Default Infiniti Q50

The new Infiniti Q50.

Not quite sure I dig the styling just yet or the new (old ?) nomenclature. The coupe will be telling, look forward to it's debut.

Styling looks nice. A bit disappointing they didn't do much (anything?) to the engine from the previous generation.

It looks kind of like a Jag, MB, and Ford mash up, with a Lexus nose.

Infiniti kind of fell of the desirability radar for me after the second-gen G came out. They softened the first-gen's clean and purposeful lines-- turned it to mush, basically.

It's difficult to stand out without going overboard with styling. This third-gen might be a mild improvement over the current version, but it's not compelling enough to really re-capture attention/desirability.

I like the rear fenders and the back of the car. Front is a little iffy but overall, I like it a lot!

Those look better. The melty-car theme is finally starting to come together for Infiniti.

Fenders forward that is one of the best looking cars I've ever seen.. Really! I love the headlight and grill treatment. Overall it's a great blend of aggressive "toughness" with enough feminine touches to bring it all together gracefully. The ONLY reason I wouldn't buy it over a BMW 3/4 would be drivetrain. I wish Nissan still offered hard hitting I6s. An evolved RB with a 6M would be amazing.
