Review

The 2010 Infiniti M35 allows drivers to bridge the often cavernous gap between sports performance and luxury vehicles. The M35 is sophisticated, athletic, and as luxurious as any of its prestigious German rivals. The V6 powerplant packs over 300 horsepower, and the handling is arguably the best in the large luxury sedan class. Those used to the air-like rides of Lexus and other automakers may find the suspension a bit firm, but sports-car fanatics will love every second of it. Read on to see how the Infiniti M35 fared in our road test.

Improvements from the 2009 BMW M35
