 2006 Infiniti M on carlist.com
According to Dave Burrows, Director of Operations, "Infiniti has been like a stock; you’re not sure what to do with it, but you hang onto it." Burrows is saying that on the eve of a year of good fortune.
Infiniti Vice President and General Manager Mark Igo announced at the 2005 Detroit Auto show that Infiniti had its best-ever sales year in 2004, recording 130,986 units sold, an increase of 10 percent over calendar year 2003 sales.
The Front-Midship is the platform for the Nissan 350Z and the Infiniti FX35, and FX45 and the G35.

 The all-new Infiniti M 2006 - JapaneseCarFans.com
The all-new Infiniti M, which is scheduled for sale in spring 2005 as a 2006 model, captures essential elements of both the Q45 luxury performance sedan and the award-winning Infiniti G35 – and takes them to a new level of engaging luxury and performance.
At the heart of the Infiniti M is the high-performance power of a choice of advanced V8 or V6 engines, with the vehicles badged M45 or M35 respectively.
The Infiniti M will be offered in five models: the M35 (V6 rear-wheel drive), M35x AWD (V6 all-wheel drive), M35 Sport (V6 rear-wheel drive with Rear Active Steer and 19-inch wheels and tires), M45 (V8 rear-wheel drive) and M45 Sport (V8 rear-wheel drive with Rear Active Steer and 19-inch wheels and tires).

 USATODAY.com - Infiniti M-series merges style and substance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
The '06 M replaces a nearly anonymous model called M45 that was meant to plug a hole in Infiniti's lineup and sold in small numbers.
Far from outrageously styled, the M nonetheless is arresting and proved it by yanking plenty of heads around in the kind of double-takes usually reserved for sports cars.
M is 192.6 inches long, 70.8 inches wide, 59.4 to 60 inches tall (depending on model), on a 114.2-inch wheelbase.

 New Infiniti Cars and SUVs - Edmunds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
The Infiniti G35 is sold as either a coupe or a sedan and is popular with consumers thanks to its strong V6 engine, capable handling, available all-wheel drive and reasonable price.
The same holds true for the larger Infiniti M. All-new for the 2006 model year and a major improvement over the 2004 model, the new M strikes an intriguing balance between speed, luxury and style.
The Infiniti FX models (which include the V6-powered FX35 and V8-powered FX45) are crossover SUVs that trade some versatility in exchange for sport-sedanlike handling and standout styling.

 2006 Infiniti M: Some Like it Hot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
The drive in the M is great from all performance standpoints, if the balance that this is also supposed to be a luxury sedan is taken into consideration.
The standard M model features a smooth and relaxed high steering ratio, but the sport package tightens things up a bit (about as tight as the bellhop uniform Jerry squeezed into before trying to push Joe, in a wheelchair, past Spats and his men…can you guess the movie we’ve been referencing yet?) for quicker response.
Infiniti provides this function on their automatics, so downshifts in the manual mode in their automatic transmissions are not only quick but are fairly smooth thanks to rev-matching.

 Carpages.ca - 2006 Infiniti M Road Test
As Infiniti's newest car, and what most will probably consider the flagship until the not-that-appreciated prestige Q45 is revised, the M sedans benefit from all the design and engineering technology that Nissan can muster.
Infiniti claims that the M's interior is larger in interior volume than every single competitor in the class, with the Cadillac STS taking runner-up by a mere 0.2 cubic feet.
Infiniti describes the human-machine interface to be one of "intuitive and anticipatory interaction with the vehicle." What that means, we think, is that the technology controlled by the driver is intended to be easy to figure out.

 2006 Infiniti M Sedan - Automotive Rhythms
With the 15th anniversary of sales in North America, Infiniti, intent on not making the same mistake twice has come out guns blazing with the all-new 2006 Infiniti M sedan, which stands in line in front of the G35 and in back of the Q45.
The sexy M is available in five models ranging from the $39,900 M35 with a 3.5-liter 280-horsepower V6 to the $49,550 M45 Sport with a 4.5-liter 335-horsepower V8.
This brings me into the interior of the M which Infiniti intended for “everything to feel exceptional to the driver’s touch.” From the optional Brazilian Rosewood grain or aluminum trim, to the double stitched leather seats and shift knob, the spacious cabin does its best to appease passenger senses.

 First Drive: 2006 Infiniti M - Automotive Articles .com Magazine
The M’s interior mixes the design aggressiveness of the G35 and FX with the quality and elegance of the Q45 for a result that is unlike anything previously created by Infiniti, or any competitor for that matter.
This new M is different; it’s at or near the top of every performance category all for a lot less cash than the typical E-Class or 5-Series.
Certainly, Infiniti is hoping for the best by allocating larger numbers of M models to dealers like Palm Springs Infiniti that have a track record of strong high-end model sales.

 Infiniti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Infiniti vehicles are traditionally based on the same automobile platforms as Nissan models.
Infiniti was introduced in the United States by Nissan in 1989, to rival Toyota and Honda's introduction of their own luxury brands, Lexus and Acura, respectively.
Car and Driver reported that Infiniti executives invited members of the motoring press to a meeting where they "swore never again to take their eyes off BMW." Although this effort began with a completely redesigned Q45 flagship for the 2002 model year, it was the G35 that finally turned sales around for Infiniti in 2003.

 2006 Infiniti M Overview
The M45 Concept features a powerful 340-horsepower 4.5-liter V8, taken from the flagship Infiniti Q45, along with a new generation of the FM (Front Mid-ship) platform currently used on the G35 sedan, G35 coupe and FX premium crossover SUV.
The system recognizes lane markings and calculates the lateral distance between the vehicle and the lane marking, along with vehicle speed relative to the marking, and generates an audible signal to warn the driver of a pending, unintended lane departure.
The M45 Concept is yet another example of Infiniti’s leadership in providing luxury that appeals to both the soul and intelligence of the driver,” said Igo.
