I live in ca and I don't really think they get that much hotter. Personally, I really love the stone seats but its the light carpet that I can't keep clean. I wish infiniti had the light top dark bottom option like so many other cars. I had a Jaguar XF with cream seats and dark grey carpet, it looked so good!

I also pre-ordered the Red with the graphite, but my sales manager said it wouldn't be in until August. How do you KNOW that you'll have yours by July 15th?

That's the date I've been given, and it was verified by a second dealership that saw the invoice. I'm in Southern California where they not only arrive, but sheer population and number of dealers dictate we'll get cars before places like TN.

Just a heads up guys, whatever your dealerships tell you about incoming inventory and colors, and blah blah blah... how rare something will be, TAKE IT as BS. Verify yourself another way, if possible. Every car sales consultant is trained to "create a sense of urgency" to play on your emotions (worry, excitement, happiness). Knowing numbers is only one small part of successfully pulling off a good deal. Many salesman and most managers are psychological masters, even to the point where they will come off deliberately stupid to make you think you're the smart consumer who got the best deal. But the question is - did they make the sale?

*This is in response to the earlier post (forget who posted) about possibly only getting 2 ruby Q50's in all of SoCal.*

That was me, and at the time, there were only 2 configured the way I wanted, and that didn't come from my dealer, that was from my own calling and investigating every dealership. But even now, a month later, if you go onto websites or cars.com you will see that the Ruby is a low percentage color.

In some of the pictures posted previously the stone interior had dark floor mats. I guess if you want a dark bottom you need to get the mats.

They are not dark mats, they are protective covers to keep the carpet clean until they are sold. I've seen them in person. I'm sure you could buy black mats or get your dealer to throw them in, but I don't think it would look very good to have the mats and the rest of the carpet be different colors.

I go with the graphite because its a lot easier to keep clean

 

[BenW]

Oh that was probably it since it was specifically configured to your liking! Forgot wat configurations they had! My dealer is cerritos infiniti

You have an email address for your sales person there? I'd be curious to see what they have coming in

 

[BenW]

Hmmmm...not sure about that cuz I saw my dealers allocation sheet and they had quite a few Venetian Ruby Q50s(not dure if it had graphite interiors though) while they had no Moonlight Whites that applies to my configuration!

Who's your dealer? I was told only 2 before August, but that was also my specific configuration of Graphite interior, non-sport, Nav and Grand Touring. There were a bunch of Sports and some others that were hybrids or had the full tech package.

Ruby

I can't believe how few Reds there will be. My dealer told me that there are only 2 Red with Graphite coming to all of Southern Cal before August, but there are thousands of Blacks, Whites, Greys and Silvers. At least I'll stand out in my Ruby Red/Graphite with Nav and Grand Touring when it arrives July 15!
