I own an 2004 E500 and love it so I am biased.
The M45 looks very good on paper. The G35 has delievered most of what was promised.
I have two concerns about the M45.
1. It isn't available until later this month so it is unproven.
2. Infiniti cars in the past have not kept their values in the resale market. Lexus, Acura, BMW, and MB have all out performed Infiniti in resale.
Today, I would go with the known commodity - the E500. Next year, who knows what would be the better choice.
Another thought. This market has a handful of competitors - E500, 545i., Lexus GS400(430), Lincoln LS V-8, Jaguar S-Type V-8, Audi A6, and the future M45.
They are all good cars. However, over time only two continue to shine above the rest - The MB and BMW.
