Even with adding daytime running lights, I think it will be worth buying a 2008 M45x in Buffalo. The short drive from Toronto will be worth more than the $10K example above used for the M35x.

IMO you can keep your Daytime Running Lights. There are very few times I would want them on. In fact, on my '03 BMW I had the dealer turn them off. With the newer Bimmers you can turn them on/off yourself through the onboard computer.
 
I'm really interested in an M, probably the M35x and test drive one every year. I just can't warm up enough to it to "pull the trigger." The price is right, but it just doesn't all come together.

You're missing the point, in Canada, they are required on a new car. There is no choice whether you want them or not. If he purchased a car in the USA, he'd have to bring it up to Canadian specs to register it. You'd have to do the same thing if you bought a car out of the country that wasn't already certified for US delivery even if the model was available in the US, the changeover could be a significant cost, depending on what was required. There may be more that is different between the Canadian and USA requirements of the car as well.

Wow, That's pretty sad! I guess you don't understand and ultimetly realize that buying Lexus or BMW you pay a lot more for the name to begin with. Second, let's start with BMW- yes, it's a great handleling car, performance and involvement! But think of that- it's being more than 10 yrs. they haven't change the silly orange dashboard dials, interior is so poor, that a Saturn Aura is a much more luxurious in inside than any BMW! have you notice the cup holders that they have put in? Imagine your g/friend or wife riding in the passenger side drinking a hot drink and you are driving on a curvy road, trust me she will be a lot more pissed-off for the spilling of her drink in the Bimmer than the gas millage in the Infiniti. The battery is stored in the trunk. You get rear ended, good luck to you buddy! At the end the price premium that you will be paying it will make you regret your decision!
Lexus....oh this wanna be! Of course you get a plush ride, great service and realibility,except on the GS series ( a lot of problems- body integrity, sounds system, ruttles). Honestly, if I am 80 yrs. old I would consider a Lexus and or Cadillac. This are the most boring cars on the road today, period!
So, that being said I want to remind you that Infiniti has the Best technology in the industry! In what car can you voice command the nav. the radio the CD and in the '08 download music- up to 3,000 songs (Lexus LS is only 2,00 and the new C class M-B is a little less). Do you know that you can say a buisenes phone # and it will find you the address alon with the Point of Interests! All that for a lot less than any other competitor!
I owned M-B's, Lexus, Acura, Porsche- Infiniti is by far the leader in innovation, technology, performance, attention to detail and Value. And please, don't buy a luxury car for the gas millage only ( the E320 Bluetech is your best choice for that, not Lexus shitty hybrids), look at the overall aspects!
If you still have doubts, contact me....
Cheers!!!

Here is your answer.... The '08 M will have all the technology that you can find in the G sedan and the new G coupe. XM will be the only available sat. radio because of the nav. traffic. From now on Infiniti cars will only have XM, no more Sirious. The looks of the '08 M are a lot more aggressive mainly in the Sport package ( no more sport line... it will be better for the lease especially). Infiniti has too many engines from the previous generation, so this is the reason why no HP changes for next yr. model.
Now, read carefully. in '09 there will be an M50 at around 380 HP. So, for those who have a lease about to end you can get a short term new lease ( 21-24 months, don't forget you can always do early term. 6 months before the end of the term).

bege,
 
Do you have any insights into:
 
Will the M50 be available in AWD as an M50x?
 
Will there be a new engine for the V-6 car? The one in the current M35x is a generation behind what they have in the G35x.
 
Will there be any changes in the auto transmission, such as additional number of speeds?
 
Thanks
Bruce

As far as AWD on the future M50 I am not sure. There will be as soon as fall of next year revised HP on the M35. Most likely will get the 306 HP from the G sedan along with revised Rev-matching most likely 5 speed trany, which will work much better than the curent one.

Well folks - today's the big day! - US/CAN dollar at par. Now go to the Infiniti Canada website and configure an M45 Sport - $75,000. Now go the the main US site and configure the EXACT SAME CAR - $54,000. NO DUTIES. So my friends....does the certification 'issue' amount to $20,000 of gravy (that's USD OR CAD nowadays) for those robber Canadian dealerships? (PS - Freight from Buffalo - $750, from Toronto $1650 - and these cars come from Asia - that last 50 miles across the bridge just cost us Canadian suckers about $1000, when the gas to Buffalo is about $25).

Infiniti Canada - do the right thing - price the same in Canada as the USA by love2drive1

Dear Infiniti Canada ( and the Head Office executives of the other car companies that read these posts)
 
You have seen the trend and you know the momentum is for a stronger Canadian dollar, so now is the time to at least price the same in Canada as the USA.
 
Pricing 42% more in Canada is wrong.
> easy to see on www.infiniti.ca and www.infiniti.com
> M45 $73,400 in Canada versus $50,550 in USA
> this $22,850 difference is in after tax dollars. Even at a 35% tax rate, a Canadian has to make almost $31,000 just to pay for the difference.
 
As you have yet to release and post your 2008 prices, here is your chance to fix the pricing and show you are a good corporate citizen.

The sad fact is that this isn't only an "Infiniti" issue - remember that Honda Canada (Acura) juiced the 2006 RL by over $15,000 and had to announced 'better' pricing last year (they gave the intellectually-challenged considering this model back only $5K) - yes, there are 'inconveniences' like paperwork and inspection appointments(consultants on the web will do it all for you for $500), and maybe your make/model is one of the few that still attract import duty, but NONE OF THAT AMOUNTS TO AN AVERAGE OF $10,000-$20,000 PRICE DIFFERENCE ON A LUXURY PURCHASE (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti). The real deals (if you can stomach it - would be on the few NA cars that one might consider, like (shudder) Cadillac). And remember that the "CANADIAN DEALER DISEASE" (they will pay anything - shear'em) means that the bordertown US dealers may do better on purchase price in the first place.
