Q50 is not cheap either, especially considering nobody knows Infiniti is premium brand in Europe... Around €60k for loaded hybrid in Germany... more here due to high CO2. They have a diesel, better priced.

Last night I attended a really well done launch party at balharbour hosted by Warren Henry Infiniti. Word had already spread about us lowering the car and Infintii themselves seemed pretty impressed.

Drove the snot outta the car last night and its grown on me tons in 2 days. Getting rid of those ****ty run flats for the new Toyo tires with some 285 rubber on the back with the prototype suspension has fixed that disappointing initial ride and handling.

Pics and a new thread coming soon. Really liking this car!

I'm not crazy about the front of the car but the interior looks great.

very cool, Mike. So happy you are digging the car. I am looking forward to driving it this weekend. Yesterday the salesmen offered but I hate the sales pressure you get when you get out of an LS wearing scrubs. Its like blood int he water for salesman . Im going to go in on saturday in sweats and my wifes sienna.

I figured from the reviews that if the run flats were an issue Infiniti will get it sorted quickly. It not that hard to source new tires or the customers can simply demand that the tire be swapped out.

HAve you lowered the car yet. The pics with the girls looks stock height. Any slammed pics !!??

DAAAAMMMMNNN !!!! Vossen killed it !!!! The first dropped Q50 on the road and Vossen put that together faster than anyone out there.

Much love to the Vossen crew for yet another hit. Beautiful cars and beautiful wheels. You guys are taking the industry by storm !!!! I have been around for a bit and have never seen marketing for any wheel company as good as Vossen. Proud to have a set on my car.

Yes, yes you are definitely helping to sell that car. Sweet vid, nice shoes!

When I die, I'm requesting a return visit back to earth as Blueprint.
