Seeing others on the road has so helped me be satisfied with my purchase. Obviously I can't watch myself drive, unless I'm next to a reflective building, but yea, I seriously don't notice them initially as Q50s. I just react to seeing the LEDs and the shape of the car, look in its direction, and after a half second or so realize it's a Q50. They really made a good looking car. I hope people are doing the same double takes when they see me.
I've seen a few around now, but today saw my first Q50S Hybrid other than myself. That was kind of fun.
They are going to keep popping up more and more in large metropolitan areas. You can't sell 5,000 of these a month and expect that they aren't seen. I'm lucky enough to be in Infiniti's largest market (same for the Nissan brand). Some days I see more Infiniti Ms than I do 5-series, even though the 5 outsells it about 10 to 1.
I'm in northeastern NJ, about 5 miles from Manhattan and the Chris Christie... er, I mean George Washington Bridge.
Cool! Yea, "poor" Christie and his scandal. It's made for some funny someecards.I'm in northeastern NJ, about 5 miles from Manhattan and the Chris Christie... er, I mean George Washington Bridge.
Nissan/Infiniti does very well in this metropolitan area (including Connecticut), and I believe that the press release for one of their recent redesigns (the last G or M maybe or the new Altima?) mentioned the NY metro as their top sales market. Not far behind were the usual suspects: LA, DC, south FL, etc.
Yes it has!
It can take 2 hours to cross that stupid bridge without someone closing lanes in a political pissing contest. My wonderful old 1995 Maxima must have spent about 1% of its long 10-year life with my family crossing those god-forsaken Hudson River bridges/tunnels. I used to go to a school in downtown Brooklyn and my sister (a theater major at the time) had voice lessons on the upper west side. I don't take the G35 into NYC, though my dad used to when it was his.
