My parents decided to mid-life crisis a few years ago and bought a 2011 328xi. They’ve enjoyed it, but the warranty runs out soon, so they’re looking at replacement options. Right now my dad is interested in another 3 series or possibly an MKZ (strange choices, I know). Anyway, someone near my office has a gorgeous black Q70 and I thought I’d check them out and possibly suggest it to my dad.

Anybody have any experience with them?

I think ImmoralMinority has one.

Looks like it has at least two wheels. So that’s a plus.

Second or third hand owners. Flat-brimmed folk. Former Altima owners and the like.

Even better: I believe it’s also a LWB

As a Toyota convert, I tried, but my dad hates the Predator grille.

Counterpoint 2

I really think the Genesis and the GS are one of the handsomest mid-sedans out there.

Yes I believe you are correct. And while it is not Sunchaser I do believe he enjoys it.

I’ll have to look into those.

It would be cool if we could drop notifications to users by mentioning them in posts like you can on forums.

I can understand his position. I find that grill so offensive that I will probably never be able to own any car that sports it, no matter how good they actually are.
