There sure has been a lot of buzz surrounding the 2006 Infiniti M-series cars.
Most of the magazines have rated the new cars highly and some have even put them in first place in some reviews.
Is the praise warranted?
We had the chance to finally sample two of the new M’s (M35/M45) this last week and for the most part we are very impressed with the car.
But we have to say, if it was a just a sheer driving competition, we’re mystified how it placed first in some of the mag reviews.
We’re convinced it had to win based on a ‘bang for the buck’ premise.
Because if you think the M's drive as well as say a BMW 5-series, you’re sadly mistaken.
Say what you want about the design of the 5 (and we have many times) but it is without equal when it comes to the driving department.
The new M drive is very good but not great.
Are we saying the new M is disappointing? Far from it.
It is an EXCELLENT car that also wins the ‘bang for the buck’ crown, EASILY!
