S2000toIS350

I love this place.

My Q50S Hybrid AWD was the best car I ever bought prior to my new NSX and the Q50 gets crapped on all day long here, go figure?

I know a lot of the sales volume is being helped by friendly lease deals but this is an excellent car. Too bad that some folks can't get past the name and the DAS.

i appreciate your posts TangoRed - you present facts, not personal slanted alternative facts

I had a Q50S hybrid for a week as my G35 was being repaired. It was fully loaded and a loaner It was an impressive car for sure but dynamically, it isn't as good as the IS350 F-Sport. My choice was between the Q50, 335, and IS350 at the time and chose the 350 because it had the best dynamics and it really wasn't all that close. The 335 was also better than the Q50 too. However, of you are looking primarily at straight line speed, the Q50 and 335 would walk away from the IS. I'd pick the Q50 RS over the 335 though

I cannot remember seeing an Infiniti recently up here in Ontario, Canada at all. Many more Lexi (and Acura) than Infiniti.

Saw a black one on the road today, thought it looked awesome...

Instead of buying this car Q60 for $60K, i'm going for Genesis G80 Sport.

You know what a great car it is, and that's all that counts. Our '13 G7 Vert has lasted us for over 25k miles with not one issue. My only complaint is the heavy hard top that takes forever to do its dance going up and down and the "Kleenex box" size room in the trunk when the top is down. Aside from that, it's a good, solid, functional car.

I see Q50's everywhere in Dallas. Great looking cars!

Totally different type of car...

Thanks! Facts always provide useful context in threads like this.

Bingo lol.

Only omissions that I desired was adaptive suspension, and that was fixed this year with the Red Sport. It's obviously competitive within its class, and Infiniti needed that.

It's because the Q50 is a tweener car. It's big...more midsize than compact car. It's also cross shopped with the ES due to its size. The IS350 is probably the second smallest in its class...the ATS is smaller. I'm really happy with the size though. I think BMW went too big with the current 3 series

Not sure what the lease rates on q50 are, but the old G37 leased for less than IS250 here in NYC.

That was the G37 against the 2IS, looks like the Q50 is doing much better than the 3IS. If I had to choose it would be a Q50 Sport over any of the 3IS offerings currently.

That is also true. It's family sedan sized, while the IS is still compact. Come to think of it, the IS is the only sedan in it's class that is still compact, the rest have really balooned.
