Infiniti M's design is meant to ''optimize both luxury and sport styling to create a dynamic visual appeal.''

The M's long wheelbase and short overhangs provide a well-grounded look and more interior space. Also featured are lightweight body components, including aluminum-alloy inner and outer door panels, hood and decklid panels.

Interior features include Rosewood or aluminum trim, leather-appointed seats, Solar Eclipse instrument lighting system, and optional heated power reclining rear seats.

For more money, there's an advanced Bose Studio Surround sound system with digital 5.1-channel decoding and 14 speakers, including two mounted in the shoulders of each front seat.

Also optional is the new Lane Departure Warning system, which 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.

Other safety features include an Advanced Air Bag System with dual-stage front supplemental air bags with Occupant Classification System and roof-mounted side-impact curtain air bags and brake-operated Pre-Crash front seat belts, which tighten under emergency braking in anticipation of an evasive maneuver or crash.

There's certainly a lot of Pat Boone in there. Whether or not there's enough Elvis Presley to get anyone excited remains to be seen.
