I quite like them. They look nice.

Agreed. Now they just need a manual trans. in them!

A good friend of mine bought one of the first ones off the line. He loves the look of it, but it's been nothing but software glitch after software glitch from day one. Of course, that's just one of the woes of owning the very first of a brand-new car.

As do I. I would actually rank as one of my favorite compact luxury vehicles, right up there with the ATS.
If I had the money, I'd DD a Q50s AWD in a heartbeat. Especially in that awesome red.

I like the way they look, but after being in and around my parent's G37x I don't think the Q50 is a very good choice.

Not my cup of tea. Looks a bit melted up front.

My buddy is obsessed with the Q50 (transferring his obsession with getting a G-coupe to the new buying sector).
I can't say I agree with him. Looks-wise, eh...you get over the front and I just am not impressed. I spent some time in one at an auto show and it's not for me. It just seemed so...so...meh.
A lot of meh.
Just doesn't do it for me. Perhaps it is because so many G35s and G37s are driven by people in my office that I am so numb to it.

two of my neighbors have G37s. One is white, and one is a grey G37s.

I'm amazed at the extreme swings Infinti's have gone through in popularity (and quality). With the G35 and G37, initially they were loved, but now, they seem antiquated and uncomfortable. For some reason, the same G's I used to like driving feel lurchy and the arm rest is in the wrong place and the door always scrapes my knee etc etc.....
The Q50 is one of the most entertaining cars I've driven lately, at least the Hybrid with the drive-by-wire, video game-like steering feedback. But it's full of compromises, i.e., nearly all of your trunk space. For 50-60grand, there are better options. Even in the used market, there are 535 or 550 M sport models I would take over the Q any day.

Nice up front, atrocious out back.

I like the looks, but after having driven my wife's G37X I'm convinced that the engine needs a lot more torque. I do like the way the G37's steering feels, but I don't know how that translates to the Q50. In short, they need a sport model with horsepower in the upper 300s and torque at least in the mid-300s.

I'm not usually a fan of Japanese luxury cars.... But this thing is the coolest looking 4 door sports car I have seen in quite some time.

Not a fan of the styling, too many compromises for a RWD platform, too much unnecessary tech. I'd rather have a V6 Camry.

I have a feeling Lexus was like "YES! We've made our line interesting looking!".. then an intern ran in saying "Hey guys, have you seen Infiniti's new front e... oh... sorry boss"... then the boss yells "Just make our grills go all the way to the ground and fan it out so they don't think we copied them. I don't need to see the final product. Just sell it.." Infiniti wont

I love how they look, but I don't think I care much about the drive-by-wire steering they have in there. Nevertheless, I do want to try it for myself.
