They brought the Q50's out for a little sun and I have to say I'm sold. I really like the looks of this thing in person. I was little worried about the wood being included when you add the adjustable steering modes package but I really like the wood after seeing it in person. They are having a ride n drive event so I am trying to get some time behind the wheel. The car looks so aggressive from the front end especially with the LEDs on.

Not yet, pics are going to be highly unlikely but that doesn't mean I won't try. Other than what I've seen myself and knowing what model year these will be sold as I don't have any additional info but I might have a good chance at a guided look at the 2016 models tomorrow.

Q60 was off limits but from what I saw the other day the rendering in another thread here is the closest thing I have seen from anything on the web.
The 2015/16 Q70 gets an interior upgrade along with new front fascia including LED drls and rear taillights.
2016 QX50 is interesting because it doesn't look to different from the existing EX but they are saying there are hardly any exterior parts shared and the interior gets major revisions.
2015 QX80 gets new front fascia and center console.
2016 Infiniti LE / Q30 seemed to be wearing much more realistic exterior and interior. Not my cup of tea but still impressive tech in that car.
2016 QX30 was my favorite and was the vehicle I was describing in an earlier post that looks like a mix between an X1 and EX35. It's about the same size of an X1 but sits a bit lower. It looks great in my opinion but the windows were blacked out because the interior was not final.
They also had the Etherea's cabin there and yes it was just the passenger cabin but still cool to look at.
And of course the Q50 about 8 of them to be exact.
Really cool stuff, let me know if you all have any questions.

Q50's infotainment center was disappointingly slow but I was told these preproduction models had early versions installed so I am hoping production version is much better.
QX50 and current EX exterior is mainly differentiated by the front end which by the way Infiniti seems to be pulling a Lexus move and updating all there models with a similar front end.
Q70 looks amazing with the updated exterior! Crazy aggressive.
Q30/LE I just noticed the story on Autoblog from a couple of days ago about the unknown release date so I maybe breaking news about a confirmed 2016 model.

From what I saw they are similar but not the same. The fog light housings were more of a curved space than the boxy look of the Q50. Everything was 7AT and I didn't ask if the actual trans was the same from previous models but the Q50 I got to drive felt sharper but my personal opinion is its new software mapping and not an entirely new tranny. Oh the Q30 was CVT for now but I don't see why they would change it. CVT is probably best for a small hybrid. Thank God our hybrid Q's get real gears.

Well I got a very cool and super secretive tour of some of the future models by an Infiniti exec. Pictures were nearly impossible so forgive me but I say nearly because they were strictly not permitted but if I knew what type of security I would be going up against today it may have been possible.
