2011 Infiniti M - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Infiniti provided an advanced look at the all-new 2011 Infiniti M performance luxury sedan at the 59th Annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. This is the third generation of popular Infiniti M and the first to be sold across all of Infiniti’s 32 markets around the world, including Western Europe.

Like the current Infiniti M, the next-generation design will be offered with V8 and V6 engines. The 2011 M models will be designated the Infiniti M56 and Infiniti M37 respectively, reflecting their more powerful, larger displacement engines. For Western Europe, the M56 will be replaced by a V6 performance diesel.

The 2011 Infiniti M also features a completely redesigned body, with authentic sports sedan proportions and evocative new styling with a low front end and deeply sculpted fenders inspired by the Infiniti Essence Concept car. The new Infiniti M interior promises to be pure Infiniti, highlighted by the use of innovative materials, an advanced climate control system, superior audio and an enhanced quality feel. Despite improved performance from the new engine line-up, fuel consumption will be reduced. In addition, the 2011 M will continue Infiniti’s technology innovation leadership with an industry-first Side-Collision Prevention (SCP) system. The SCP system is designed to help alert the driver if another vehicle is detected during an intended lane change, and then help avoid a potential collision by assisting the driver in returning the vehicle toward the center of the original lane of travel.

The 2011 Infiniti M which is scheduled to go on sale across the world starting from Spring 2010, was revealed through a unique “video mapping” process, in which a “virtual M” was created on a 3D form. It is the world’s first “virtual only” (no physical vehicle) automotive application of this cutting-edge technology. The 2011 Infiniti M will make its official public debut in late 2009.

looks like they referenced the Panaramamericrapmistake from Porsche. I'm not digging Infiniti's round fishy look on there latest designs.

djmarkian · 08-15-2009, 01:20 AM

Looks nice, at least its somewhat more original than what other car makes are doing...

H15A5H1 · 08-15-2009, 03:27 AM

i like it. i wish they went more with their concept for the rear end treatment (especially tail lights).

Rear quarter shot has a Jaguar feel to it.

Eh doesn't do much for me, I think they could have done much better

Mz6GreyGhost · 08-16-2009, 08:33 PM

Nicely done IMO. Despite the Jag-like rear end, the front end is definitely keeping in line with the current Infiniti styling themes. I do like the concepts rear end better, but it's still leagues better than the not-so-pretty Panamera.

I was expecting more. The looks of the car are meh. So generic. Looks like a Hyundai. After hyping it up so much, all I can say is that they failed to deliver. Interior sucks as well. The dash looks like it melted recently.
Not knocking Infiniti in general. I sold my mazda6 and bought a new G37 which I like.
