Ok.... I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and will probably be ordering my new Q50 within the next couple of weeks, hopefully for an October delivery.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to test drive before buying, nor do will I be able to do any “in person” color comparisons.
Thanks to all BTW that have posted so many real world pics. It’s been quite helpful.
I may need some more help from those of you who are stateside.
I am leaning toward the following config:
Moonlight White (Like Infiniti Chick – I figure she put enough thought into it for me)
Premium
Navi
Leather (Graphite)
Deluxe Touring
19” Sport wheels
I have owned 3 G Sedans in the past, all Sport. (’03, ’08 & ’10)
I always found the “extra bolstering” to be uncomfortable on longer trips.
I am not a skinny dude, and my larger 6’1” frame just didn’t quite fit the sport seats – even when fully “open”. But what I did enjoy – was the thigh extender!!
So, I’m looking for your feedback if you have sat in either of them:
I wonder if the Premium seats might be more comfortable to me (left to right – if you will) than the newly designed Sport seat?
I note that the Premium seat doesn’t have the thigh extender (front to back comfort)?
I have gone ten years with the Sport seats, and I aint gonna get any smaller – lol, but it has been with some long-term driving discomfort.
Another thing that might keep me from the Sport is that I am not terribly crazy about the look of the Sport front fascia in MW.
I think this is mainly because of the stark contrast of the black fog light/led surround to the clean white bumper color.
I feel it is a “cleaner” look on the Premium fascia.
I’m a little surprised that I haven’t seen anyone else mention it here before.
Maybe it’s just me – I don’t know.
So that’s why I configured my car as a Premium, and am considering giving up the bigger brakes, tighter suspension, paddle shifters and contrast stitching.
Plus, I really want the Deluxe Touring package (I can’t believe you have to opt for that for telescoping steering wheel).
I can’t see paying for both the Sport and DTP.
So I think I have ruled out the Sport all together (at least in Moonlight White).
I was kinda all over the place here – so final thoughts:
If you sat in either seat, what are your thoughts?
And I’m curious about what you think regarding the MW Sport vs. Premium fascia.
Also, if in the next couple of weeks you have a chance – compare them for me. Be my “Seat Filler”!
So, report back.
All thoughts are welcome, even if it’s speculative and not first-hand.
Thanks all.
