Roadfly.com - 2011 Infiniti M56 Road Test & Review

Beautifully sleek and curvaceous, the 2011 Infiniti M56 is an exciting and luxurious ride. Infiniti has lengthened this year's models dimensions, increasing the length, height and width overall. Its new powerful engine and flowing redesign are all intact from the 2010 model as well. Roadfly TV and host Ross Rapoport took a good look at the M56 and they were very impressed.

Under the hood the Infiniti boasts some true and surprising power. The M56 has a 5.6-liter V8 engine that produces 420 horsepower and gets 417 pound-feet of torque. This impressive feat lets the M get to 60 mph in a time of roughly 4.9 seconds. The seven-speed automatic transmission is flawless, shifting gears with a fluid ease, making great use out of all 420 horses.

Inside, the Infiniti shines. The dash and interior materials are made from Japanese ash wood, giving a the M56 a unique and timeless aesthetic. Comfortability and luxury are not a problem here.

Altogether the Infiniti M56, sold as the Nissan Fuga in Japan, is a seductive competitor to such European hallmarks as the BMW 5-Series or the Mercedes-Benz E550 and is hot on their heels in terms of desirability and driving enthusiasm. Drivers seeking a classy and distinguished alternative to the European market would do well to take a close look at the M56.

@dtaylorxdm I have a request in for a G37 6MT IPL (Infiniti Performance Line). There aren't any in the mid-Atlantic press fleet at the moment but we'll get one as soon as we can.

That car is massive, as if it's going to gobble up the reviewer.

@cooperunionstud Didn't know SUV = CAR. I don't enjoy the truck like handling of suv's hence my fondness of cars. The obvious does not elude me. If I really want a tall persons car, I should just get a Maybach right ? lol

@sleepersown if you wanna a tall persons car. you should get a american SUV

Electronics tend to be short lived, so they will fail long before the car does.

@acvwest1 The Infiniti G Series needs a complete redesign now. It was already refreshed for 2010 (sedan) and 2011 (coupe and convertible). The G should be redesigned for 2013 model year to compete with the all new 2012 BMW 3 Series.

holy shit that guys short.. the car looks crazy big. Although when I watched the cnet review, it looked just adequate enough to fit a tall guy ( like me as i'm 6'6" ). Then again, the cnet guy probably didn't have his seat adjusted in a real comfy position like I have to do most cars.
