Not a lot of describing to be done here. I think it's a good car that more people should consider, and I wish Infiniti would give us a big V8 RWD sedan again. The Q45 was, in all 3 generations, a way to be different from all your Mercedes and Lexus driving friends. It was also, in the first and third generation, something of a hotrod. This one has the 340hp 4.5 V8, and those cool headlights. For some, the styling may be a bit Maxima, but I like it, because it doesn't look like every other square, upright luxury car on the road. It has a more high performance look to it. I know it's popular with the "VIP" tuning crowd, but what about the rest of you? And yes, I may try to sway negative opinions, because I'm a jerk like that.

It's a good looking car all around, and unique. But the VIP YO crowd has already fucked the shit up.

Far too bland for me. I bet insurance and maintenance is a lot cheaper than ze Germans though.

Big win, big yes. But good luck finding one that hasn't been ruined.

That V8 isn't just any engine. It's a homologation engine for Super GT GT500 racing and is way over-engineered.

Big RWD V8 Infiniti sedan?

You mean the Infiniti M56s

The Q always seemed pretty bland to me, except the engine.

It's called the Q70 now, for some reason. And I want bigger still!

that was just my feeling about the Q. You can get 100k+ mile 2006-2008 M35 for under $10k

These had the most powerful headlights in the world when they came out and for like, 2 years after. I've never heard anyone else reference that when designing a car before but I thought that was cool. The interiors are cheaper than you'd think a 60-70k car would have, but apparently ok to drive. 345 hp and 333 lb ft makes for decent acceleration.

These are amazing. One of very few non-Mercedes/euro cars I would love to own. But so rare!
