Carlos Ghosn unveiled Nissan's luxury sedan, the Fuga, which goes on sale in Japan in November and in the U.S. next spring as the new Infiniti M. Showing little of the handsome Infiniti Essence coupe concept, the Fuga/M instead looks like the big sibling to the Infiniti G/Nissan Skyline. Side surfacing is much like the G's, and the very fast backlight ends in a Mercedes-esque taillamp treatment. Up front, the grille looks like it's from the Infiniti FX, shrunk to an appropriate car size. Inside, the center console protrudes more than any we've seen lately, and the rear seat is highly contoured, suggesting that a fifth passenger in the middle isn't a good idea. The M thus comes off as a larger-than-G 2+2 sedan. In the North American market, we'll have a choice of three powerplants, the base 3.7-liter V-6, a 5.6-liter V-8 or a 3.5-liter V-6/electric hybrid using lithium-ion batteries.
