^ 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.

mj_39 has a good point. A basic G37 Sedan is looking like a pretty old design.
However, lightly modified for visuals, or just by having the Sport Package, and it still stands out as beautiful, IMO.

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.
I think the hybrid sport front is nice but the back and side profiles are boring.
Anyways, I'm not too excited about the whole steering column not tilt / tele for adjustment, just the steering wheel is tilt / tele, small sunshades (I know it's very minor)
Also, not really a fan of the 'double arched' instrument hood, preferred single hood for the instrument cluster
On the bright side they basically added most of the features I wanted on the G37; turn signals in the side mirrors & body, tilt-down reverse mirror function, rain-sensing wipers, AFS headlights, laser cruise control, hybrid gas mileage
Does anyone know if there will be cooled seats as an option?

For a similar price point (the loaded Q50 that is) this might be worth a look too!

I test drove the Q50 Yesterday and was NOT impressed.
The styling is boring in person and the wheels are hideous
The interior is average at best with hideous gauges.
The front bumper difference between the Sport and Base model are hardly noticeable.
I'm truly hoping the front on the new Q Coupe looks nothing like the Q50 Sedan. Its not nearly aggressive enough.
I went to test drive the new IS350 F Sport after, that car has great curves, looks 100 percent better then the Q, was funner to Drive, and had amazing interior from the red leather to the gauges
The only thing that stood out more in the Q was the navigation and extra touch screen for apps.

I do not regret my 2013 G37s Sedan. But looking at the new Q50S looks damn sexy, I was able to see the differences between the Q50 and Q50S and there is a pretty noticeable difference from both. I did not think the rims looked that hideous, interior felt like they did not change much from the G37. The Q navigation and extra screen was a pretty cool feature. I will look into the Q50 when and if they are still around in the next 10 years, as I usually keep my cars for that long.
I would get the Q50S most definitely!

Wow.. when I was at my dealer (NJ) on Saturday I was told the 5 vehicles they had could not be driven, period. They needed a software update, and the offical release date wasn't until August 5th or 6th.. They wouldn't even put one in the showrrom yet..

They actually told me the same thing...The sales rep had to drive it off the lot and back on the lot... the Q50S I Test Drove had over 100 miles on it haha...You didn't miss much believe me, I have a friend who's buying a new sedan and couldn't wait to show him the Q, after the test drive it killed me to say that every other car we test drove that day was better in every aspect

The feel of the car was great, I really didn't get that much time behind the wheel, it was a short test drive on the freeway and off. The acceleration wasn't too thrilling, i've had the current G37 Sedan as a loaner vehicle numerous times and i can tell you that car is a lot funner to drive. The handling on the Q was an improvement.
