Another less-than-stellar review, this time by MotorTrend: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...0s_first_test/
Waiting on C&D to weigh in.

I wouldn't call that a bad review. Remember this is the first year model. I had the original 2003 G35 I purchased in June in 2002. I was literally one of the first people in the country to have one. It was a great car but had MANY tweaks in revisions in the first 2-3 years. After 2006 they were pretty solid and spot on. I am sure they will be tweaking this new top seller in the near future.

Difference is that the G35 won Car of the Year and many many many reviews were GLOWING relative to the competition. Compare those reviews with the latest for the Q50 and i don't see the Q50 winning many of these comparos. I also have a G35 coupe and relative to the competition, it was the best car in the class at the time. Since that time, i've driven every iteration after and the drive doesn't feel much different...it seems they really haven't improved all that much since then Sure materials have improved and the car has become more refined but nothing has made me run out and replace my current coupe. The Q50 is a variant of the last gen G37 in terms of chassis...seems like another evolutionary step for the next 8 years.

hahaha. Cool name Think i'm gonna give the IS350 F-sport a hard look. If I hear of a mid-cycle engine refresh, i'd definitely wait for it

As usual with Nissan, quality is skin deep :-)

If you want the truth, based on driving-dynamics, Mazda is probably the true Poor Man's BMW. Buick, at least to an to an extent, is now becoming the Poor Man's Lexus.

Wow, the more real-life photos I see of this "thing", the more comical it looks .
It's like an exaggerated version of the Infiniti M, almost like a Japanese Hyundai.
