That car is awesome! Lots of power. The salesman in the car with me got really nervous while I was driving due to the constant WOT. The voice comand worked flawlessly. The only disappointment is the use of some maxima switch gear for the power windows and headlight aiming. As soon as the dealers start discounting next year I will buy one.

Are you expecting a huge promotion or are you just dreaming? The new Q stripped will list for over $50k. That's a big step up from a Max. I'd rather have a new Vette.

The salesman said when the discounting begins early next year, invoice price would be acceptable to purchase a new Q. And the corvette is a nice car but it has two problems. (1) no rear seat (2) American made.

At least

The paint will stick to the 'Vette! After the initial run of Vettes, they have worked the kinks outta the line (roof/window gapping at high speed) so I think it would be a tossup on quality, it is definetly no worse than what comes off the Nissan assembly line currently. But no rear seat is no rear seat!

I would love to have a Vette and put one of those Callaway conversions on it....Alas in the real word insurance is the name of the game...

Wow...must got some $$$ to spend. Saw it at the NY Auto Show and it's one awesome vehicle. I wish the critics had nicer things to say about the Q though. Just read the Motor Trend article comparing the Q with other luxury cars and it didn't fare too well. Then again, it's about 20K less than the Mercedes S430 Sport and the Audi A8 L and 5K less than the LS 430 so as usual, getting a bang for the buck with Nissan/Infiniti products.
