No way.. I believe you could have come with a better example... like the F30. But Mazda 6? Not by a long shot.

 

It does Have some similarities, question REALLY is....


Who is going to send the first set of headlights to 180 to get painted lol

 

That's a very good point of discussion. I wonder where the plate frame is designed to go? Here in NY, they're very serious about having front plates.

 

Did they release what exterior/interior color choices will be available or do we have to wait a few more weeks for that stuff to come out?



NY really dropped the ball when they rolled out those ugly yellow/black plates.
The blue/whitish ones from the early 2000's was much better looking.

 

I know this isn't directly relevant to this thread, but... The new Q sealed the deal. I just brought home a black on saddle 335is and am thrilled about my decision.

G37 part out coming soon!

 

Wow, that was fast! I take it the Q didn't quite do it for you.

Congrats and GL with it.

 

The Q50 looks to be a good looking car, not an all new design but is the current car with different styling and interior refinements (maybe). I like the Q50's grill better then the Lexus IS.

 

US license plates failed. Why can't they be like the Eu license plate?

 

Haha yeah I'm as surprised as you. I found a stellar deal on exactly what I wanted and jumped on it!

Pics will come in a separate thread.

Who wants parts?

 

Congratulations. Great car.

Personally I will wait, get behind the wheel for a test and review all the performance specs. I have time though and perhaps you were rushed.

 

I hear you, but I have wanted the 335 for a long time but couldn't find an affordable deal for me. The incentives on this ride got me where I wanted so it was an easy sell and was coaxed by a the lack of a turbo in the new Q. Drive train is more important to me than infotainment features. Just a personal preference.

 

That's interesting. I would have bet good money that with your mods, and your obvious enthusiasm for the car, that you'd be buying out the lease. But clearly I don't know you, man. (Seriously, I really don't know you, LOL!)

Of course you're going to love the 335i. Finally got that 6MT Sedan, eh?

On a personal note, you do realize that you're parting out that GT-Spec FSTB just days after I went and bought one brand new? I'm none too happy about that timing, Ash.

 

Congrats, Ash, look forward to pics of the new 3. Sorry to see you gone from the G lineup but don't be a stranger. I'll be keeping an eye on your part out for sure!

 

I agree, I think when everyone sees this car in person they will realize how good it looks. The light silver color doesn't do it justice, just wait until you see one in black, it will make the grill, headlights, and fogs really stand out.

Overall Infiniti is heading in the right direction. They have a long term global plan that will be implemented over the next number of years as they roll out new product. I'm really looking forward to the coupe, hopefully it's also a great car.

 

Congrats - it's a fun car. I migrated to the German side (Audi S5) as well, although I kept the G37 (for my wife - it's funny how many now want the Q50 for the wife...) Did you get the 335is (the one with the N54 engine), or the regular 335i (with the N55 engine)?

Infiniti will no doubt lose a bunch of customers to BMW and Audi now that they didn't deliver what some enthusiasts expected from the Q50, but maybe it's a smart business decision overall for them - time will tell.

Why compete where there are already great choices on the market, and where they are behind. Instead, differentiate on a sporty hybrid that the competition doesn't have, plus some nifty new electronics. May make sense.
