2006 Infiniti M45 interior

Replacing the uninspired M45 that spanned a record-low two years (2003-2004), a brand-new M arrives for 2006. Using a stretched version of the G35's platform, it slots between the G and the Q, inheriting the former's V6 and the latter's 340-horsepower V8. Optional AWD on the M35 (V6) ensures that the Audi A6 and new Acura RL are not safe. All the latest gadgets are here, including blue HID lights (not finalized for production), headlights that rotate when cornering, Intelligent Key, lane departure warning system, Bluetooth wireless technology, 14-speaker surround sound, and rear-seat DVD.
