2003 Infiniti M45 Road Test

In a move most didn't fully expect, Infiniti launched a new midsize model based on the full-size Q45 last fall. Its not that this was a bad idea, quite the contrary really, it's more about timing. With last fall's prolific level of new Infiniti introductions, highlighted by the G35 Coupe and FX45 sport utility, the M45 hardly got noticed. And that's a shame, as the new model is an impressive luxury car. Its wonderfully quiet, beautifully finished and wickedly powerful, a perfect high-speed freeway cruiser.
