Q50 Pre-Order Pricing Announced
This is from Automobilemag.com. The good question is one they ask: Will the pricing be the same after the pre-order period.
New York 2013: 2014 Infiniti Q50 Starts at $37,355
Written by: Ben Timmins[G+] on March 27 2013 9:30 AM
It could be a scene from “The Price is Right:” take a look at the 2014 Infiniti Q50, and guess how much it costs without going over the actual price. If you said anything $40,000, you’d lose this round–the new car will cost $37,355 when it goes on sale this summer.
Credit Infinti with some creative pricing strategies to go along with its new naming strategy. the car-formerly-known-as-the-G will cost $37,355 as part of an “introductory pre-order” deal in hopes of driving customer interest. Infiniti will also give Q50 buyers a complimentary iPad mini if they place their orders during the initial pre-order period, a sign that the “premium brands giving gifts to new owners” trend set by brands like Lincoln and cars like Hyundai’s Equus is here to stay. What might not be here to stay is the price–Infiniti hasn’t said if this MSRP will stay this low past the introductory period.
That $37,355 (some $905 less than the base 2013 Infinti G) will score you a new sedan with Infiniti’s tried-and-true 3.7-liter V-6–which makes 328 horsepower–and a seven-speed automatic transmission. For the first time, the G37 sedan won’t feature a six-speed manual transmission. From there buyers can step up to the Q50 Premium ($40,205) or the Q50 Sport ($45,655). There’s also a hybrid model that uses a 3.5-liter V-6 and a seven-speed automatic gearbox–the base Hybrid Premium starts at $44,605, while the top-spec Q50 Hybrid Sport will cost you $47,005. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine will be added to the mix in 2015; in the meantime, all-wheel drive is an $1800 option available on all trim levels and with either powertrain.
While we’re not sure how the Q50′s standard features will stack up against the competition, the Q50′s base price is a world beater, coming in thousands less than other mid-size premium/sport sedans with at least 300 horsepower and an automatic transmission. Lexus’ 2013 IS350 is the closest competitor, ringing in at $41,215, but prices go all the way up to $49,895 for Audi’s S4. Infiniti does say that its “popularly equipped” model is the Q50 Premium, which means that you’ll probably need to shell out $40,205 for a sedan that truly compares on standard/available features. Even if that’s true, the Q50 still takes the crown for the least expensive competitor, by about $1000.
The Q50 will reach dealers this summer.

Looks like someone slipped up over at the Automobile site, the page has been removed. Luckily someone over at FreshAlloy spotted it and copy and pasted the whole page.
The pricing is obviously awesome, but its still up in the air what it will look like after the pre-order period. But as it is now looks like a Q50 Hybrid is about $600 more than a 335i.

WOW the Q50 sport starts at $45k??? I assume the sport package will be equipped the same as the 2013 G37S 6MT by adding premium and nav packages standard.

And since AWD is priced as a distinctly separate option, rather than a separate model, that also implies that the Q50 AWD Sport will still get a sport suspension, brakes, tires & steering... unlike today's G37xS, which just gets seats and wheels.
About time, I'd say.

Not bad for an entry level, but what goodies does the premium give you?
If it's like the current line up, then those features include:
Wonder why such a steep jump in price to the sport model. For the current models its only ~$2250 (sedan), even less for the coupe.
If it's like the current line up, then those features include:
Power sliding tinted glass moonroof with one-touch auto-open/close, tilt feature and sliding sunshade
Infiniti Studio on Wheels® by Bose® 10-speaker Premium Audio System, including 3-way component front door speakers with 10-inch subwoofers and a parcel shelf-mounted subwoofer, CD player with MP3 playback capability, Radio Data System (RDS) and speed-sensitive volume control
Rear Sonar System[*]
Driver's Audio Stage
Dual occupant memory system for driver's seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors, linked to individual Intelligent Keys
Driver’s seat, steering wheel and outside mirror position synchronization
Power tilt and telescopic steering column

Probably keeps the same "tiers" for options the current ones have, ex: it's ~$7k over base for the automatic G currently. The $2250 on the current sedan is in addition to a G with the premium and Nav packages already added (which are close to $5k).

This is going to be a hard sell without the 6MT option available at launch. If they offer a 12 month lease or something, I may be interested. But lots of new cars coming out this summer...
