Infinity M56 S? What are Japanese smoking

carlos3366 · 03-16-2010, 10:18 PM

now days? 5.6 L V8. They need to leave the Germans alone and concentrate on what they "used to do best" small, fuel efficient cars.

I actually think its a hell of a car, wouldnt mind having one myself. Also wouldnt mind having that 5.6 in my Z, 560Z anyone?

Red370 · 03-16-2010, 10:36 PM

I mean, who wouldnt want 420hp from the factory?

We will see how it does. Not sure there is a market for it considering they already have a quick 4 door car though. I know the m56 is faster obviously, but not sure there will be enough people who will purchases both.
They spell it "Infiniti" though :P

I'm sort of glad they didn't, or else I wouldn't have my 370z.

It would be the ultimate

the torque and exhaust note would be simply increditble. Of course the price increase would be intense, insurance rating would go up, and drivetrain would have to be beefed up, but what a killer.

I think the M56 will be a success. Its nice to see ONE Japanese manufacturer try to take it to the Germans (I'm looking at you Acura and Lexus)....

i think the real question is what are you smoking? Infiniti was never about small and definitely NEVER about fuel efficient especially ever since 2003

The G20 was "sorta" small and effecient with that little Stanza 4 cylinder that it had then...hehe

wishihadnav · 03-17-2010, 07:05 PM

Red370 · 03-17-2010, 07:06 PM

No not the spelling police.

If you want a fuel efficient Japanese car get an Acura or a Lexus hybrid. Infiniti knows the deal. Bring the big stick or go home.
