Perhaps in other parts of California, but in my area it's predominantly Lexus, MBZ, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar and Tesla

LOL...Q50 has more tech than the IS350 F-Sport AND it will blow the doors off the IS350 in terms of speed...while costing less.

Lease less…..Both cars have tech and sadly it isn't working that well in the Q50. Until they fix the constant issues I wouldn't even bring up technology in the car.

Because the IS technology isn't immune to MAJOR problems either. :roll eyes:

Q50 gives you leather while IS F-Sport doesn't.
Rain sensing wipers in Q50 while not in the IS F Sport
No memory seats in the IS F Sport
Where is the forward collision warning and prevention system in the IS F Sport?
Where is the lane keep system in the IS F Sport?
Where is the 360 view camera or forward facing camera in the IS F Sport?

Ignorance.

lol at ignorance…

The IS is not plagued with issues, it has a couple. The Q50 is sadly plagued with issues. If I linked all the problem threads this post would be half a mile long.

You don't seem to understand that both cars have features the other does not have in regards to technology. Both cars have pros and cons over one another. Also many of the features you list can be had on a non F-sport so its a moot point.

IS has LFA inspired gauges people drool over and much more informational than the Q50
The IS has a true adaptive suspension with Sport + mode that adjusted the suspension. The Q50 does not.
The IS has an 8 speed auto the the Q50 7 speed
The IS has remote touch like the Germans. The Q50 has an older touchscreen that is giving many issues.
The IS offers a 15 speaker, 835 watt Mark Levinson Sound System. The Q50 still has Bose.
The IS offers electrostatic temperature gauges. The Q50 does not

The Q50 has a huge card offering a hybrid that gets 30 MPG and it also offers it in AWD and Sport. The IS 300h is not offered here. The IS had engineers from the LFA team. Its why the car handles so well, many experts feel best in class and the Q50 drives much less sporty. You see technology is not just something a third party was told to work on, technology is also the actual carmaker designing the car. The IS features less welds and some new super glue to keep the chassis super stiff. You won't see that bragged about by a dealership salesman or from most on the internet that don't know. They do know that one car has NAV and another does not.

Its obvious both cars have some things and are missing some things. Not sure why you are here trying to inform us (again) about how the Q50 is better. You like your car, good, enjoy it.

Are they going to discontinue the G eventually, or keep selling Q50 and G (perhaps an updates one) along side forever?

Q50>>>>>>>>>Everything Else

I had the opportunity to try out the new Q50 Hybrid and it was simply mind bogglingly good.

Love the interior that is actually LUXURY & QUALITY and not black flimsy plastic.

I see lots of them in the Philly area. Saw 2 of them @ the Philly Auto Show this weekend, stickered up to $56K. I'm thinking Infiniti is going to go the CLA / A3 route, and slot a smaller, cheaper model in at its low end, and push the Q50 up market.

Well, they recently announced that the G will be re-designated Q40 so who knows. Seems to me they should just let the G ride off into the sunset as the G and then bring in whatever completely new model to replace it be that the Q30 or something else.
