Default Nissan Fuga

A luxurious sport sedan from Nissan. Two V6 engines, a 2.5lt and a 3.5lt.
Has a new electronic automatic 5-speed gearbox. There are not many specs available yet, but it's supposed to be comfortable, roomy and technologically advanced.
It is already out in Japan, and it will also be out in the US in 2005 with the name "Infiniti M".

Looks like a combination of the Altima, Maxima, a Maybach's rear, a Cayenne's rear, and a G35's rear...

Thank you Nissan for building yet another waste of metal.

Umm.. this won't exactly be a Maxima replacment.. but it will replace the M45 in the US, and wherever else Infiniti is sold. Basically, you can think of this as a larger G35.. it will have the G's 287HP VQ engine.. along with the same 4.5 liter V8 that was in the last one, 340 horspower (maybe even more), and competing against cars such as the GS430, or the BMW 545i.

Anway, this is the old one:
