Great shots! So, here's one finally on the roads, and not in camouflage paint. Is that a dealer plate?

Thanks, Dave. The car looks fantastic. I wish Stavros969 had shown some features in more detail:
- The HUD in action
- The ambient lighting and that peculiar screen in front of the front passenger
- The design and construction of those rear door windows. If you look closely, they don't have a guiding seam/support on the outside: the different pieces of glass are flush. That's really neat.
- The headlights and tailights lit up with blinking hazard lights. Also the "whisker" DRLs.

I still see the Infiniti Q70L every time I see the car.

Distributor plate is actually Lexus Headquarters. So it's either from the remaining employees up in Torrance or the Western Region office in Irvine.
