Acceleration blocked

Rarely when attempting to accelerate for a stop or slow speed, it gets stuck at 2,000 rpm and 20 mph and will not advance . You must take your foot off the accelerator and reapply slowly, Same with the manual mode. Can be dangerus when changing lanes in heavy traffic. To dealer 3 timers, they say they can not replicate this and it is fine. It is not fine, did this from day one. Some one said a software problem may exist as it is 1st generation software. I think I will trade in on a G35. I really like the M45 but but every time you want to get up and go you hold your breath because there is a chance it won't. Any help appreciated.

Leased the car mainly becuase I don't think the resale value is there. I looked at the BMW 540i and almost purchase one, but the price difference between the M45 and the BMW 540 was too significant and could not justify it to myself. I'm glad I got the M45, I think the M45 is the best value out there. It's has more power then the Lexus 430 (previously owned). It's a nice car and a great value.

Great value, still not quite first tier

I have come to the M45 after 12 years of owning much higher-end luxry performance cars: Mercedes SL55, Jaguar XJR, Acura NSX. The M45 won me over with the only interior design comparable to the first-tier cars, and very reasonable performance for a 4 door sedan. Exterior design is uninspiring, sharing far too much with the Nissan Altima and Maxima. Highs: interior design, wheels, ride comfort, seating room, performance capability, value. Mediums: steering response, exterior styling, exterior fit and finish, paint quality, audio Lows: interior fit and finish (relative to class); buggy XM radio implementation; rear shade is $5000 option (because it is bundled with rear video screen)

After driving Tahoes for 10 years, I had to buy this vehicle after a test drive. Power and handling are superb, while the cabin is comfortable and quiet. The last time I had this much fun in a car was my '94 Corvette convertible, but now with my first grandchild, I needed a safe car with 4 doors and reasonable backseat space. The frontseats have more room than any other vehicle in it's class. The console is easy to use and I can even read all the buttons without my glasses. The Bluetooth handsfree technology works flawlessly, transferring calls from my cellphone into the cabin, when my phone is on in the car. Enough blithering, go take one for a test drive and you'll see what I mean.

Positives: 335 HP V-8 engine is superior to all others, very smooth & powerful. Seats are very comfortable for long drives,ventilated,lumbar. Voice commands,Bluetooth,NAV,Bose Studio 14 spkr DVD audio & technology features superior. Reliable electronics (Japan),100% Japan parts content & assembly. Awesome tech & features for price point. Negatives: Headliner "clicks",intermittent rattles,road feel & handling feedback compared to new BMW 5 Series is poor,wheel balance on front right was way off. Quirky steering wheel movement on freeways requires continuous tiny hand inputs probably due to 19" tires and sport suspension setup(too tight)After 3000 mi.& 3 months sold car to CARMAX for $48,000.
