I’d go Infiniti. Living with a late model Japanese Car \>\>\>\> Living with an older bimmer. The Volvo’s certainly nice too. I’d just prefer the Infiniti.
This is quite a step up over a 15 year old Buick. Must be one hell of a job you have lined up. :tup:

> If you look at the basic specs of the three cars, they are all pretty much the same mileage wise, and front what I can tell after sitting in all of them except the M45, comfort too. But I would guess that the BMW is going to out handle the Volvo, and definitely the M45.
> I dont know what your preference is on transmission, but all of these cars (minus the M45) can be had with a 6 speed or an automatic.
> I threw the Audi A6 2.7T in since thats in the same class pretty much, and might be another good choice.

I have been going by [edmunds.com](http://edmunds.com) stats for a while now, I am not really too sure how accurate [fueleconomy.gov](http://fueleconomy.gov) is. They say my Camry gets 17 and 24 when I avg. 25. And I am not really a conservative driver.

[fueleconomy.gov](http://fueleconomy.gov) has really low MPG ratings because they have everything adjusted for the new epa standards

infinity is so pimp, the cars are soo soo nice. my buddy had an 03 G35 and it was just so nice, god damn i want one now
get the m45 they are pimp as fuck, and you dont see many, and when u do see one cruising around i bet u stop and look at it.
volvo’s are for old ladies dont do it…
