Edmunds Full Test - 2014 Infiniti Q50 Premium

2014 Infiniti Q50 Full Test on Edmunds.com

A New Name for a Well-Known Sedan
Published: 07/19/2013 - by Jason Kavanagh, Engineering Editor

Coming up with clear automotive model nomenclature is a thankless job. Names are hard to conjure up and nearly all the letters in the alphabet are taken.

Infiniti was at a point where its current system had become unsuitably awkward, so it binned the whole approach and started over. This is why the 2014 Infiniti Q50, while bearing a brand-new badge on the rump, is a mix of new and familiar parts.

The Q50 is effectively the next-generation G37, but it's not that simple. Infiniti feels like the Q50 is actually a modest step up from the G37 in terms of refinement, style and equipment. "It's the finest sedan we've ever built," company officials like to say.

So it's not a direct replacement in the traditional sense, but a whole new idea of what the company's mid-range sport sedan should be.

Finally. Would expect other media first drives/reviews to hit very soon as well.

Sounds like the stock run flat tires are really holding it back in the handling department.

Opps, sorry about that guys. May delete thread.

Well, as expected the run flat tires ruin a great handling car. The 19" in the
Q50S will solve the grip problem but the ride would be even crappier.

Glad that the hydraulic steering still feels great!
