2011 Infiniti M56s Review

If you want to break from the traditional luxury sport sedan, but still want something that performs and looks great, you should definitely consider the 2011 Infiniti M56S. For 2011, the M56S boasts about a 70 horsepower increase, more sculpted exterior lines, and user-friendly interior updates. In layman’s terms, the ‘11 M6 S was re-designed, both inside and out.

Under the hood, the M56S is a beast. It is powered by a 5.6L VVEL direct-injection V8 mated to a 7-speed transmission that produces 420 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 417 lb-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. Fuel economy with this paring is surprisingly not atrocious, and on the highway, it could be considered downright good. Expected values are 16 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.

Infiniti also realized that there are many different types of drivers that could be drawn to the M56 and of course, there are always different types of driving conditions. There is a knob that tailors the driving experience to the driver’s desire as well as the road conditions. Choosing between sport, standard, economy, and snow settings changes the mapping for the transmission, engine, and traction. Also, If you and your spouse or family member are sharing the Infiniti M56S, the iKey (“intelligent key”) saves you the frustration of constantly having to re-adjust the seat and mirror settings by remembering specific individual settings for multiple drivers.

The basic M56 starts at a base price of $56,550 but the upgrades for the optional sport package and optional deluxe interior package brought the price up to $64,065.

Baylor Bears Advance to Sweet 16

The remaining Texas team in the NCAA Tournament is the Baylor Bears (came in as a 3 seed) and they are set to play St. Mary's on Friday in Houston, TX. The fact that Baylor is playing in their home state of Texas should give them a nice home court advantage with students and alumni traveling to the game.

At Grubbs Infiniti we have been "inspired" by the marketing campaign and partnership developed between Infiniti and the NCAA. At Grubbs Infiniti we have been working to integrate the components of the National Infiniti campaign with our local efforts and have enjoyed doing so.

Now that the selections have been made we are very excited and inspired by the inclusion of 7 Texas teams in the NCAA Tournament this year. Only Baylor made it to the Sweet 16 but that's no reason to stop cheering or checking your brackets if you are a Texan.

On Facebook we have developed a custom tab that highlights Infiniti's sponsorship of the "Bracket Challenge" and the opportunity for a lucky winner to win a 2011 Infiniti M.

Infiniti Encouraging Dealer Participation
Infiniti is encouraging the employees of dealerships nationwide to participate in the Bracket Challenge and has set up an internal contest that each dealership can play. I was disappointed to learn that I can't win the 2011 Infiniti M but at least I can beat my co-workers .

At Grubbs Infiniti we had our monthly meeting a few days ago where the "Bracket Challenge" was announced and the announcement was greeted with some good smack talking and predictions on who is going to have the best bracket.

Update on Infiniti "Dallas" Bracket
Our own, George Grubbs III, is in 2nd place in the Infiniti Dallas NCAA bracket and I am WAY back in 19th place out of about 22. So not doing so well. I simply picked the lowest seeds for the entire tournament but with a few upsets that really killed my bracket.
