I work at Infiniti of Melbourne and a week ago the Factory guys brought by a Q-50 AWD-S and a comparable New BMW 328i to test drive and compare. Of course the Infiniti made the BMW look and feel like it was 5 years older! The Q-50 is unreal with what improvements they have done to the already awesome G37! I think you guys will enjoy these pics of the liquid platinum and black interior Q it has the Around view Monitor which alot of you know from the SUVS and is a Sweet addition to the Sedan! The backseats are a hair bigger with some more headroom which it really needed. And folddown back seats from the coupe which is a big plus! Q-50 now has dualtouchscreen system which will be carried accross all the infiniti lineup now and this is the nicest most intuitive system I have seen which carries over to everything like searching for places in GPS. It mirrrors phone apps and even lets you customize your steering strength on the touchscreen.
Also the Q-50 will come with (2) different wheel options in both 17"s and 19"s
I could go one for a long time but basicly I wanna just let you know I hauled *** in a Q-50 already! Enjoy the Pics!

 

Thanks for the pics Justin, nice that the AWD S sedan model now has the big Akebono brakes, nice quality pics too. Other than that glaring front end it's looking nice.

 

I love the front end! Looks kick-***!!

 

The grille on it is actually such a more agressive look and sharp styling you guys are gonna love it its badass!

 

Maybe I'm just too old, I like the G front ends much better, the whole trend from Lexus, Hyundai, and now Infiniti w/ these busy front end treatments is making me appreciate the more conservative German lines that much more.

But I DO love the Qs side profile & interior.

 

Wow, very nice!

 

That is going to look sick when people start to mod these cars .. Well done !!

 

You will like it, the Bold look and the mesh on the front grille is so aggressive and makes a huge statement. The G was the same for so long the new stylying on it is very refreshing. Infinitis really about to come out with some awesome stuff after acquiring the well known guy they did from Audi, with serious technology and performance. Q-50 felt very good driving the Sport AWD around my city.

 

Comparable? Aren't you off by 7 on which model bimmer is better suited for comparison? Did they also bring a C250 and IS250 for comparison? LOL

Gorgeous interior, but that front-end is like a bad joke. There's just no way to take a good picture of that over-designed mess. Maybe it looks better in person.

Anywho, nice to see Infiniti is finally using the BBK in the AWD Sedan. That sure was a long time coming. Although it's not like anyone can see them behind those rims. I suspect eBay is going to be flooded with Q50 owners trying to dump those wheels.

 

Miss your wit, man.

 

Looks good but I WANT 6MT!!!!!!!!! I think I speak for a lot of us :-)

 

Firs impression: I agree, but I think its too busy and "plastic looking" inside and out...love the styling of my '08 G37 coupe so much more..

I agree with several on the front end what a mess I'm certainly glad I purchased a 2010 those quarter size back-up light lenses are a joke, The interior is a bit of an upgrade and the rims have got to go. Hopefully the Paint is improved along with the 7AT.

 

Seems I am in agreement with a few of you. The fog area in particular ruins the front end for me. There is way too much going on up front.

I will even speculate this. Prior to the release of the Q50 photos, if I had come on here and said I was going to purchase and install a front bumper similar to the Q, I would have been most certainly been flamed by many.

I love tech and gadgets so I'm sure I will be envious of the interior once people start writing about all the added features.
I'm going to stick with my 11 6MT for a few more years.

 

Care to elaborate? If I have Waze installed on my iPhone, will the infiniti screen display waze? Same with photos and videos?
