very nice updates and changes, but I haven't gotten that feeling like I'm missing out on the newest greatest or anything like that.
Still waiting to see what the coupe has to offer though.

Yeah I read it again and realized my booboo... still... I may actually consider a hybrid in the future if the performance really is that much better. Only a test drive this summer will be able to tell me. Even so, I'm at minimum, 2 years away from upgrading. Who knows what will be out by then.

From the website:
"Personalized drive modes - Infiniti’s ground-breaking Direct Adaptive Steering system, lets you customize your ride with four driver-selectable steering modes. Choose Touring, Sport or Standard modes to reflect the needs of the drive or simply your mood. And in Custom mode, steering effort and response can be personalized, freeing you to command the road on your terms."
Hopefully that means that there is a setting in that system for everyone :P

I see that the Q50 has a split fold-down rear seat, a very handy feature. Much better than the pass-through behind the rear armrest. Do you know if the Q50 has ventilated front seats? I haven't had a chance to check the new specs yet. I was surprised that my parents Maxima has ventilated front seats, but the current G does not offer them.
the autoblog article mentioned something about SMS...which seems very much possible.

I will be interested in the performance of the hybrid. The M35h did mid 13's between 104-108 mph and that thing is 4000 lb's.
I bet the Q hybrid should be 0-60 about 4.8-4.9 and 1/4 mile low 13's. All depending on the weight of the car. That is right with the 335i and very close to S4 straight line performance.

It’s a shame to say it…because I truly love this new Sedan, but the no-manual is the deal breaker. My lease is up in February of 2014 and at that point in time, I will return my keys to Infiniti and buy me a cheap *** beater and wait for the reveal of the coupe, which will have the 6MT.
Only reason I bought the Sedan is because it looks better to me than the G37 Coupe, and this new Q50 is truly a beautiful car, but it is not for me. The Q60 Coupe 6MT will be the car for me.

A lot of the technology looks impressive and definitely in keeping up with MB, BMW, Lexus, etc...
Although until I can test it first hand I am always weary of things adaptive such as transmission or steering. It could be hit or miss with the 7AT it was definitely miss.
I do like their efforts to integrate the latest app technology into the car though.

I hope so, but there's plenty of time for Infiniti to change their minds on that... I don't know if offering a Q60 6MT is consistent with the vision of the new president or not. Also, it's quite likely that they won't be offering 6MT with the hybrid.
