Precio: 64.291 Euros Motor: V6, 3696cc. Potencia: 320cv a 7000rpm Par (Nm): 360Nm a 5200rpm Transmisión: 7-Vel. auto. Velocidad Máxima: 250Km/h 0-100Km/h: 6.2 segundos CO2: 235g/km Peso: 1765kg A la venta: Ya  What is it? Arguably there’s only one car maker that builds a direct rival for BMW’s signature front-engined, rear-wheel-drive models. Infiniti uses the same formula to impressive effect in its distinctive SUV models. Now Nissan’s boutique brand has finally launched the M-series saloon in Europe.  What’s it like? Although, on paper, this M37 is clearly aiming to match the 5-series, the execution and flavour of the Infiniti is very different. As you might expect from a car engineered in Japan, the M37’s driving position is first rate. The interior is immaculately finished and built with typical high-end Japanese precision.  However, the design language (based on ‘wind and waves’ and used inside and out) just lacks the measured dignity of the inside of today’s 5-series or E-class. The Infiniti’s profusion of silvered switches and centre console layout lean slightly too far towards the arcade aesthetic. Some individual pieces (such as the gear selector) are very finely executed, but other areas (the instrument dials and chassis selector) are rather plain and ordinary.  The exterior styling is, arguably, similarly lacking in the deeply polished elegance of the best that European premium cars can offer. Still, there’s not much arguing with the underskin execution. The V6 (appreciably shorter than the straight six in the 5-series) is tucked right back in the chassis, driving the rear wheels, through a seven-speed autobox. On this M37S Premium, the driver also gets the assistance of active four-wheel steer.  Using the three-position switch mounted on the centre console, the driver can dial up three very different characters. The Eco mode delivers a very long travel for the accelerator pedal and actively resists hard acceleration from the driver. A green light on the dash indicates suitably eco progress.  In Sport, however, this car really wants to motor. It’s extremely quick-witted, agile and thrusting, making good use of the motor’s sweet-spinning and pacey nature. The M37 also feels firmly planted and stable at high speeds. However, if there’s one criticism of the the M37’s Sport setting, it’s one of over-eagerness. It can over-exaggerate the driver’s inputs and, consequently, exaggerates the car’s outputs. When pressing on in the M37, particularly during high-speed overtaking manoeuvres, progress is touch frenetic.  The Standard setting is much less focused than Sport, with the car delivering a less direct response to steering inputs. Indeed, the whole car is much slower-witted in the way it responds to moving away from straight head. I was impressed by the four-wheel steering in Sport mode. Its response is extremely keen at lower speeds. Travelling around slow-speed corners the M37 really feels like it is centre pivoted.  At higher speeds, the 4WS allows the driver to easily run up to the tyres’ limit of adhesion. Pushing hard through bends, there’s no sense of understeer at all - though the sensations coming back through both the seat and wheel rim are rather distant and mechanical. The brakes are nicely powerful at their full extent and also easy to modulate under hard braking. The car’s ride was remarkably good, too, especially considering it was rolling on big 20in wheels.  Should I buy one? The question is whether you should buy one over a 5-serie, but in many ways the M37 is more of a Japanese Jaguar XF than a Beemer and it struggles in this respect. Where the Jaguar has a masterful maturity under pressure, the Infiniti is just that much more brittle and digital.  Fuente: http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/...mium-S/252990/ |

| Coincido. Veo un diseño muy forzado, metido a presión. Un 5er por ejemplo me parece mucho más equilibrado (no digamos ya un XF). Y luego está la manía de las japonesas de incluir muchísimo equipamiento, pero sin posibilidad de elección. |

| Pensaba que era el único que lo estaba pensando desde que ví que estaba por encima de los 60.000 € seguro que alguien por ahí estaba imaginando un S3 con todos los extra y los otros 4000 y pico euros para una mariscada para celebrar la compra |

Caro??? Infiniti M37 S Premium 3.7 de 320 cv...el equipamiento mas alto con el motor de gasolina, cambio automatico. Precio 64.200 € y hace el 0-100 por debajo de los 6 seg. http://www.km77.com/eli/motor/fichac...a.asp?id=29147 BMW 535i un 3.0 turbo 306 cv automatico 56.400 € y ahora empieza a meterle el equipamiento que lleva el infiniti. http://www.km77.com/eli/motor/fichac...a.asp?id=27568 Audi A6 4.2 FSI de 350 cv quattro triptronic precio 76.700 € y metele el equipamiento del infiniti. http://www.km77.com/eli/motor/fichac...a.asp?id=22917 Y siendo el Audi A6 un coche del 2004. Y para el Jaguar XF como para el MB Clase E , para tener un motor de + de 300 cv, tienes que pagar un dineral, como en el Audi. Se puede decir que es caro, respecto al Cadillac CTS sport luxury aut 3.6 V6 de de 311 cv que tiene un precio de 49.700 € http://www.km77.com/eli/motor/fichac...a.asp?id=19376 Entonces es caro???le veo igual que los rivales. Pero como le metas el mismo equipamiento que al resto de los rivales, es barato. (es lo bueno de tener un equipamiento cerrado, completo y encima "barato") Y ya he visto 2 Infiniti M 37. Y esteticamente es tremendo, se le ve musculoso y elegante. Y el motor suena de lujo (estando yo al otro lado de la calle me hizo girar..se nota que es un motor de Nissan) |
