All the SC300's! Have a few others in our group that couldn't make it.
That ES is one of my friends, he has a widebody he created on it... It's wider than a Raptor LOL. It's supercharged and he drives pretty quick in the canyons too, surprisingly.
That XC40 isn't a bad looking little CUV, though not the aesthetic of the XC60. How's it drive?
I like the way the XC40 drives much better compared to the XC60. I had the T6 engine in my XC60 and the power delivery was uneven at times. Power delivery with the T5 engine in the XC40 is smoother and feels more responsive. Surprisingly, the suspension/ride quality is better in the XC40. The XC60 ride was a little harsh at times. I test drove a V60 Cross Country and they must have tweaked the suspension a little, because that was smoother compared to my XC60. Due to XC40's smaller size, it handles a lot better in corners.
The XC60 has a little nicer interior and seats. If I had to carry around passengers in the back on a regular basis, then I would probably get an XC60 for the extra room.
I'm not sure if I've seen an XC40 on the road yet. Love how the newer XC60 looks, but would definitely take a V60 over both.
Did your XC60 have a 'sport' pkg (if Volvo has something like that)? I know my C is much firmer/harsher than a non-sport pkg C. Stiffer/lower springs & 19" wheels.
Got some new summer wheels after being my DD for 5 years
I've always thought the newer Q series (especially the newer Coupes) are gorgeous cars.
Recently drove a 3.0T Q50 that my buddy had as a rental and was pretty surprised. Trans wasn't great but, you could see a lot of potential powertrain wise in general.

That's pretty much all Infiniti has going for them as the rest of the fleet is just, meh. The Eau Rouge variant of the Q50 would've been supreme tits but it became a vaporcar like the Mugen Legend Max.

Damn, I completely forgot about the Eau Rouge. I mostly remember a bunch of people making fun of the name.
I get why they probably canned it, but a massive shame given that they already had a road-ready example.
It was better than the Juke-R or whatever, anyway.

Same thing with me - first time I saw it at the auto show I decided I had to get one. Mine is one year before they put the VR in the Q50 so I have the same VQ37 as the G37. I drive a lot for work so wanted NA reliability (and the exhaust note).

When I worked at the dealer (which is when I got mine) I thought Infiniti was going to have so much going for it with all of the new features and remodels being released. But then the past few years have been a disappointment of minimal updates and nothing really exciting. With the current lineup if I needed to get a new car tomorrow, I'd probably end up at Audi.

No sport package. I had a Momentum trim. I had the 20 inch wheels, which probably didn't help. They required XL tires and came equipped with Continental Cross Contacts that were terrible.
The XC40 is based on the newer compact modular architecture. The CMA uses a different suspension setup. It does a better job absorbing bumps while still feeling a little sporty.
IMO the small SUV market is starting to really improve in terms of aesthetics. I think they look better with longer hoods and a larger frontal area. The new X3 and Mach-E are good examples of that.

I don't think it's a stupid name, it had better hold up its namesake though if it's going to be named after one of the most famous corner names (daunting) on the F1 circuit. With the figures I've seen of the car, it is no poseur.
Not too shabby-bro has a 650 'vert with a lot of engine work done.He still is 100 hp shy of me so it was easy to keep up to him. Hit 130 on the back straight.I'm waiting for a video to finish processing so you can see a slow, one-handed lap behind a slow ass 'Vette that was driven poorly. I blew past him coming out of the Out Loop and sweeping down hill in to the Boot.
