Ditto. Is this one for you and you're keeping the GS for your wife?

Our lease is up on the G37 Vert in March 2014, so we will most likely be trading that for a Q50 Vert if one is available and trading the GS for an RC Coupe whenever that is introduced. My g/f loves the G37 Vert, but I find that it has too much chassis flex, so I don't like to drive it. Fingers crossed that Infiniti will create more rigidity in the Q Mobile.

Yes! IS 350 F SPORT is going to be a winner. Finally, a split folding back seat and extra rear leg room are huge for the IS. It's about time.

The new IS F SPORT doesn't have the same adjustments as GS F SPORT. No adjustable bolsters.

Congrats! Can't wait to see pics and hear feedback on how it drives. I was considering white with red interior myself, so I will be very interested to hear your thoughts when it arrives.

I'm assuming you're getting the IS350 F-Sport. (duh)

Would love to hear your comparisons of its ride and handling vs its GS big brother and how the 3.5L+8 speed stacks up vs the 3.5L+6 speed of the GS.
