Discovered the first formal review for the Q50 which vividly describes in detail the design & inspiration behind her and how important concept cars are to Infiniti, perhaps more than any other brand. Disclaimer: it is a bit biased, as no criticisms are noted; also be aware that this review does NOT review the car's performance (unfortunately). Simply the development & craftsmanship of the car. Anyway, I learned quite a bit about the subtle Japanese elements of the cars' design, such as the front grille representing a historical Japanese bridge & the bottom half a reflection of it. Clearly I'm big on factoids. Happy reading!

Infiniti opened a Infiniti showroom there and Q50 was introduced and the write up comes from HK.

Yea, it makes sense that an Asian outlet would have first-hand access. Very poetic yet informative article.

That's not a review at all, just Infiniti marketing.

My thoughts exactly.

Actually, it's a biased review; which I clearly stated in the post. Regardless, people, it's a perspective that you haven't seen before. Take it for what it's worth.

still a good read.

anxiously waiting on a real review of the Q50 though.

Would like to see a V6 sedan shootout comparison!

Actually, there is a virtually same write up from the Middle East web site as well.

Infiniti Q50 saloon born of a trio of concepts

And the reason it reads like a press release is because it is a press release

And Infiniti Global head quarters are now in Hong Kong

Yeah---I don't know what that is, but that certainly isn't a review.

Either way, I guess it's still good to know that the Q50 is helping auto journalists fill out their websites with content.
