I share similar sentiment in the sense that I'm cautiously optimistic. When it comes to powertrains. I'm lost. Nissan just gives out so many mixed messages. That said, I wouldn't doubt if they ended just making "another" Short Q out of the Z... Even though Nissan claimed they wouldn't go that route with the Z35. :confused:

I don't know guys but i think that front end looks kinda tough... I like!!

Dam RIP to the G35 simple design. This car looks horrendous. Looks like they ruined their front grill Like Acura did.

Acura vs infiniti. No comparison. The infiniti looks nice. People are just gonna have to get used to Japanese progressive sculptural expression or buy american/grerman "time stand still" flat bodies.

personally now seeing a 360 degree video of the Q50 i actually like it now, the G35 was good when it first came out design wise, but when everyone else started upping their game in design it started looking very dated, very fast in terms of design not to mention the sheer amount of them you are now seeing out on the road now that they are affordable for the teeny boppers, cant even count on both hands how many i see everyday here in Southern california. Gotta give it to infiniti though, this is one handsome design from all angles.

Really wish it had two things:

- a lower, sleeker roofline with that C pillar hook sharpened to match.
- a manual transmission.

This car needs more aggressive wheels. The M56S wheels would look great on the new Q50

This car makes me think to myself - does the new Mazda 6 look better than this car? Not that they are cars to be directly compared, but only on exterior looks, the thought does come to mind.

Damn that's one ugly *** car. Looks like a ******* regular honda accord or some ****.

The headlights and hood probably cost more than the honda accord engine on this. If you think this looks like a Honda accord? I'm going to guess.

1. You never seen this car in person
2. BMW and Audi are cars you see from a distance.

You may not like this car. But i seen it up close and in my face... It doesn't look cheap like some shytbox accord.

Three new world's first production performance technologies make their debuts in the Q50 – Infiniti Direct Adaptive Steering™ technology, Active Lane Control™ and Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW). The new steering system allows advanced control of the Q50's tire angle and steering inputs, transmitting the driver's intentions to the wheels faster than a mechanical system. The Active Lane Control™ uses a camera-based lane marker detection system and Direct Active Steering™ system to further enhance lane-keeping capability and improve vehicle straightability. The Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW) system warns the driver of risks that lie beyond the driver's field of view. It not only can sense the relative velocity and distance of a vehicle directly ahead, but also of a vehicle travelling in front of the preceding one.

The new Q50 also offers Infiniti InTuition™, a fully customizable digital environment for linking various driver settings and driving characteristics to their Infiniti Intelligent Key, and Infiniti InTouch™ next-gen smart connectivity, featuring dual touch-screens and an array of advanced functions, features and custom apps.

Q50 Design: An Inheritance of Riches - Infiniti Online Newsroom
HONG KONG - Essence, Etherea, Emerg-E: three outstanding concept cars that over the past four years have helped define the seductive and individual appeal of Infiniti, the luxury performance brand.

And all cars without which the latest Infiniti, the all-new mid-size Q50 premium sedan, could not exist.

From its dynamic headlight shape to its crescent-cut C-pillar and purposeful sporting stance, the Infiniti Q50 embodies many of the most acclaimed design cues from its concept-car forebears in a spacious four-door body.

"The Q50 has Infiniti design DNA running through it," said Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti Executive Design Director. "A concept car to us is far more than a motor show indulgence. It is the canvas on which we paint our production car dreams. Now with the Q50 we see those dreams become real."

Infiniti design DNA is symbolized by design that is inviting, emotional and born of inspiration from both the human and natural worlds, elements perfectly captured by the new Infiniti Q50. But it is not only the Q50's exterior design that has been influenced by the Infiniti concept car trilogy - the interior too has benefited from designs and materials from Essence, Etherea and Emerg-E.

"Concept cars make the ideal test bed for the craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology that no Infiniti would be complete without," added Albaisa. "The materials and designs explored in the concept cars have had a big impact on the Q50, and are a large part of the reason the interior is so special."

Painstaking attention to detail and high quality finish are further examples of the influence the concept trilogy have wrought on the Q50. For example, the Q50's body brings not just a flowing new elegance to the class but construction techniques so precise that panel fit is among the best available.

FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY
Six ways in which Infiniti's famous concept car trilogy influenced the Q50

Headlights (Etherea, 2011)
The Q50's distinctive headlights have changed little since they first previewed on Etherea. With that concept as with the Q50, the lights are very much the car's "eyes." Says Albaisa: "The lights allow us to define the Infiniti face more clearly than ever, providing a unique visual signature, day or night." The light clusters incorporate daytime running lights formed out of a crescent of LEDs, a motif mirrored at the back where the lights are tautly stretched around the car in a way reminiscent of Essence.

Crescent-cut C-pillar (Essence, 2009)
One of Essence's most distinctive design cues, the crescent-cut C-pillar is used on the Q50 in its purest and most powerful form yet, injecting dynamism into the profile and ensuring the mid-size sedan will always be instantly recognizable. Alfonso Albaisa says: "Since Essence we have known this design of the C-pillar was going to play an important role in future Infiniti production cars."

Three-dimensional double-arch grille (Etherea, 2011)
The Infiniti double-arch grille - the top span representing the profile of a typical Japanese bridge, the lower span its reflection in the water - has long been an important part of the Infiniti "face." For the Q50, this grille takes on a more 3-dimensional look following the lead set by the grille design of the Etherea concept with its distinctive, highly crafted steel mesh finish. The Q50's appearance is further strengthened by the grille visually connecting to the base of the A-pillars.

Deep body section (Essence, 2009)
With its deep and steep body section the new Infiniti Q50 has some of the most complex surfaces of any car in its class. It is the result of inheriting design influences successfully advanced with Essence, whose wave-like body sections make the big luxury coupe's styling so dramatically advanced and effective. For the Q50 the results are just as effective, with the car benefiting from particularly powerful shoulders.

Asymmetrical cabin layout (Essence, 2009, and Emerg-E, 2012)
A driver focus in the cabin is an important part of any Infiniti - as is a welcoming and relaxing front passenger compartment. Essence, and later Emerg-E, managed to achieve both in the same car with a novel Yin-Yang approach, and it is this which the Infiniti Q50 brings into the showroom in production form. The result is an asymmetrical front compartment of two distinct areas, delineated by a line that curves elegantly across the centre console.

Interior finishes (Essence, Etherea and Emerg-E)
Modern interpretations of Asia's rich arts and crafts tradition are part of the appeal of Infiniti concept cars. They are far more to Infiniti than mere decoration, however. They are integral to who Infiniti is and what it stands for. As such many have a direct influence on the Q50, such as the aluminum inlays whose textures are based on intricate woven patterns.

Opposite for me: I like the front (minus he chrome accents), but the rear looks too much like a Camry to me.

Looking forward to seeing the 2-door, and of course the Z35 :yum:

Hmm. Let's hope that is indicative of a lighter Z.

I think we'll see a 100lb drop. I just hope that hundred pound drop is from the 3232lb of the 09 370z and not the almost 3300lbs of today.
