Included in the Technology package are a lane departure warning and prevention system, blind-spot warning system and a forward collision warning system with intelligent brake assist.
The 2011 Infiniti M56 is a big car, but it drives smaller than you might think.
Compared to long-standing luxury leaders such as Audi and Jaguar, the Infiniti lacks snob status. Expert drivers have achieved nearly 30 mpg/highway using Eco mode; the “Eco pedal” applies resistance to the accelerator pedal so that drivers cannot unceremoniously floor the pedal, thus wasting fuel.
In automobile parlance, the Infiniti M56 has “organic” styling, with voluptuous curves and flowing lines. Functional elements – door handles, dashboard controls, etc. – are beautifully stylized but retain their sensibility; ergonomics is considered one of the Infiniti’s highlights.
