Nothing wrong with a 335xi as a DD. There are more than a few of them in the parking lot, as well as a ton of 328; they are all AWD.

I'm referring to the Vette and Z; which has been mentioned in these forums is at the same price point of a Q. (maybe some other performance RWD vehicles as well)

Agree. Somebody really needs to make some quality/affordable aftermarket replacement headlights for the 1st gen. So many of them I see on the road are in good shape, but with the yellowed lights which makes the car look its age.

Sand w/ 1000 grit followed by 2000 grit, hit w/ random orbit buffer w/ Ultimate compound and they'll look like new (only takes about 30 minutes total too)

Handling figures

Skid pad is telling. .1g difference could be car variance but not .3g or more. figure 8 speed is also a give away. The q50 should be much better than that since all new cars get stiffer and stiffer chassis.

So buy the numbers, the Q50 isn't faster, which I never expected, it's more refined with a lot more tech than the previous generation.

However, the Q50H makes this a different story as well as the teasers from Infiniti management about new powerplants.

A few minutes with a polisher and some compound and they can look as good as new (unless they are cracking too).
