First Drive: 2014 Infiniti Q50 | TheDetroitBureau.com

Why did he keep calling it the QX50... Right off the bat he had me confused because he said QX50, and I forgave him, but then he did it again and I wasn't sure if he was talking about future vehicles or the current one. How dare he!

Yeah, between that and his poor grammar, I gave up about a paragraph or two in after scanning it. Really lazy writing.

WHAT??!! You mean that something written for others to read is supposed to have good grammar, syntax and spelling? Don't you know that those things don't matter any more? Just ask a few of the younger posters on here.(for those new to the forum, that is my sarcasm to the max).

 

[Q50Aggie]

Exactly, I stopped reading when he called it the QX50. lol

I did too! I figured they hadn't a clue.

It's by Paul Eisenstein. He is relatively well-regarded as far as auto journos go. Oh well.

Edit - that review is horrible. Seems like the writer phoned it in, and it shows.

I enjoyed the part where it said:

"The personal setting allowed us to opt for the middle ground on steering, for example, and soften up the suspension just a bit while still getting the boost out of the drivetrain we wanted."

Woohoo! We get adjustable suspension!

I was about to say, I'm not a hater, I just have a critical eye and when things are that bad, I gotta be honest.

Both the gas engines are pleasantly quick, though Infiniti emphasizes performance as much as fuel economy with the Q50 Hybrid estimated to launch from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, about four tenths faster than the 3.7-liter V-6.

Sorry to break your bubble, but there is no adjustable suspension. You can only adjust engine, transmission and DAS steering.

 

[afrosheen]

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

You can't honestly expect a Detroit review to be accurate or favorable towards a jumped up Datsun. That would be akin to asking for a review on a Wagu bone-in ribeye by Billy West (a vegan, and the voice of Fry on Futurama... since someone posted that pic).

Besides, anyone around Detroit has bigger problems than poor grammar. With the Governor of Michigan seriously considering giving Detroit back to the Huron indians and citizens dodging gunfire, who has time for draft revisions?

 

[NTOwens]

Phoned in the art too - same tired pics from Infiniti's site that don't quite truly depict any color accuracy.

Blah

Alas, the danger of sarcasm... people might actually take you seriously.

Be sure not to take me seriously.

From someone who was born and raised in Detroit, let me just say...

Well, why aren't you still there? I have heard there are 4 bedroom houses for sale for a single dollar. I'll tell you what... I will spot you the buck. No, you may not have my body armor.

Jokes like this actually do get old...

It's still my home dammit.

 

[Ten*K]

Aww, sorry guy. If it makes you feel any better, I work in the crap hole that is North Philly. Some of those neighborhoods looks as if the Apocalypse has already happened. It's a bit like Mad Max mixed with Good Times.
