Actually that's the Gen 1.5 Q45. Introduced in 1990 and lasted til 1996. That particular model with the "formal" grill came out in 1994. Beware though, the Gen1 Q45 is notorious for having tranny problems. My friend had a 1991 Q45 and replaced the tranny twice...and it only had 130k before he got rid of it.

But a daily driver? I can think of many other cars instead I would pick over this.

The 1st-gen Q did not have a real grille at all...most of the cooling air was sucked in under the front bumper

Whatever you do though, avoid the Q45a with the electronic "active" suspension. It was a good ride-handling compromise but was complex, unproven, and expensive to repair. That model, I believe, had already been dropped by the time the car you're looking at had been built....and your car is obviously not a factory suspension and wheel set-up anyway.
