So what on the run flats.. get the optional spare, burn through the run flats replace with regualr tires... BFD

Exactly how I feel, complaining about run flats is pretty nit picky if you ask me. Buy car --> sell run flats--> buy tires of choice = End of story... Spending 45-50K on a car yet bothered about $1000-$1500 on tires? Plus you will recoup most of that when you sell the run flats. I really don't see how its this big of a deal.

I agree with some of the people that Lexus IS350 look better. The whole car basically look like a nissan maxima. I thought I saw the new Q the other day on the road but end up it was a Maxima. I don't think you want to pay 50000 for a car that look like a car that is way cheaper in price than the new Q.

Quoted for truth. I got a kick out of this being a deal breaker for some folks. Any buyer worth a crap can simply negotiate a different set of tires of their choice as a condition of purchase.

And are run flats standard equipment on all Q50s or just the hybrid models that lack a spare tire because of the battery pack?

If someone actually said that, I'd probably get a kick out of it too.

So I was at my dealer today to get an oil change and they had five brand new Q50's on the lot. They couldn't put them out yet, and they had them stashed way in the back. Car's also can't be driven yet since they need a software update, and the official release is August 5th or 6th I think. Anyway very interesting the base model is a Q50a not sure that or why the "a" I suspect everyone will pull that off.. The Hybrids they has two S AWD Hybrids looked nice the "S" on the Hybrids is a shimmering blue the "S" on the gas models is red.. go figure.. The AWD S models gets the sport brake setup and it no longer looks like it's on stilts.. Overall I F>>KING love the car it looks great I think it makes the G37 look old and dated.. the interior is nicer it looks lower and wider and sleeker.. I will own one.. soon.. the sales manger promised me a deal to get me out of my 13.. hahaha we'll see, of course I have bought 4 cars from them... if I could do it for a few grand out of pocket and a not crazy increase in my monthly payments I'll do it sooner than later but a Q50S AWD will be my next ride.. anyway took a few pictures.. for those that haven't seen it in the flesh I'd say wait until you do.. I think you'll like it..

I have been looking for a month and a half at G's. Dealer said the incentives will not be there on the Q's what so ever. Due to the amount of pre-orders and fanfare, they are going to sell as is.

Looking at the Q50 window sticker on the previous post it shows the mpg rating as 19 city/27 hwy. Isn't that the same as the G37 sedan auto?
I thought the new model weighed a few hundred pounds less. It also has electric steering and no spare so where did they gain any fuel mileage by incorporating these changes?

Why would Infiniti incentivize a brand new model?? Heck it's not even for sale yet.. give it 6 months.. eventually there'll be deals..

I saw one on the freeway today. It had manufacture plates. Meh. I'm still not impressed with the looks. But whatevers. Looks are subjective, and there has been enough debate on that already. Yes, it makes the G looks dated, but that is the nature of a new model. It doesn't make it better.

^ would you be impressed if you saw a stock g37 sedan drive by you? I know im not...Most of our cars on this forum are modded to make them look better. I think most of us look at it through those eyes.. however stock for stock the q50 demands attention and stands out while the g37 sedan never did/does STOCK. That's how I feel.
