Looking at the design of the 2014 Infiniti Q50 in this picture thread, what do think about it and Infiniti's new design language?
At least they didn't attempt to put an Aston Martin style grille on it like everyone seems to be trying to do. I'm talking about you Ford Fusion and Toyota Avalon.the lower part looks like a Lexus in a way, sort of hard to make cars look completely different from the next these days, but Infiniti could have done better but it's still far better than the G37
Well it stills works for the Fusion and the Avalon because there's no confusion that those cars aren't Aston Martins...At least they didn't attempt to put an Aston Martin style grille on it like everyone seems to be trying to do. I'm talking about you Ford Fusion and Toyota Avalon.
Good point. Infiniti keeping this design original and not making a full attempt at copying another car makers signature design features is good.At least they didn't attempt to put an Aston Martin style grille on it like everyone seems to be trying to do.

I agree, but I don't think its a case of one car maker copying another. European law makers passed a law that car makers have to meet stricter regulations regarding pedestrian safety. In order to meet some of these regulations car makers had to redesign the front end of their cars to be more "pedestrian friendly" so to speak. Because of that a lot of cars are starting to look alike. There are only so many different designs that can be produced before they all start looking the same.Good point.

Instead of designing cars to be safer for pedestrians they should design pedestrians to be safer for cars.

You can't fix stupid..Okay but cfrp does have a bit of a point. I'd bet there are not that many incidents where the car has struck a pedestrian as a result of the driver not driving responsibly compared to pedestrians not following traffic laws related to them. So, can't we focus on educating people on how and when to cross the street, the use of sidewalks, and the part of the laws of physics that dictates that the heaviest human is always going to come second best in a wrestling match with the lightest car.

Not a fan of the rear tail lights extending out of the body. I've noticed this in a few videos and it is bothering me. I need to see it in person. If anyone has seen it in oerson is it is as noticeable as the Altima?Looking at the design of the 2014 Infiniti Q50 in this picture thread, what do think about it and Infiniti's new design language?
Maybe they could take a cue from the railroads from a bygone era and put cowcatchers on the front.Also about all the pedestrian safety stuff, evidently people in Europe are famous for walking into cars on a daily basis. They basically ruined it for everyone since "world" models have to conform to their safety standards because people can't cross the street without staring at iPods or whatever the heck they do. If you can't make smarter people, you have to make smarter cars I guess is the lesson here.
