Looks pretty good, though they went with a safer route than Lexus with the new IS. I notice that the hood line is way nicer than 3 series. The hood line on 3 series is square like the one on FR-S.

That rear is great! I like it, except for the stupid change of name.

Not sure whats going on with the Japanese luxury companies and these ridiculous grills. Other than that, not bad. Interior is what I would expect. Also appears to have 2 screens on the dashboard.

Im still in disbelief that its called the Q50. WTF!!?

very clean design overall. im a bit disappointed in the rear tho. looks like they went the avenue of the 4gs, sonata, mazda 6. i'm already missing the signature L shaped tailights. interior is typical infiniti

I love it! Better looking than the IS, and the interior looks pretty nice (not as nice as the Lexus). Love the purple in the gauges a la the 2009 M35. I can already tell this will be more of a driver's car vs the IS, so a debadged Q50 will likely be in my garage in the future.

I also think that it looks better than IS, but the new IS has better interior.

Also, is that a touch screen in the middle ?

Looks like a proper luxury sedan done by the book. Good job.

3 Series looks even more dull now.

You can tell a car is a better drivers car in pics? Maybe you haven't heard but the GS is the sportiest car in class, the IS F with the revised suspension dropped nearly 10 seconds off the Lightning Lap(on par with the M5) and well....LFA

Surely both will drive good and sporty.

Seems Acura and Infiniti are not going with the ****/remote touch ala the Germans and Lexus This and the RLX have what seems to be dual screens. This seems much better integrated than in the RLX.

yes. since I like touch screen better, I think the center stack layout is better than the IS.

The exterior probably is the sport trim, and I don't like those bulging foglight "cheeks".

Side profile silhouette looks a lot like 3 series.
I'd say it looks like a 3 series melted in the oven.

I don't like that squiggly lexus-like C pillar.

2013 is the year of ugly overdesigned cars
