Awesome man!!! How was the intouch system? How responsive was the touchscreen?
Hands on Liquid Platinum Sport AWD from Grubbs event
Just took these yesterday, would have posted them sooner but the site was down last night. I learned a lot about the Q surprisingly. They had 2 experts that were touring with the car and some F1 guy (not Sebastian Vettel) that was involved with development.
Apologies for the pics but my new HTC One thinks it's a great idea to blow out anything that's bright like LCD displays.

Note the plate- the codename for this one is K25, DL is a dealer tag. The K32 was the gray one shown in Boston.
Some free swag, crystal wine glass type thing:

Ask away, like I said, I drilled the experts there and learned a lot of new things about it, including the mystery box in the lower front right grille.

Knee length shorts but I was sitting, yeah. Liquid Platinum with the graphite interior looks proper. Same color combo as my 04.Nice! That looks like the Liquid Platinum!
Is that you in the short shorts?
Well it was a mystery to me since it looks like it doesn't fit with the rest of the grille.

See how it's just kinda there blocking out the corner of the lower grille? The rep said it is pushed forward a few mm on the right side and is pushed back a few mm on the left side, but is on both sides. It's a pair of blocking plates that direct air around the corners of the bumpers rather than letting it flow through. You can see this plate on the non-Sport lower grille also. Supposedly it's a trick they learned from the GTR.

Did you ask about my power folding side mirrors?
Future option, possibly, but not on the current model. Look at the door panel pic, there is no rocker switch for folding mirrors there (yet).Did you ask about my power folding side mirrors?
Another fun fact, the non-Hybrids get split folding rear seats, and there are pull cords in the trunk to release them. This is actually pretty practical, because if you're shoving something big into the trunk, you open the trunk and pull on the tab while pushing the trunk side of the rear seat with the object you're loading (or by hand, whatever).
The front doors don't require physical contact to unlock if your proximity key is in your pocket. Once you insert your hand into the gap between the door handle and the car, a sensor sees your fingers and unlocks the door without you touching the handle, so opening a locked door is exactly like opening an unlocked door. You simply open it like it's not even locked.
I was about to go back thru the pics if it was short shorts! Oh well! Hahaha!
Thanks for the info man! Im still in the wait as to how the Q50 intouch system will truly respond then! Hopefully they work all the bugs out and make it a fluid system! Did you guys get to turn it on? Maybe give it a rev or 2!
Btw, is the Q50 in Hagane Blue? If so, hows the color in person?
Edit: Nvm, seems like that the Liquid Platinum one
Thanks for the pics man looks sweet same color combo as my current G's coupe and sedan...

I'm glad that more and more automakers are using the proximity/touch method for auto-unlock as opposed to pressing the little button on the door. Those buttons always looked a little tacky to me.
"proper"? Where are you from?
