Actually, that came from OC Infiniti. Stillen posted it and I just reshared in on my page. This is a trainers vehcile and these usually go around the country for a couple of months before they are crushed. Usually when the trainer brings the car, they are 3 months out. We saw the Q50 in April, and it came out in August. The QX30 we saw in April and will be out end of July is from what I guess. I'm gonna touch the coupe in August but guessing we are at the end of the cycle this time because it should be out by Sept. This is all speculation of course but nothing solid. I still think we will see pricing and order guides leak or release next month.

The grill, with or without the small headlights overpowers the rest. On the opposite end, the integrated rear spoiler looks silly, an afterthought, and should be more aggressive looking. I guess integrated spoilers are the 'in' thing now though. And no, you're not the only one who thinks the rear reflector/black wavy plastic ruins the rear bumper. Useless! And, speaking of useless, the chrome 'gills' behind the front wheels.
I'm asking, do they serve any purpose at all? If not, they should NOT be there. Decorative crap, same as with the '3.0t' emblem. No one cares, heck, most people won't/don't even know what that means. 
I realize it's fairly easily removed, but still. The most noticeable thing, which I like, is the fact that it is wider than the G37, which gives it a bit more aggressive appearance. Which is why a more aggressive spoiler would look better. I believe its overall lower in height as well. Taillights and headlights are nice, even that 'cut-in' look on the quarter window does not look as bad as I thought it did originally, well, except for the chrome. The best thing is the motor. 
additional things I miss
1) No more adjustable gauge cluster.
2) Why move the shift paddles to the steering wheel. These should be kept in a fixed position (like on the Q50!!) Putting it on the steering wheel just makes them harder to use while you are maneuvering the car. having them in the fixed position- you always know where they are when maneuvering.
3) Why get rid of the thigh bolster extensions in the S ?? They kept them in the Q50S

I got the Infiniti newsletter in the email today and it said to stay tuned for an exclusive reservation opportunity for the upcoming Q60...whatever that means.

The weird thing is that there is a Red S on the trunk badge but not the 3.0t like on the Q50. The production version at the shows had it.......

A few weird things I've noticed in the pictures of the white "trainer" car.
Chrome trim pieces look idiotic, they should be black chrome or carbon fiber to look like the car is from this century, even painted the same color as the rest of the car would look better than chrome IMHO.
No more thigh bolsters? That was my favorite sport seat feature.
Exhaust tips with weird holes will be a b%#ch to keep clean.
They picked a terrible set of wheels, they look like they belong on a base model camry.
Hofmeister kink has never looked good on any car, they should just drop it.
Black plastic fake rear bumper air vents look terrible on any color other than black. Actually they look terrible on black as well.
Where do you attach a front plate on this bumper? It seems like it will look stupid no matter where you attach it.
Where's LSD???

I wouldn't ever put a front license plate on this (or any other) car anyways (legal or not), but that is a good question - there isn't any place to put it. It doesn't look like it can even go in that grill area, unless it covers up the infiniti emblem.

My guess is it will probably go on the side with a weird wedge shaped license plate base like on EVOs.

Yes! It kept throwing me for a loop because I kept thinking wow the non-sport has a BBK too! The other thing that looks off is the Mt.Fuji on the front grille...it looks like its printed on a flat piece of plastic and tacked on....?

You know that looks like a temp fix. I bet the bracket goes on the top portion of the bumper that is under the grill and the plate sits on the line of the bottom grill. Like the top of the plate over laps the bottom if the grill. I'm just guessing tho.
