Description: We've known for some time that Infiniti's new BMW 3 Series fighter, the Q50, will replace the outgoing and unexciting G sedan. And aside from its striking Zen-like exterior design, the Q50 w...Add Comments27
Andrew DAmicoApr 10, 2013 For the first time I actually would consider buying an Infiniti I nope they make all of their new models like this and not the ugly ones they try to call cars now lmao
Tin NguyenFeb 08, 2013 This whole naming thing is confusing. They had a q45 which was their flagship sedan and the m was middle weight and the I was light weight. Now they are switching things around. Q50 is entry level and M55 is flagship?
Tin NguyenFeb 08, 2013 Q? I thought Q was their flagship just like how the LS is to Lexus.
Zaire WilkinsFeb 07, 2013 Calm your ball sacks its just an option
Carlton GreenFeb 07, 2013 Like Dylan said - Stick with the VQ. Drop a GTR engine in your sedan and make a M5 fighter Cmon
Carlton GreenFeb 07, 2013 What is Infiniti doin? Why partner with Red Bull? Just to do a special edition SUV? Cmon.... Im havin serious doubts about their corporate leadership.
Jacob BurfordFeb 07, 2013 So much for any red bull formula 1 tech going in there cars!
Cian Mac GearailtFeb 07, 2013 Renault owns 49% of nissan and they own 15% of renault. Anyway ssangyong used the Mercedes 2.7 5 cyl. It did work out well although the engines are the only good thing about there cars
Leonard Pai ChidamwoyoFeb 07, 2013 Isn't Nissan owned or part owned by Renault l know Nissan uses Renault diesels
Andy ClouthierFeb 07, 2013 I'm already tired of their new naming scheme.
Author Norman R. ColsonFeb 07, 2013 Putting a Mercedes engine which costs more to maintain when you already have powerful Japanese engines makes no sense! Who made this decision?!
Zaire WilkinsFeb 07, 2013 Wow did you guys not know nissan and daimler has been partners for 2 in a half years now.
Michael MoschonikolakisFeb 07, 2013 Nissan makes award winning engines. They make the GTR. They are affordable to maintain. Mercedes parts are garbage and very expensive to maintain. Dumb move by Nissan.
Ashton SummersFeb 07, 2013 Nothing new or shocking. Automakers are so promiscuous anyway. If they were humans, they'd have more STD's than a hippy in the 60's
Victor PittsFeb 07, 2013 Well, you've got Toyota with BMW and Nissan has Benz :)
Carlos Eduardo GaviriaFeb 07, 2013 Doesn't Nissan have plenty of good engines to put on this thing
Andrey LobkoFeb 07, 2013 Own a g37x and an fx35. Better than any of 5 c and e class Mercedes sedans I've owned from 1996 - 2006.
Aaron SparksFeb 07, 2013 Borrowing power from Mercedes? I'm starting to seriously question the long term viability of the Infiniti brand.
Jimmy WilliamsFeb 07, 2013 Unless this is a diesel, I see very few benefits to this. Why would they hurt their reliability ratings for slightly better engines? Weird choice.
Mark Fei LingFeb 07, 2013 AMG? Diesel? Or big bi-turbo V8?
Quinn BeaupréFeb 07, 2013 I find the g sedan to be way cooler looking than this.
Description: No technical details have been released just yet but with styling like this and some good old German engineering and power, this could be the model that Infiniti has long been crying out for. After po...Add Comments8
Ashton SummersFeb 07, 2013 Read recently a survey by warranty direct british insurance co. Not sure how accurate the survey is, but it ranks MB 3rd in engine reliability behind Toyota and Honda. Failure rate was 1 in 119. Nissan was 1:76 Audi 1:27 again, not sure on accuracy.
Ashton SummersFeb 07, 2013 @ nXs, I would say that modern Mercedes Engines tend to be reliable. Most issues with modern cars tend to be electrical. Some of the older 4 bangers would get some noise in the cams, nothing catastrophic, timing chains on the old 3.8L V8 would go bad
Zaire WilkinsFeb 07, 2013 Chrysler still uses the last gen mercedes E class drivetrain just has been updated
Henz HerreroFeb 07, 2013 You do know not everyone who will buy this will know that it has a benz engine right.. If they didnt make this news, i wudnt have known that..
Mike KlareFeb 07, 2013 Why own a Mercedes anymore
Didn't they learn from Chrysler
Aaron SparksFeb 07, 2013 The poor marketing department at Infiniti. "We've built a new car to compete against Mercedes but i'ts powered by a Mercedes engine. Figure out how to sell that!"
Jacob BurfordFeb 08, 2013 Oh please! Acura and Infiniti are jokes! The only one that is decent is Lexus, and I would like to mention that Hyundai isn't ever Japanese!
Zaire WilkinsFeb 07, 2013 Acura lexus and infiniti and close up coming hyundai are good at the luxury game
Jacob BurfordFeb 07, 2013 Terrible grill, Altima headlights, unclean lines! Looks horrid like every other Infiniti! There is a reason why I'd never buy a Japanese luxury car! They all look dull or ugly!
Drew HumphreyFeb 07, 2013 Finally the grille looks a little less like a fish!
Mike LamFeb 07, 2013 They have had the Q45 since the 90s so I assume it's just a sequential generation VVV
Adam BeiersdorferFeb 07, 2013 I'm sure they had to go that route because Audi already has the Q1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 all tagged or future models... So they HAD to add a zero... Haha
Bala UnccFeb 07, 2013 I still don't understand the reason for 50 in Q50
Paul SmolinFeb 07, 2013 I would actually disagree, look in to Buick interior, personal opinions looks allot better then hyundai looking interior witch this reminds me of.
Zaire WilkinsFeb 07, 2013 Please dont ever get mixed up with this and a caddy. Imo all GM cars have fugly interiors. Now this is an interior you pay. Plus this is standard
Mike ConradFeb 07, 2013 Infiniti is Nissan, Tyler.
Ron VinsonFeb 07, 2013 Looks like the new Cadillac interiors.
Thai-Chau HaFeb 07, 2013 Knowing you got the best of German engineering. A lower cost to repair and maintenance, relatively. It is not an arm and a leg every time. Styling is aggressive. I can see this as a daily driver because wouldn't mind getting in and out of this.
Thai-Chau HaFeb 07, 2013 Very nice steering wheels. Not over done or plain looking.
Hope******

AWD is an option too

That's surprising
Maybe Mercedes hit them with the "join the dark side, we have cookies" line
Is this a joke isn't Infiniti trying to beat Mercedes not join them
