For the 2011 model year, Infiniti has unveiled a fully redesigned M sport sedan that is hitting dealerships, carrying a sticker price of $47,085 for the M37 version with a V-6 engine, and $57,550 for the M56 model with a V-8.
There are also all-wheel-drive models: the M37x starts at $48,400, and the M56x at $60,050.
The M's prices have not gone up substantially even though it has more standard features.
The Beat recently got to take a look at and drive the new M at its unveiling in San Diego, including on some scenic twisty mountain roads just north of the Mexican border. And as if Infiniti were trying to emphasize the M's athletic ability, the base for each driving route was at the U.S. Olympic Training Center.
The M37 is quite an athlete. Its 330-horsepower, 3.7-liter engine is powerful and yet manages to get 18 mpg city, 26 highway.
The M56 would take the gold medal in a sprint, though, thanks to its 420 horsepower and 417 pounds-feet of torque. And it doesn't gulp much more than the V-6, rating at 17 city, 24 highway.
The M, which first came out in 2004, is a formidable competitor in the sedan market
