  • Not fair, E550 is the base luxury model without the sport package while this M56 has the sport package.. you can't compare the handling of the two in this video..

  • @romoguy93 also true with the 550i test...

  • Consumer Reports can kiss my ass!!!!!!!!

  • If your looking for sports/good driving performance you should look for the e550 coupe

  • @samg9888 E550 is a great cruiser but it would not be able to keep up with a porsche cayman on a twisty road.

  • Thats not a 4Matic. I have one and its 4Matic and trust me it scares the shit out of you!!!

  • That was the 2010 e 550 the 2011 is alot better. It proably would have beat the m56.

  • @pranildagangsta HAH. i have worked for Lexus infiniti & mercedes as a salesman and if you think Japanese cars are more reliable than German cars, you need to think again because Japanese reliability is just going down hill lately however german will always be reliable. sure japanese cars are more fairly priced however you really can see the differences when you work with cars all the time. japanese are relaible for the 1st 30 - 40,000 miles but after that they are crap. you get what you pay for

  • @CoolVideoz515 I diddnt say anthing about japenese cars.

  • @CoolVideoz515 That's funny because Consumer Reports gave better ratings on almost every Lexus/Infiniti model than Mercedes Benz when it comes to reliablity.

  • @350zmt06 i actually meant to address my first message to a different person. my b

  • What is INFINITY? A Song of George Michael?

    Mercedes? The best auto brand in the world

  • the m is so sleek and futuristic looking

  • I love merc but who ever thinks merc outclass infitniti by quality and reliability is plain retarded.

  • im sorry i dont do slaloms every day

  • I like both Benz and Infiniti, but I think the M56 is the clear winner here :)!

  • hahha...its obvious.. there's nothing to do with other model,just between these two . winner just keep quite. looser please present your excuse ...as usual =)

  • I learned so much reading these comments.

  • numbers don't win battles

  • infiniti sounds good

    

  • this video's full of surprises.. And now i have a new respect for infiniti

  • this infiniti is cheaper than a porsche panamera 4S WITH 400hp and the infiniti has 20 morehp for 60,000$ and the panamera is in six figures already -_-

  • The front of the Infiniti looks pumped up.

  • Thumbs up for the Mercedes-Benz!

  • @mitchellongwei fail.

  • @thePS3only Yeah i know, no one likes benz :(

  • @mitchellongwei More people love tunners than luxury, I'm a tunner

  • @thePS3only yeah, tuners handling are mad grippy.

  • @mitchellongwei some of them but mostly they have sexy ass sounds and fun and joy to ride then.

  • @thePS3only Yeah they do sound sexy

  • @mitchellongwei alot more funnnn

  • @thePS3only Yeah some of them, but Germans do show good results too 

  • @mitchellongwei Germans are mostly luxury not much of tunners

  • @mitchellongwei I do, AMG is outrageous. I raced a E500 AMG with my STI. I blasted him from a dig but from a roll, awesome Benz. That big car stayed neck and neck

  • @MrStlover99 Wow, an E500 gets from 0-60 in 5.2 seconds! Your STI is really fast I must say, why not try getting an E63 AMG, it does naught to 60 in just 4.4 seconds.

  • @mitchellongwei I tried to get him to do a dead stop race but we did roll start. I would try a E63 from a roll. I would from a stop though

  • @MrStlover99 a stop is better mate, but the car feels really heavy at the start, compared to an M5

  • did you see how infiniti bounced when breaking to full stop and mercedes not? that's the quality of german engineering.such suspension gives a car more stability on the road.

  • @korencek You can say what ever you want but Infiniti and Mercedes Benz are now partners, what ever you critisize is contradicting yourself. Infiniti will be getting AMG engines for thier IPL line up and Mercedes will be using hybrid technology from Infiniti. Its the worlds first mix breed of Japanese and german enginereeing, more like a Lion & a Cheetah has sex =)

  • @korencek Wtf are you talking about? The Infiniti and the Benz both squatted under heavy braking and then rebounded at full stop. The Infiniti stopped in 13 feet shorter. Seems like the Benz is the one lacking quality...

  • Mercedes has been using the same engines for years they need to update .

  • Infiniti has been kicking some ass lately. I love how they can make a car that outperforms a Mercedes in every test shown here and do it for a lot less money

  • Fuck infiniti 

  • @335ipower11 Cool..... next!

  • @335ipower11 u mad?

  • I love the infinities. My dad has an 2008 G35x and its so calm and luxurious and I love how it looks like an average family sedan, but it has an insane amount of power to boot. Every infinity goes off of that style. In my opinion I love them.

  • The Infinite is faster handles better looks nicer in my opinion

    the only thing i like about Mercedes is the badge

  • i love both cars but i just bought a infiniti and its alll sick

  • Its a MERCEDES-BENZ now GTFO please

  • The M56 looks way better nd performes better. Nd is alot heavier.

  • Nd some mercedes will have sentra engines

  • The M56 IPL. Will have an. AMG engine

  • i like the new m, it also has a higher quality interior by far..

  • Dont pick the benz just cause its a benz. Infiniti has been a strong player in the market. Better technology, comfort, and engines for your money.

  • @yoboy63 Valet and women will both respond better to "I drive a Benz" opposed to "I drive a Nissan..I mean Infiniti"

  • FUCK INFINITI 

  • I would like to see the same comparison but with MB E class in sport p. and updated new Turbo V8. 4.7L :) I take Merc because Infi. doesn't have a star on the hood:)

  • If it's my own money, I would happily take the merc. Three-pointed star and everything else is down under.

  • not to mention AMG lol.........

  • How about heated and cooled seats vs. just heated in the benz and 4 wheel active steer vs conventional, inside-the -box cookie-cutter 2 wheel. the full written review has many lies...

  • the written review lies. They said Infiiti has no way to control ride quality, like the little button on the wheel of the benz. Is there not a knob that has snow, normal, eco, and sport settings???

  • @JBBlueConverse That would be throttle sensitivity, not ride quality.

  • Infiniti is better solution... He is obviosly faster and more beautiful...

  • S>M>E

  • i would take the benz

  • mercedes benz is still better

    

  • The Benz has gotten might ugly!

    Why did the M56 get 67 through the slalom here, but 63 through the slalom when tested separately? Both had the upgraded wheels and tires

  • The merc looks great but it did so badly

  • infiniti is so ugly :D

  • It's ironic that Infiniti beated MB in performance yet it has to depend on its rival for its engines. Ultimately, its rival is the winner as it's the source.

  • @unknownunknowns You have to remember that its AMG that is going to be suppling engines, not MB is itself. But I don't think we'll be seeing a 6.2L M156 V8 or Twin-Turbo AMG V-12/V8 in a Infiniti..

  • Comment removed

  • This is such a hard video to watch.. I am a HUGE, I mean, HUGE fan of both Mercedes-Benz and Nissan, therefore of Infiniti too. I LOVE both the E-Class and the M56 and I think both are outstanding cars, id love to own any of the two. Obviously the M56 is better in the track but id have to see how each car feels to truly know. Anyway, as I said, both brands are awesome, and I hate people hating in either one. GO BENZ, GO NISSAN (INFINITI)!!!!!!!!!

  • Infinity = to Pure luxury except it's Jap

    Mercedes = Expensive thirsty ugly interiored sports sedan but German

    Which one would you pick?

  • @Skampo1119 Like I said in my comment below, this is such a tough choice. I love both brands and both cars, id have a hard time picking one of these two cars.

  • This is a Luxury package Benz. Means no AMG wheels (standard normally on E550)

  • Fontana beautiful? The only nice view is the sight of a big rig parked infront of sombodies house.

  • Fontana beautiful? The only nice view is the sight of a big parked infront of sombodies house.

  • Who designed that M56 ? How do these people get hired ? Just hideous.

  • @rg0r its not hideous.

    its a different taste-

    being different does not make it ugly.

    what about the benz and its plain angular styling?

    the cts looks way better because it goes all out at that.

    but this benz looks like 80% angles, 20%-not quite sure?

    i think the flowing curves of nissans infiniti division look better.

  • E 63 . . .  Enough said.

  • @Toyota4Life cadillac cts-v... nuff said.

    (faster in every way)

    (also cheaper)

  • @TheNondiscriminatory and will break down sooner cuz its a damn cadillac

  • @Toyota4Life Actually it's not enough said. Not even close. Isn't the E63 an AMG version?

  • @ambientflier Yes it is.. and if their going to throw the BEST SPEC'D M into a comparison why not Math it with the BEST SPEC'D E-Class ? 

    Not a fair comparison when they have a base Benz with non sport package against the sport spec'd Infiiniti. The infiniti had all the bells and whistles the Benz didnt.

  • @Toyota4Life Um...price??? It's not Infiniti's fault that Mercedes cars are so overpriced that you can get a fully loaded M56 for the price of a base benz. Comparing the AMG to this car would be ridiculous.

  • @Toyota4Life This isn't a base Benz, the base would be an E350. This is a fair comparison.

  • I think it would be fairer to compare the M56 to a Benz with a sport package, sport tires and the new 4.6TT V8.

  • The new Mercedes E class looks like complete horseshit compared to the model it replaced.... Even the Infiniti with its largely exaggerated proportions and body styling looks a ton better.

  • So basically the Infiniti won in every single test at the track but still lost the comparison. That sounds reasonable. And this is a test of midsize "SPORT" sedans. Please.

  • the mercedes has the most ugly interior ever!

  • i think that this is an unfair comparison since the benz is more luxury and and the infiniti is more sporty

  • @unclezarashka Did u know the Benz was declared overall winner?

  • Let me ask the obvious, why wasn't the E550 equipped with a sport package like the M56??

    Shitty comparison.

  • Did this dude say beautiful Fontana lol???

  • M56 all the way.

  • Thumbs up for the Infiniti!

  • @AmazingAipom i suggest you wash your eyes and wear new glasses .. they're not even remotely close .. so, how can u possibly suggest that infiniti copied merc ?

    not the exterior .. not the interior .. not even how the engine works .. not even the stupid day LED lights that merc has ..

    "it tried" he said ..

  • @sambinoven The Merc is pure-Secks....... the Datsun is pure Plastic....

    125 years of quality, invention and heritage vs. a couple decades of minor shallow achievements...

    Get real bro, Mercedes is best.

  • @Howie262 benz has never been know for quality...lol.. craftsmanship yes...its funny you would think after 125 years they would know how to make a reliable car but they dont. and the only achievement benz has had rencently is loosing the title of best selling lux car to lexus in the us and bmw and audi world wide.

  • @markechio 1st of all bro, You Mad?

    Why you mad tho?

    anyways...

    By your logic, because Justin Bieber sells the most records = he therefore has the most talent and you love him.

    Id love to argue with you bro, just how i pwn all these rice kids on Youtube...

    but i could care less about what you think about the greatest car manufacture in history..

    Btw Mercedes still has the highest consumer reports of any German company, besides porsche which has close to perfect 5 stars...

    Both fromStuttgart

  • @Howie262 im glad u think daimler is so great.....but if they were so great they wouldnt need to team up with nissan, but they did...study other cars other then mercedes and you will lear quickly that they arnt so great, and quickly falling behind. what can mercedes do that nissan or infinfiti can do, and isnt doing....naw im not upset at all .....if this was 15 or 20 years ago your statement about benz and german cars would be correct... times change as do leaders

  • @markechio Name something the Infinity has done before Mercedes......

    the truth is that Mercedes has done it all, the Japanese can only improve upon what the Germans have already paved the pathway for.......

    If you dont have respect for Mercedes, the inventor of practically everything on the car and the car itself. then its you sir..... who should look at history.

    infinity is largely an American brand, not a japanese one by the way.

  • @Howie262 Um have you ever driven an Infinti M56 and or a Mercedes E550? Well I have and I have owned both of them aswell. And i can say i would proudly choose the infiniti over the Merc. Because the Infiniti has new technologies and specs, while the Merceds has the old technology and spec that you found in the previous generation but its just had minor upgrades :L. js.

  • @CalvySkux With your poor English speaking, i highly doubt you've even owned any mercedes in your life...

    keep lying to yourself bro.

  • @Howie262 Um I live in Dubai. So English is my second language. And i have owned both. SO go fuck ya self cunt. kbye

  • @Howie262 it doesn't matter who did it first but what matters is who does it best..... we cant keep looking at what they did but must focus on what they are doing..... they are falling behind

  • @Howie262 if infiniti/nissan had nothing to offer then Daimler wouldn't be in partnership with them...Benz day has past

  • Respond to this video... the biggest thing that infifniti has done before benz is reliability. infiniti has made a cars that are alot more reliable then benz cars

  • @markechio That research you're talking about Mercedes and Nissan is probably largely the Rear mounted Gear box. Which yes the Nissan GTR was the first to have it, but soon after the SLS Amg Gulwing had it. So im shure that was definably a Joint Mercedes/Nissan enterprise just how the GTR has many European origins in it....

    Mercedes "Falling behind "

    get real guy,

    FACT : Most powerful Normal Aspirated v8 in the world..... = Mercedes AMG 6.2 v8 hand built 570 hp

  • @Howie262 And i would just like to say the GTR does not contain any Euro orgins in it. Because it took over 8 years to develop and It is rebuilding from the classinc R32 GTR Godzilla. SO YOU go learn your facts.

  • @CalvySkux Ok, guy i could care less if you dont like to interpret reality...... lol

    more power to me ha....

    word of advice...... the GTR does actually have European engineering....

    for just one.... Lotus designed it's Chassis

    see ya guy.

  • @Howie262 engineering in all cars come across all borders....plus you have to remember that Nissan is in an alliance with Renault and they have ties with lotus as well .......hey does your mighty Benz event have a car that hits 60 under 3 seconds ???........right

  • @CalvySkux 1st speak English better.........

    2, you're wrong, Lotus developed the Chassis for the GTR

    Among Other things......

    anyways, i dont have time to argue about what you can google dude....

    get lost.

  • @Howie262 its great that they have been around so long, but honestly who cares about what they did in the past, its all about what they are doing now, and what they are doing now is falling behind. also datson aka nissan has roots just like benz and the go all the way back to 1915 or 1915 ..i forgot....also benz must think alot of nissan cuz the rencently announced a partnership where they will be sharing engines and platforms .....

  • @markechio Sounds fabulous.....

    however the honor is surely Nissan's being that Mercedes is the inventor of everything on the car....

  • @Howie262 The current E-class is a pretty pathetic show for 125 years. 

  • @Slimecrazy234 You're totally right dude.......

    a Base model Mercedes Vs. the Best Infinity has to offer........

    Get real. Theres a whole slue of Better Mercedes out there, however......... this is Infinities BEST.... attempt @ the luxury market.....

    so whos the Failure?

    stay mad @ me guy, please its funny....

    while you're at it go back to your 1 bedroom apartment and play xbox.

    good bye.

  • @Howie262 I'm not an Infiniti fan so try again. The E-class is bested by pretty much every other entry in the segment in everything from quietness to handling and acceleration and it's still among the most expensive. In virtually all measurable parameters it is at the bottom of the class. If it had an Infiniti badge the press and you would be killing it as an overpriced and underwhelming car.

  • @Slimecrazy234 .1 secont 0-60 is not a good argument dude.

    Im gunna let my comment ratings speak for themselves.....

    The japanese have always been about one-upping the Germans, never coming up with new ideas..... just slightly making them better.

    Example......

    M56 vs E55 ......... lol, putting that extra 6 in front of the 5 believe it or not is a business psychology.

    Get real dude, sometimes i just laugh @ this shit,

    bottom line, this is Infinities BEST attempt....

    Mercedes is regular.....

  • @Howie262 datsun roots go back about 100 years

  • @markechio not as a prestigious history as mercedes, fact.

  • @Howie262 Infiniti is pure sports sedan..... benz is pure swag

    infiniti: best performance, price, quality, reliability

    benz: just for swag, image, overpriced

  • @Frickitt No you're thinking of BMW, (Best performance)

    And actually Mercedes has fabulous build quality and reliability...... check JD powers, dont believe me bro.

    BTW this is a base e class....... you could go AMG and destroy a Infinity in every category.....

    so please stay mad,

    German-Engineering > japan plastic.

  • @Howie262 Both the Mercedes E-Class and Infiniti M are great cars however I would have to agree with "Frickitt". Keeping AMG out of the equation, the E-class is actually the least fun to drive compared to its upstart rivals like the BMW 5 series and Infiniti M. The E-class is a great luxury sedan and it should be appreciated for what it is, a defined and well rounded manufacturer with opulence as its prime characteristic. The M56 is on par and truthfully a better performer.

  • @Howie262 German cars are nice. But Japanese cars have a better design that is both elegant and charming. And also Japanese cars are much more fairly priced and offer more value.

  • @Frickitt Not to mentioned Japanese cars are more reliable than German cars.

  • @faYte0607

    errr i dont think so >___>

    I think german cars are built for safety and quality where as asian cars are more cost efficient and focus less on the quality instead

  • @skater21 LOL so is a Volkswagen Audi or a Toyota Lexus, your point is?? No one cares where they originated from, point is the M56 is clearly the more powerful and better competitor in this segment. Mercedes just offers a reputation, and last time I checked I was buying a car not a badge. The Infiniti M class offers alot more then the E-class in terms of standards. The new M recieved the most cross shoppers for any luxury midsized vehicle in this market, those BMW and MB owners are trading in.

  • infinity sound like a muscle car

  • Merc just sux .. thats a fact .. only the Euro plant(s) makes good merc's .. other plants scattered around the globe produce shyt cars with shyt interior and engines.

    Infiniti is more stable.. costs a HELL less than the merc over 5 years .

  • same problems with vw here in y county , in euro the vw quality is first class but here in my country import them vw from mexico vw made in mexico are the worst quality evr see intrior dash broke in 2 year

  • The Benz's brakes are less prone to fade...

  • stupid comparison. the e class had the luxury trim and not the sport trim, which wouldve made a big difference in the handling department because of high performance tires.

  • My father had a 2005 M45, just sold it, and got the M56. Really, really quick car.

    But ask ANYONE who has driven one, the pedal feel is just plain awful. SUCH a deatched feeling.

    You can never reaaaally tell when the brakes will engage, but when they finally do, you'll screech to a halt and it will scare the living shit out of you.

    Make sure you have a lid on your soda, cause it'll end up all over the center console if you don't.

  • infiniti for me

  • @sambinoven You stupid prick! :D

  • @Enes063 i R not :P

  • your infiniti g35 looks like shit only after 5 years.. im a mechanic and a lot of the 2003 infiniti interior look like garbage. today i did a emission test on a 2007 g35 and the door panel was loose. haha btw mercedes helped nissan they work together if you idiots didnt know. Mercedes dont compete.

  • benz lose in all the numbers bbreak skippad roadholiding acceleration ifyou think infnty is nissan ha well nissan make somting better than benz. i have seen people with serveral problem aith benz wtih the key and interior acceries benz is fucking dump you paid for the namee not for the quality. i have a g35 since 2003 no problem.

  • @kompleti i've had 2 nissans and both of them had a fucked up transmission, andhad electrical problems

  • @kompleti you also speak like a typical Nissan owner, of say...a Silvia. Go learn to speak english, then you'll learn what a real car is.

  • @Mcmerc01 i write to fast but you understand yes i owner a g35 bttr than this ugly mb

  • @kompleti No you don't write too fast, I'm typing fast, and I'm touch typing YET I can still use proper grammar, you can't. And your idea of the difference between a good and a bad car is pretty dumb minded. So just go read a book. Mercedes-Benz- creator of the automobile, producer of arguably the world's best cars. Infinity- a luxury brand of NIssan basically only focusing on the United states solely beginning to compete with other premium japanese brands such as Acura. Get your facts right

  • @Mcmerc01 you can say watevr you want but in my country lots of benz have problems and the interior is bad thats wy i talk like that but not all benz come from euro thats wy i think some benz are shittt

  • bensz is fucking dump ass ugly ass hella hahaha look at the m56 20 inch wheels shine all the way th m56 looks stong more robust

  • @kompleti dude the M56 looks like a fucking pig! i would the the bens

  • i loooove how infiniti bounces at 60-0 test

  • The benz is uglier, slower, less sporty, more floppy and the infiniti prob costs less in maintenance and reliability.

  • Benz is waaay better!

  • Benz for me :=)

  • Infinity is yesterday's Hyundai...

    Mercedes is a tradition...

  • @E60BMWM5 - The difference?

    Everytime you see a Merc driver you think... SNOB.

  • @NvdWesthuizen Every time you see Infinity you think Nissan... When you think Nissan you remember legendary Nissan Sunny LOL.

    Look at the automotive history you see MERCEDES-BENZ

    Inovations..........

    - ABS

    - Traction control

    - Air bags

    - Active seat belts

    - Stability control

    - Break assist

    If money is no object you buy Mercedes. If you don't have money or don't want to spend that much for a car than you buy something close to it like Infinity, Lexus etc.

  • @E60BMWM5 Wow your statement below was so Pointless. Break assist?? Air bags?? Traction control?? Im no genius but Im pretty sure every car now comes standard with these features, Mercedes is not exclusive to them, wether or not they invented it is irrelevant, had you siad blind spot intervention, around view monitor, lane departure warning or saftey features uncommon to other cars that would have been more reasonable, Infiniti offers just that, & its not cheaper, they are just a better value

  • @Johncarson9113

    Mercedes has lots innovations, built quality and reliability in its history that is part of the reason they are bought by many not because people are trying to be snob..

    Infinity/Nissan has Nissan Sunny in its "rich" history... If money is NOT the issue and you are still choosing Infinity cars than there is something wrong with your decision.

  • Comment removed

  • @E60BMWM5 Its called preference, many people are entitled to it, are they not? Lets say Im shopping for a supercar, my choices are the Lexus LFA at $375K or the Mercedes SLS AMG at $183K, clearly if money was not an object I could opt for the LFA right? But why would I when can get the Mercedes SLS for a fraction of the cost with a longer history of performance engines over Lexus, having access to unlimited funds does not make the more expensive car the better one. I happen to like Infiniti =)

  • Comment removed

  • The E550 looks so dated compared to the M56.

  • the m56 is the strongest most powerful M that is coming out so take the strongest most powerful E class that comes out the E63 amg and then we can discuss ;)

  • @jikotiko That comparison wouldn't make sense since E63 is about $30k more than M56. Now if you put $30k of mod of into M56, then we have a match.

  • Isn't the M56 standard AWD? Shouldn't they have compared a E550 4matic with it then?

  • @JohnRhysMusician The M56-X is the all wheel drive variant,unless it's an X model which this one isn't this is a very fair comarison...

  • Compare that NIssan against a car that is trying to achieve the same performance target like the new BMW 550. Then we will see the results.

  • its more appropriate to compare benz with a lexus and bmw with infiniti.

  • Imo M56 has a more luxurious interior. M56 Any Day!
