I am digging the colors available for the Q50. I think it would look great dropped in red or that black that shines purple in direct light

Damn! That car looks really muscular with the drop and the better offset rims. Good soundtrack too!

Thats why I enjoy the Vossen videos so much. They mix music with dropped car and that is ALWAYS a good combo

After Infiniti sees what you have done Vossen should ask them to see if they can get the new vehicles before they hit the streets to do these videos. Its a win win. Vossen sells more wheels and Infiniti sells more cars.

Great job Blueprint and Diego!

The added bonus for me is, with your efforts and credibility in the community the complainers about this car are in a weak position

I started yapping a few months ago that the new IS did not make me happy in the way the 2006 model did and that I would be moving to the Infiniti scene and the general tone about the Q here was less than excited and the discussions slid too often to the new nomenclature instead of on the car.

I have been having a blast with my Q50 Hybrid S AWD and my family has never been happier with a new car.

My adult kids are particularly happy with the increased rear seat room over the IS.

My wife is into the general quiet, particularly in EV mode.

For me dusting folks at green lights or passing an 18 wheeler and noticing the car is getting past 90 quickly have been highlights.

Well over the last few days I have driven the Q50 S, IS 350 F-sport, GS 350 F-sport and the old GS 450h and I hope to have a G37 refresher and I can make a nice post on my thoughts.

In regards to the Q50S I must admit the car has really grown on me quickly, I love looking at it and isn't that a reason to buy a car? On the negative side, the software and apps are laggy or don't work and they actually froze up once. A lot of complaining on the Q50 forums.

Sadly, Infiniti has just destroyed the launch of a very solid car so hopefully sales pick up. How could they do this to their own product. Its mind boggling.

Actually the problem will be G37 vs Q50 sales. We just had one of us skip the Q50 and buy a G37 S since the price was too good and the engine is the same.

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.
Thanks..a ****load of hard work but all worth it

lol..its a great car, but if you look at my past G35/G37 reviews, I always said for the money its one of the best cars around. More than anything the issue was a bunch of kids with no license or driving mommas G20 on the internet talking **** about things they know nothing about and have been proven completely wrong on so many levels I'm winning a Nobel Peace Prize for troll killing. Ironic

No doesn't rub at all. Once it did over some abnormal parking lot entrance. I'm enjoying driving this car.
