What's New for the 2006 Infiniti M?
The 2006 Infiniti M is all new this year, blending luxury appointments with engaging performance. Engine choices include a 280-horsepower V6 or a 335-horsepower V8, and both come bolted to a five-speed automatic transmission. All 2006 Infiniti M models come with leather seats, Intelligent Key with push-button ignition, voice recognition technology, Bluetooth communications, an in-dash 6-disc CD changer with MP3 capability, a vehicle information center, and an advanced airbag system. Outside, there's a sexy new skin, capped on the ends by crystalline headlamp clusters and LED tail lamps. Safety features include side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags, and an optional lane departure warning system. Advantages of the 2006 Infiniti M:
- Muscular 330-horsepower V8 option
- Quiet cabin
- Optional lane departure system
- Chock-full of luxury amenities
Objections to the 2006 Infiniti M: - Fussy stereo and climate control ergonomics
Editor's Advice:
Infiniti takes a bold approach with its new M, blending the luxury appointments for which former M-models were known with the spice and style of its sporty G35. V6-powered M35 models offer a balance between sport and economy, while the M45 V8 variants provide the satisfaction of extra grunt when the accelerator is depressed. We're impressed with Infiniti's all-wheel-drive system, and can't wait to sample the active rear steering on the Sport models. Given its sleek new skin, larger interior accommodations, and selection of electronic doo-dads, the 2006 Infiniti M makes a compelling choice over many of its mid-luxury competitors.
