I wonder if Infiniti is coming out with a new 'entry level Infiniti' in the near future and moving the Q50 into a newer level. I hope they don't push the Q50 closer to the 50k range with features added.

My lease is up on my '10 in about 8 months. I been trying to decide what to go for next.
Q50
328
X5
A4
ATS
Or to save gas and get something like the Fusion Hybrid or something.

I love my 37x and hope the Q50 doesn't price me out of it.

 

Expect the Q50 to begin at 37-38K and top out at 50K fully loaded for the AWD model.

Its going to boil down what you add to the car.

As always, theres going to be specific packaging.

-Premium package, Sports package, Tech Package

Navigation and Around-view-Camera will be standard in all cars...but the Adaptive Steering combined with the Active Lane system and the ability to customize your steering ratio with the touch screen will be part of the tech package.

Expect the Q50 Hybrid to be atleast 7K more than the regular model.

 

have they came out with hp numbers yet ? im really dissapointed that they have done much with the engine,

maybe something different for the coupe ?

 

 

Well, remember that we had the G35 sedan for a year before we got the G37. Maybe it'll be a similar thing this time around.

 

Would have been nice to see a coupe version

 

The 2 power trains are already in current vehicles, so numbers are available. The 3.7L VVEL in the Q50 is the same one that's in the current G. The hybrid 3.5L engine is the same as the one that's in the current M hybrid. 328 and 360 combined respectively.

 

My lease is up in December this year, and I have almost the same list as you. However, since I am looking for a sedan with a manual, I would remove the X5 and replace it with an Acura TL.

 

I did not see any mention of the IPL models. With the introduction of the new 'Q' models, is the IPL dead?

If so, mine may become an instant collector car!

 

I seriously doubt the IPL is being discontinued. It's simply not be introduced at the same time as the Q50. It will probably call when the new Q60 is announced. And it might actually have a real performance upgrade by then.

 

LOVE how it was announced that the Q60 won't be released for another 2-3 years? WTF???? There's nooooo way I can wait that long to get back into a G/Z....Time to start shoppin'!!!!!!!!!

 

I just notices that 2014 infiniti Q50 and lexus IS only have exterior and interior change , but motor pretty the same.

 

Except that the IS gets a new chassis, and the Q50 is just a re-skin on the existing chassis.

 

na, infiniti will put some work into the IPL, they have to compete in the M3 segment

 

I agree it's all about the product they put out, but I don't care for the name change.

Organizing by pricing, maybe the new nomenclature should be Infiniti MSRP48,469! A simple t or tt for turbo or twin turbo would differentiate the smaller displacement vehicles being superior. They could just keep their current letters and add hp numbers rather than displacement numbers. I think it is all part of their brand identity structure. It's why all Infiniti grilles look the same, regardless of model. They want to further push manufacturer identity and diminish model identity. For car geeks, it just makes it harder to distinguish. Now we're going to have badging on the fenders, for x, S and IPL models. He was pretty specific that new models will only be Q or QX followed by two digits only. The Q designates nothing. The current nomenclature is easier, means more, and most importantly, already exists and the current customer base understands it.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but if you look at the 2014 nomenclature on page 1, notice that the G50 reads Luxury Sports Sedan, and the G60 reads Sports Coupe/Convertible. Could this be a hint that the two may take on different objectives with the G50 focussing more on luxury, and the G60 focusing more on performance?

In the end, I and most will buy the car based on its merits, not its name.
