Here we go!
We've been eagerly anticipating the first words on the all-new 2014 Infiniti Q50. That's because this is easily the brand's biggest seller and the vehicle that I believe will help us forecast the direction Audi's former leader, Johan de Nysschen, will take the Japanese automaker.
From what I've read it appears in this review that, frankly, the results of this review really vary depending on the driver and the kind of vehicle they're looking for. Given that the highlight of the new Q50 is that the vehicle can essentially drive itself is rather worrisome as the G37 was the Japanese "driver's car" that could do battle with a BMW 3-Series, arguably the European benchmark. I wonder if Infiniti even knows the customers it's trying to steal away from the likes of Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz.
Essentially, the conclusion is clear. It's definitely the automaker's best vehicle to date but if you're a numbers junkie and
need to brag about the times your car can put down at the drag strip it won't be for you. In addition, it seems that Infiniti has taken a new route in making its vehicles rolling sensors with four wheels at the corners.
Seems like the marque has decided to go head-to-head with Lexus and call it a day...

The styling is solid, modern, and unique without looking ridiculous like the new Lexus IS. But is that enough to play in this category? For buyers looking for more tech than driving enjoyment, this is their car...
