Are you an idiot? The new M37/M56s are a huge step up over the current gen M35/M45 in both quality and power. Infiniti continues to impress more and more with each new generation of cars they come out with....their the only Japanese auto company to really offer any thing exciting in the sport luxury segment. The new M series should make a GREAT BMW 5 series competitor....looks better in everway to me .

Also i'm pretty sure the M56 will be a high 12 second car from the factory...

wow that is ugly

here is a real M56



The M56 submachine gun appears to be a simplified clone of German MP40 submachine gun, adapted for 7,62x25mm pistol ammunition, which, compared to 9x19mm ammunition of MP40 provided longer effective range and better penetration, but slightly less stopping power. The M56 submachine gun had a relatively long service life.

M56 submachine gun is blowback operated, full automatic only weapon that fires from open bolt. The bolt system is of simple design, with exposed, large diameter return spring. The cocking handle is located at the right side of the bolt and doubles as a manual safety - pushing it inwards locks the bolt in open or closed position. The stock is copied from MP40 and folds down and forward to save the length. Sights are of open type, with flip-up rear, marked for 100 and 200 meters range. One unusual feature of M56 is that it has a bayonet lug on the barrel and thus can accept a knife-bayonet.
