I still can't get over the kink in the rear windows. On the one hand, my god, it just looks dumb. On the other, if it weren't there, there wouldn't be a distinctive element there to separate it from the other luxury coupes. Overall, its a good looking car, but I don't think its going to expand the shopping base for the brand. If anything, I've become far less interested in Infiniti these past few years, and I still have yet to put my finger on why it is.

Because it looks like the design template melted in the sun before they hit production? Or that the cars are made of saltwater taffy? Or they're all named after f*Q-all?

I think it looks incredible :eek: The aero package complements the design of the Q60 IMO.

Just like the Eau Rouge concept, it will never reach production.
I wish Infiniti would make a crazy preformance car, all the other luxury brand have them.

Infiniti also doesn't sell as many cars as the others.

An interesting addition for a car I completely forgot was still on the market... a color-shift paint option, Black Opal Metallic, will be available on the Red Sport trim. Thanks to a shimmering iridescence, the Black Opal Metallic paint color shifts between blue, green, purple, and, of course, black, depending on where the viewer is standing, and what portion of the paint the light is catching.

The Q50 is now 10 years sans-facelift. In this segment, that's gotta be some kind of all time record, right? The E46 was around quite a while, but it got a facelift

Considering the Z platform is not, nor ever has been used for any SUV, not sure how you expect it

Current IS is nearly as old, but Lexus facelifted it a couple years ago. The E30 and E36 both lasted a long time without any real changes, but they basically had no competition beyond the oddball Pontiac or Alfa (in between dealer visits).
