First Drive: 2011 Infiniti M
Review by Motor Trend

“The last time we had an Infiniti M in a comparison test — a 303-horsepower, seven-speed M35 S — it finished eighth… out of eight cars. Or, as the seven other luxury brands are happy to point out, dead last. For the 2011 model year, though, Infiniti has put to bed the last-place second-gen M and pulled out from under the covers a third gen that is more stylish, more powerful, more fuel-efficient, and more technologically advanced. As you can tell, it’s got more of just about everything, a fact that will no doubt make it a formidable participant in the next shootout. But until we can amass another luxe-sedan showdown, let’s examine whether the 2011 M truly has the goods to be great.”

2011 M – First Drive Review
Review by Jalopnik

“Nissan’s luxury brand has always been a second rate player in some of the most competitive vehicle classes in the world. They want to be BMW, but basing cars on the front-wheel drive Maxima platforms was never going to get them there. Then, starting with the 2009 G37 Sedan and more recently the Coupe and 2009 G37 Convertible, Infiniti suddenly became competitive. You don’t need to make excuses for Infiniti’s latest generation of cars.”

“Infiniti’s 5-series rival used to be a nice, but anonymous car. After hooning it through Southern California’s canyons, that’s no longer the case. Now, the 2011 Infiniti M is Japan’s Jaguar.”

2011 Infiniti M – First Drive
Review by Automobile Magazine

“The M remains among the leaders in active safety technologies, with the industry’s first blind spot intervention (BSI) system added to its repertoire of driver aids. BSI gently nudges you back should you try to make a lane change with another car hidden in your blind spot. In a quick test of the system, it worked unobtrusively but is easily overridden or turned off should you be in the mood to pit-maneuver yourself into someone else’s car. We think it’s great. BSI, that is, not the suicidal pit maneuver.”

2011 Infiniti M37/M56 – First Drive Review
Review by Car and Driver

“Among Infiniti’s goals in the M redesign was to smooth out and sharpen up the suspension. Owners have carped about Infiniti’s harsh ride, especially on cars equipped with sport suspensions and/or larger wheels. The changes underneath the M basically stiffen the links laterally for better corner tracking and body control while employing new bushings to help isolate bump frequencies. The result is a large sedan that moves fluidly through corners with well-connected steering—especially when equipped with the optional four-wheel-steering system—but remains quiet and vibration-free as a luxury car should.”

First Drive: 2011 Infiniti M37S and M56S answer many questions
Autoblog.com

“From the outside, there’s little question Infiniti has stepped up the M’s game in a major way. Drawing swoopy inspiration from the Essence concept, the new M is lower, wider and just a smidgen longer. Infiniti hammered home the point that the new car is the first Infiniti product to sport Essence-derived lines, but by no means will it be the last. They showed us a few pictures of the new QX56, and while we sadly can’t share them with you, please take our word for it that the new QX is world’s better looking than the frankly obscene old version.”
