Never said I didn’t like your car or was a fanboi about joining a “club”. M doesn’t have an extended wheelbase option. Lots of other cars have those features too even the 5-series. Hell - my Denali had all of that stuff too, was definitely not in line with a Lexus RX or BMW X5/X6. I can tell you right now the “leather” in that Lexus is absolute trash compared to the BMW, Mercedes, or Audi. ---

I just use an air freshner. :lol. To me, it’s how they feel (most comfortable). I don’t care if it’s some high-tech fake leather…as long as it looks good (leather) and feel good when I sit in it (comfortability factor). ---

For instance the M45 fared well against the BMW 545i/550i, Acura RL, Mercedes-Benz E500/E550, and Lexus GS 430/450h. Reviewers cited the M35 and M45’s driving involvement and handling dynamics over the GS and E-Class while having superior egronomics than the 5 Series; furthermore the M was equipped and priced competitively against its German rivals.[[4]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiniti_M#cite_note-3)[[5]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiniti_M#cite_note-4)[[6]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiniti_M#cite_note-5), while the M35 also received strong reviews.[[7]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiniti_M#cite_note-6) Despite entering a very crowded, competitive segment in which almost every member has been recently redesigned, the M managed to claim several key distinctions.

The [Infiniti G](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiniti_G)37 sedan and coupe, competing in the entry-level luxury sport category, accounted for half of the marque’s sales as of 2009.[[11]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiniti_M#cite_note-Ulrich-10) Out of that year’s 81000 Infiniti cars sold, only 10000 were of the M nameplate.[[12]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiniti_M#cite_note-caranddriver.com-11) Furthermore, the 2009 update left M35 and M45 in awkward positions of the Infiniti lineup, as though they were the flagships of the marque, they were out-powered by the [VQ37VHR](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_VQ_engine#VHR_series) engines fitted in the [2009 G37 coupe and sedan](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiniti_G#Fourth_generation_.28V36.2C_2007.E2.80.93present.29). For that model year while the G Series received 7-speed automatic transmissions across the lineup, only the M35 RWD was upgraded to a 7-speed automatic while the rest of the nameplate retained the aging 5-speed automatic. I don’t know how I feel about the fourth gen model either, looks too much like a Maxima with 370Z wheels.

I never said it WAS dubbed as being in the ‘premium luxury line’. Or that it was Infiniti’s actual ‘premium luxury sedan’. I thought it was pretty clear that I was stating an opinion. Meaning, that it SHOULD be. But that’s just me. Doesn’t matter to me if you think it doesn’t belong in that class or not. I compared it against some of it’s higher competition before I bought it and decided to go with it. Frankly, the LS was just out of my price range :rofl. ---
