jeez no crew and he can still be bothered to go all the way down there to shoot this video all by himself that is dedication to you craft well done good sir
@keithrig ...Well they say the M56 starts at a price point of $60,000, but its actually the M56x AWD that starts at $60,000 and can range up to $75,000 fully equipped. In general the M56 actually prices at $57,550 in order to drive off the lot with one. There are two models of the M56 as you may know, the M56 and M56x AWD as well as 2 models of the M37, the M37 and M37X AWD
@jrs89 the e92 M3s engine isn't meant to be fuel effeminate. when an engine with more then 4 cylinders outputs more then 100 hp per liter without forced induction you'd be luck to even hit 20 mpgs
4wheel active steer doesnt help in the corners unless your taking a corner at like 100km/h. 4 wheel active steer changed the angle of the rear wheels by a max of 1 degree in whichever direction your turning. Its only noticable at highway speeds, not at the idle speed turn he showed.
Gave ya the like cause ya put in the effort, but then you said you were driving the S model.... As I'm looking at the missing paddle shifters, and base model seats... Good vid otherwise
Too much about New York, the weather and personal statements of likes and dislikes. Nothing is here that isn't already public record and knowledge. The power is better than all non-aspirated competitors, including the latest from Porche (Panamera), Jaguar (XF & XJ) Maseratti (Quattroporte), BMW (7 & 5 series), Mercedes (E & S) Lexus (GS & LS), etc.
Well I give a g37s and dont get me wrong I love my g37s but buying an infiniti that is worth like 70k is just stupid. With that kind of money i rather buy a bmw or a mercedes
A successful solo mission. Great video JF! Question to anyone, would you get the Infiniti M, Lexus LS, or Acura RL? (just keeping it between the Japanese luxury vehicles)
really liked the review and found it very informative. but you should have said M3 instead of M5. M5 has ~500 BHP so of course this Infiniti doesn't measure up, but the M3 has ~420 so it would have been a better comparison.
@ganee6a If you mean "beat up" the Lexus GS460 in terms of performance then yes. The Lexus GS has nothing on the M56, you can only opt to the most powerful engine in the GS line up consisiting of the GS460 which produces 342 HP which basically puts the Lexus to shame when lined up next to an Infiniti M37 with an already manly 330HP engine. The M56 produces 420HP, I think we can all agree the Lexus will be left in the dust.
The 2007 M45 was an ancient relic compared to this. I had one on a two year lease and used the miles up and gave it back after one year. I've already forgotten some of the cars I've had since. The M56 is a great step forward, and mine is optioned out and on the way. I'll only miss the quad tailpipes from the old dinosaur.
irrespective of how much i adore all the oh-so-powerful and fun Infiniti cars. but OMG this and the 2011 QX are so HIDEOUS! uggh... Such fantastic cars with such UGLY looks seriously won't work out in a huge market of theirs, Dubai (here!).
@Verliebt Well I think he meant to point out that the M56 isn't as raw as an M5 which is clearly performance focused. The Best Comparison would be this Infiniti m56 against the New BMW 550i.
@carmaster911 25mpg is good for a heavy sedan with a 400 hp. Let me put this in perspective for you, a E92 M3 coupe tops out around EPA 20mpg. Similar type of power, much smaller car.
the way he was chuckling.. I thought "Forest Air" was about blowing air at you if you fart inside the car.. now that would be a cool feature :) Cool car though.. like it!
I must say this is the best review of a car i ever seen on youtube . Very relax cool guy . Just a normal guy . No no it all attitude. thanks do love infinit but i'm sticking with my 08 M35x until they change the look again . reminds me of the bloated 2007 M that got slimmed down for 08. Hopefully infiniti do the same with the 2012 M
may i know who r they kidding .. i have a 2011 m56s .. and this m is the luxury one with the S kit .. 1 proof .. where are the padle shifters .. only the S comes with padle shifters and the luxury doesn't .. if im wrong u r free to reply to .. but i know im not
Good job JF this video is really well made I can't believe that you made this report by youself!!!
Very nice review. I currently own the Infiniti M45 2007. You've done a great job with the specifics.
Had an 06 M45... LOVED it
@JackoSantos Obviously, I didn't film this in the past week. I shot this back in February.
jeez no crew and he can still be bothered to go all the way down there to shoot this video all by himself that is dedication to you craft well done good sir

Seems like a fine car. I like the way you go into detail with the gimmics. Good job.
so what would 'forest air' do if you cut one in the car?
Good review, they should all be this long. JF's are usually good anyway.
Is this car based off a nissan platform, and yes ive looked at the wikipedia for it and it doesnt say
is there M57...if they do I heard it drives itself
I've really liked the M since its came out its just been a really bad ass car.
4wheel active steer doesnt help in the corners unless your taking a corner at like 100km/h. 4 wheel active steer changed the angle of the rear wheels by a max of 1 degree in whichever direction your turning. Its only noticable at highway speeds, not at the idle speed turn he showed.
So is is the drivers seat comfortable? The old M had insufficient driver legroom and the front of the seat cushion was really hard.
if hes by himself, then who is shooting while the car is moving?
hi FL, do you think it can beat up the Lexus GS460 ? i vote for infiniti, plus im a big fan of Infinti, i have the FX35 04
Great review! - just, could we see a little more of the car? :)
@zabuza182 Good question! I asked a fellow journalist on the press trip to drive the car around while I shot it on the side of the road.
take the fuse out of the radio circuit and see if it gets louder.
i liked the ending shot
@ricepaddy69 but the camera turned with the car passing by...
@FLDetours Thats cool how you guys replied! I was being sarcastic to another comment. I figured it was filmed before but you said today in the video.
you could turn the speakers off you know
very goood review for a one man detour
A REAL FLDetour!!!
what about if a cow farts will it close the vents??
@lostaznking Anyways, my point is that the infiniti's v8 is comparatively fuel efficient.
Nice car, but is it really worth 60k?!
@larh0379 he has one camera and he is doing it all his self. give the man some credit.
How does this stack up to a BMW 535?
nice review
@carmaster911 The new one isn't rated yet. The old one gets 22.
M5 of 2011 has 500 hp and newer about 570 hp, so comparing M56 with M5 is irrelevant.
@carmaster911 well thats pretty great for a 5.6 liter V-8
i recommend that you review this cars opposite... the honda fit
Getting one someday in my life;p
Gave ya the like cause ya put in the effort, but then you said you were driving the S model.... As I'm looking at the missing paddle shifters, and base model seats... Good vid otherwise
Pshhh that engie noise stuff is in my Honda Accord V6, stop trying to pull it off like its new Infiniti :D
@Jmanmadness23 Definitely the Infiniti M56

@TheJsHep I tell you in your language, do not talk much or go out much on camera. mostra but the car is what matters. OKKKKKK!
they killed the style of the car smh... i'd buy the old m35 over the new one b/c i love the m cars
@ratmtbola HahahahaThat was funny, good one
@fredokun The US of A is not the only English speaking country out there. Get educated, and stop thinking the whole world lives int he US.
at 3:33 keep pressing it its funny
Turn the radio off .............geeezzzzzzzzz
@fireball1203
hypo-allergenic car?
@TVRFan11 LOL...'buy a vette'? lemme guess, you're not old enough to have a driver's license, right?
@carmaster911 22 hwy
SAY what ?! 25mpg is good ?????!!! No fucking way ? thats shit even for that sice of car
bmw m5 has 501 hp.. just saying
Bad review!!!!! You don't show the interior of the car. You're talking about the nab system but you don't show it.
A successful solo mission. Great video JF!
Question to anyone, would you get the Infiniti M, Lexus LS, or Acura RL? (just keeping it between the Japanese luxury vehicles)

but you should have said M3 instead of M5. M5 has ~500 BHP so of course this Infiniti doesn't measure up, but the M3 has ~420 so it would have been a better comparison.
Infiniti is gonna be one of my dream cars.

Cool car though.. like it!
good review, good car. but try to show us, the interior, the back seat, talk about the exterior, give us 0-60 times in ur reviews too
@skyfaze Power-wise it's right inbetween the 550i and M5. The M5 has 500HP, the 550i has 360HP, and the M56 sits inbetween at 420HP.
@zabuza182 if you mean to the last part of the video.. he probably had the camera on a tripod so he could get that shot.
@fireball1203 Yeah like he can not stop the car and film the them interior and sho what's he's talking about come on.
This is not a sport package! The sport package has solid magnesium paddle shifters on the steering wheel column!
If you did this review on your own, how did you get the driving shots from outside lol? Great review anyways!
Call me paranoid, but I'm slightly suspicious of microphones that do things we aren't supposed to notice...
I love the front end of the car but the rear just isn't fully suited for that body but good review
Go Infiniti!
Nice job JF, soldiering on without the crew!
@FLDetours
Well you answered my question before I asked.
Pretty soon you will be able to buy a V8 M with a Mercedes Benz sourced engine it it... Lame!
@Psgpimp16 You average 18 mpg. This would do 25 mpg on hwy if you drove like an old lady.
shuold have taken some interior shoots :[ but yeah! M56 is really doing something great
random people parachuting at 3:16 lol
good review
now make the exterior look good and it will be a great buy
its April 6th lmao with 82 degree weather in NY. WHere is the snow?
you know torque isnt measured in pounds per feet, its foot/pounds
4:23 I bet Derek would have made a Snooki joke if he was there.
this is so old we had 27 inches of now in december or januarary
he compares the pulling power to the M5 shouldnt he say 550?
25 mpg?? bullshit, i have a 335i and i manage 18 mpg..
kinda reminds me of a panamera just a little bit
finally got someone from the real fld crew
good job for filming it by ur self
@cafmdq speak english or go home
27"???
thats what she said!
infiniti makes the best cars
Royal purple blumpkins
JF one man show i like
wow what a sexy car!
w00t a real fldtour!

Go south pick up some beans on the way.
Errr... sorry but you are not properly dressed to road test a luxury sedan. Other than that, it was good review and what a nice car.
