Curious thing though, where's the spoiler? Are they talking about the general shape of the trunk?echoing the newly subtle lip spoiler
Wondering the same thing. Where is this lip of which they speak?Curious thing though, where's the spoiler? Are they talking about the general shape of the trunk?

I believe it to be the cute little pouty lip integrated into the rear decklid! lolWondering the same thing. Where is this lip of which they speak?![]()
Not these days. There were many automatics in the 80's and early 90's that had a pull e-brake.Ok, let me rephrase that: I can't think of any automatic cars put the e-brake there.
I only drove my own DAS. Not as connected as the G37, but felt pretty identical to my M's steering.They seemed to rather strongly dislike DAS. Has anyone here test driven a DAS and non-DAS Q50 back to back for comparison's sake?

Disagree that the GS is a spectacular interior, although the widescreen is very nice. And the A4. Boring.I test drove a Q50S Hybrid on Saturday. I currently drive a 2007 335i under extended warranty (paid for itself 3x over) that I'm in love with but also realizing it needs to go before the extended warranty does. Test drives are too short to get a great feel for the car but the Q50 is a very nice ride. I wasn't crazy about the steering feel and would prefer it with some of the tech but not the DAS - does Infiniti eventually offer individual components as options or is it alway package-based (a la BMW)? I know it can be disabled but I'd rather not pay for it at all.
I've driven the 2013 328i and while it's not a bad car it's a far cry from the rawness and directness of my current car. Also drove the IS350 (not interested in that front end), GS350 (a steal right now with spectacular interior) and an A4 (solid choice and maybe best bang for the buck).
I probably won't buy a Q50 unless it's hybrid - most of my driving is city, but I can't see paying the current $53K + tax they want for a loaded one. Maybe in several months when incentives hit. 335i warranty is good for another 20K miles or next March so I have time to shop and mull it over.
Other comments - neat tech, much nicer interior than the IS350 or 328i, probably on par with the A4, but the run flats suck - at highway speeds there was a loud roar indicative of RFT suckage I'm familiar with from BMW.
The materials in the GS350 are better than anything else I've driven. It competes with the A6, 5 Series, E Series, Infiniti M, etc. That said they didn't have an F-Sport on the lot and without it it's too floaty. The IS350 handles well (even without F Sport) but the interior and front-end are show-stoppers.Disagree that the GS is a spectacular interior, although the widescreen is very nice. And the A4. Boring.
Sounds like a reasonable move letting everything settle down a little bit. Perhaps by Christmas they'd have specials.I test drove a Q50S Hybrid on Saturday.
