I bought a new G35 over a TL, C300, and 328i in 2008. I was impressed with the acceleration, handling, design, and Bose Studio On Wheels audio system with three 10" subwoofers including one in each front door. I was less impressed with interior noises (creaks, buzzes, and rattles) that developed and the bi-xenon headlights would sometimes cycle on and off by themselves in full daylight.

I was very impressed with the power and handling of the Q60 I drove on an autocross course at the TAWA Texas Auto Roundup earlier this year. Infiniti doesn't have quite the brand panache of Lexus, BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz, or perhaps even Acura, but if that doesn't bother you they can be a really good value - especially lightly used.

@zroger73 ...my wife had a 2012 G37xS (MSRP was $52K back in 2012 and we did it CPO in 2013 with 12K miles for $30,500) and that car was solid as a rock...zero issues and no creeks or rattles...very quiet minus road noise. I would agree that Infiniti does not have the "panache" of a BMW, MB or Audi. However, I think Infiniti is right there with Lexus and a notch above Acura but my purchasing a vehicle has zero to do with the "panache" factor. We seriously looked at the new Genesis G70 too which is an awesome car with great reviews. Some would say it's just a "Hyundai" which is a point that can be easily argued and debunked...just read all the car mags that said the G70 is a better car than the BMW 3-Series. We didn't buy because the back seat is very tight and she felt more comfortable in the Q50 than the G70. In my personal opinion...anyone that cares more about what other folks think about the car that you drive and solely buy based on brand cache...then they have other serious issues that they need to overcome

Enjoy your car. It is a sweet looking car. I have mine 2018 Q50S (300hp) for almost a year, but I am anxious for my lease to be over as I do not like/enjoy it as much as I thought I would - I guess the grass is not always greener on the other side.

A sports car doesn't have to be a two seater. But the car in question here is most definitely not a sports car, at least not to any self-respecting car enthusiast. It's more of a grand touring sedan than anything else.

Don't get mad at me because you clearly don't know the difference between a sports car and a grand touring car. That Infiniti is as much of a sports car as Jeep Wrangler is a driver's car.

Not mad at you at all Tom. You’re still an @$$.
