ROUND 1: INFINITI

Imagine what the M45 would do to the poor RL

They're family sedans

Huh? You think that 5-Series is a "family sedan" too? The Camry is a family sedan. The Accord is a family sedan. Theses are not "family sedans"

 

[Random Variable]

The magazine summarized that the Legend is a technologically advanced luxury car, where-as the 350GT is a drivers car capable of dethroning the BMW 5-Series.

Then what the heck is the point of comparing the two?

Because they are in the same price range and direct competitors?

Didn't even catch that :Q

The real question is whether it will succeed like the G or flop like the current M/Q.

 

[KingNothing]

The new M45 is better from every angle except the back. God that's ugly.

 

[kermalou]

the M never flopped, it was never promoted to flop.

It's repost police:

But anyway these are simply performance numbers. People who are going to get an RL will not care so much about 0-60 times and even less so about lap times.

RL still looks tons better.

RL=old people car

 

[UNCjigga]

Its so nice to have choices! Personally I wouldn't mind either one in my driveway. While it seems the OMG! WTF! 300HP!!! V6 is no match for the true blue VQ, the article *did* say that SH-AWD made the Acura a better handling car. So it seems the debate of RWD vs. SH-AWD in a big-assed sedan is a draw. Now all Acc needs is a real engine.

The M doesnt look that great in person.

I saw a silver one last week and was wondering if it was the same car that are in some of those awesome pictures. Maybe its just the silver.

Could have been the non-sport model.

 

[Aharami]

even though the RL looks better and is more technologically advanced....i'd have to pick the M45 since I will be the one DRIVING my car

 

[NFS4]

The RL looks so old and boring that even Motor Trend mistook it for something else...

Look at the filename of the Acura RL pic. It DOES look like an Accord though...and a cheap one at that.

I lvoe them both, but I cannot stop loving the RL Now, if Nissan were to pair the M up with a manual transmission....MMmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'd definitly switch sides
