Im going to swing by the local dealership on the way home today. I agree that the IS looks smaller and I think that Infiniti's idea was to distance the car a bit from the outgoing G37. Although it fills the same slot in the line up I think globally it will serve to bring the Infiniti brand up so it getting larger, wider, WAY more tech, and a boost in refinement as well as the better looking sheet metal. The old G was getting bulbous and kind of amorphous . Man I still remember beating the crap out of a G37 loaner car and I was BLOWN AWAY by the performance compared to my GS350. It was so much sportier, handled better, had paddle shifters, rev matched on down shift, and cost about 8k less and was still comparable in size to my GS ( not even a direct competitor). I am sure this new one will be great, especially once they tweak it in 3 years, like they do all models

I will say the Infiniti service department where I live is way better than the Lexus one in terms of customer service. That may sway me too...

The G37 is an awesome car. Really great performer. If you test drive the IS350 and Q50, i bet the difference in overall performance will be very small. The cars are all very competitive in this segment. I'm gonna see if my kids fit okay in the IS350...if not, I may have to get the Q50 just for practical reasons ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

With pricing at 54k for a loaded one its still cheaper than a loaded GS 450h that will run over 10k more AND has more power than the G450h. I think the Q50 will be battling in its segment and even above its segment

This is crazy. The price drop hurts resale of the G37 not to mention the name change to Q50. They said all this effort was to move everything to Q, even changing all the existing models to that letter and they will still sell a G?? The car will be nearly 10 years old in 2015.
They have a $299 G37 lease deal already nationally, that is a TON of car for the money, nothing is close. That is 320 money.
Really crazy and its surely for volume, or lack of it.

paper specs are so awesome... so far every review on Infiniti hybrid system and Q50 has been pretty mediocre to bad.

i would want to get G37S if I wasnt sucker for having always the latest car... but otherwise, it is a really great deal.... loaded Camry or G37S... hmmm, "tough choice" (not!)

The Q50 gets better mpg than even a GS450h and has more power !! Pretty damn impressive for a car that isnt even in the GS list of competitors . Anyone who has driven an Infiniti or owns one knows that handling is their strong suit and I am pretty sure they will get this new Q50 sorted out FAST. They kind of have to. The sports package can be fitted with summer tires and Im sure its pretty damn easy for the company to source newer batter tires for their lesser models. With prices like they are I cant imagine many would avoid the extra bells and whistles or even the sport
Still amazed at how cheap leases on the G37 are right now. Straight up did a double take when I saw the pricing on the net. Also seems like they may sell the G37 along side of the Q50.

With the size and features it can almost run with the GS450h ( dont flame me for saying it). MKZ , although it is a very nice looking , is not in same league.

Its sad b/c from what I've seen so far the Q50 is very nice and all this confusion and lack of clear direction isn't the car's fault.
