Default Wow, this is unbelievable. The S4 will no longer be the only V8, 340HP, AWD on the road...

I got this in my email:
As we continue to refine the Infiniti M Concept into a
remarkable production vehicle, we thought it would be
fitting to also enhance its online equivalent - the M
Concept web site. Log on to Infiniti.com/MConcept now
and you'll find the latest information, from more
detailed specifications to striking new photos, all of
which will help you discover how the M Concept is truly
redefining the luxury car.

You'll immediately see the M Concept is designed for
drivers who have the highest expectations for their
vehicles - who seek enriching, exhilarating experiences
behind the wheel. The breathtaking acceleration of a 340-hp
V8. The thrilling handling of an advanced all-wheel drive
system. The pleasure of a Bose® Studio Surround<sup>TM</sup> sound
system with digital 5.1 decoding. And, of course, the
satisfaction of a sensuous design. All brought together in
perfect harmony.

The M Concept also offers you an array of intriguing
choices, ranging from engine configuration to interior
trim, to meet your personal definition of luxury.

Visit Infiniti.com/MConcept. And visualize your perfect
M Concept.

Unbelievable. Check out some of the features...Intelligent key?! Wow...

Default I could care less...............

Prob no manual trans either. Doesn't come close to the S4 IMHO. No competition there at all.

Checked out the gallery of the Infinity. I'm sure it will put up some good performance numbers. Design is a whole other story. It's not my cup of tea I know that much, but design is all subjective. Remember too that Audi has been working on Quattro for what, 20 years now? I would think their AWD system might be better.

Audi will raise the bar with the next S4 as well. It's the auto business -- some innovate and others copy.

Default G35 now has AWD, this looks to be a development of that. I would imagine Renault has some AWD

experience to draw on.

doubt they will build a wagon - if they do it may look like the FX sport utility.
