Post subject: Question about LS430 Competitor

| I see ads for the new Infiniti "M" car. I am just curious if they still make
the Q45 or did they finally throw in the towel? I remember when the LS400
and Q45 first came out in 1989 as 1990 models. At the time it wasn't clear
that Lexus would emerge as the more desireable product. Anyway, I am
wondering if this new "M" car (I think it's just a Maxima dressed up...yes?,
no?) is now their flagship car.

Actually, the M is a scaled up G35. The M competes with Lexus G series,
although judging by this months Consumer Reports, it competes poorly. The
M35 is now Consumer Reports favorite luxury sedan.
Infiniti is on a roll. Lexus better get its butt in gear.

No, it's not. It's a COMPLETELY different platform, which has nothing
to do with the G. >> Stay informed about: Question about LS430 Competitor |

what? The second sentence completely contradicts your third sentence.
And your first sentence is completely out in left field. >> Stay informed about: Question about LS430 Competitor |

Wrong. The Q is very different, not the M.

What are you talking about? Read the car buff books for the origins of the
M.
How the heck does the second sentence contradict the third? They agree
perfectly.
