pay for the difference.
As you have yet to release and post your 2008 prices, here is your chance to fix the pricing and show you are a good corporate citizen.
Aside from the obvious issues of installing DRL, assuring bumpers/seatbelts/emissions conform to cndn standards, and likely swapping out the instrument cluster for a metric one, the warranty issue is the big sticking point. I read yesterday that Honda USA/Canada have recently come together to screw the consumer by saying that not only would a USA-purchased vehicle not have its warranty honoured in Canada, no USA-based dealer will honour the warranty once the car has been brought across the border and registered in canada. so even for those living in border communities who may be thinking the warranty is not an issue - they would just pop across the border for servicing - they are being railroaded by corporate collusion. Other manufacturers have not been as short sighted (Toyota and Subaru for example)...
A new G-coupe is $40k in the US and $51k in Canada. Yet, if warranty is not honoured, I will have no choice by to (1) purchase in Canada and say goodbye to the extra 10-15k (after tax), (2) purchase a cheaper vehicle (3) buy a vehicle from company that offers cross-border warranty coverage.

Welcome to CarSpace - we're glad to have you, but let's not come in shootin' up the place, okay?
Pricing has a lot more to it than the actual cost of the car.

Infiniti websites are not updated yet.
2007 pluses: wheels, colors (interior AND exterior), price (as a leftover)
2008 pluses: ipod connectivity / music hard disk (both very big deals to me as a music lover)
Can anyone think of any reasons to lease one as opposed to another?
Hope I won't get reprimanded for bringing up a competitors site. Just kidding.
:-P
