Well let me restate: I don't hate the Q50, Its new and latest-n-greatest of Infiniti and It has some nice styling cues here and there and interior is better, seats i like the most, leather is soft to the touch but firm in cushion, Interior is touch bigger than before. But for some reason, as an overall car, I'm just not feel'n it on this car. when i see it, its like seeing my friends Camry SE Special Edition. Its kinda nice lookin but nothing "POPS" like past Infiniti(s) I had and loved..

I think I will defect to Infiniti Q50. Love Q50's interior.

The big advantage that I like about the Q50 is the customization between trims and colors with its Sport Package.

You can get the Sport Package on every and any color exterior and you can combine that with several interior colors with wood trim.

Maybe I'm an old soul, but I prefer wood trim over aluminum/ss and I would like to have the non typical colors having the option of a sport package as opposed to settling with the same ol white/silver/gray/red/black..

While I have not seen a Q50 in person, I don't think there's much comparision to the exterior styling of the 3IS. To me, the exterior of the Q50 resembles that of a Mazda 6. Not what I'd be looking for... but to each their own

I saw a Q50 on Friday, looked like a couple salesmen testing it out. They were driving it pretty hard. They passed by me and just stared at my IS (White F-Sport 350). The IS definitely has the looks over the Q50.

Q50 delayed again. So bad tat one of the Q forum members (Q50Aggie) put this video up. It's a funny and creative way to vent. I feel bad for those folks.

I would go IS all the way as I feel that the Infiniti styling is uses too many curves and I do not like that bulbous look.

Waiting on Infinit's FAIL Launch, once launched for 3rd time I hope I can really look the car over in detail, drive it and get a good vibe from it. I only got a chance to sit and preview it a few weeks back. We shall see..

Too many Vanilla Ice douche bag gangster rapper types tooling around in the G series to catch my interest (assume they will all move over to the Q as well)

I was waiting to see both cars in the flesh. I've seen the 3IS already, but Infiniti was delayed in getting the Q50 to dealerships. I checked them out on the lots this weekend and was not impressed. Granted, I didn't get to check out the interior, but IMO the exterior of the IS has it all over the Q50. And I am unbiased. We have both brands in our family. The Q50 just looks dowdy compared to the IS. I hope Infiniti hasn't made another massive design mistake, like with the M37.

I think both the IS and Q50 have amazing exterior styling and I love the look of both of them. No photo of the Q50 is accurate....the photos on the Infiniti site are almost inaccurate. I went to the dealership this week and saw about 15 Q50s lined up and they are NICE to look at!

Q50 Launch Delayed - YouTube

I am a member on the forum and when that vid was posted it was hilarious. However, now the Q50's have been driving off the lot and many happy customers.

G8girl you need to test drive one and you'll be sold at how good the cars is.

Personally I have driven the Q50S hybrid RWD and it is wicked fast. The 1 iam buying will be Grey with aluminum interior, with tech package.
