Still, I'm skeptical about the overall direction of this platform. It's still a very incremental move when Infiniti's largest competitors are changing things up drastically, such as BMW with their entire lineup getting revamped.
I saw this car in person like 3 or 4 months ago @ the Dallas auto show. I been trying to tell you guys the pics we'd been seeing don't do it justice. But im generally not a sedan guy anyway. But as far as sedans go, I liked it. And it's growing more on me in terms that i would actually consider for purchase??? "BASED ON LOOKS ALONE."

BMW is revamping their cars but the less for more $$$$ factor is even more drastic than ever. The 180hp, 320i is a horrible value and incredibly slow. Cost $3,000 less than the Q50 with 328hp motor. No value in the 320. Then comes the 328. Which is about the same price. The upside is turbo 4. The downside that turbo 4 still produces 240hp. The 335i is the only car in the line-up worth buying. But it's very unreliable and it's pushing $62k fully loaded? Value issue their. Especially when factoring BMW turbo reliability.

The BMW is the Better performance vehicle (BASED on the inexpensive DINAN TUNE). But when you factor in cost of ownership to the MSRP. These two cars really cater to two different income brackets. In spite of similar MSRP's. BMW's cost of ownership is outrageous.
