Best car by far...
I have owned a couple luxury cars in the past, including a 1993 Lexus LS400, a 2000 BMW 5-series. The Lexus was a great, reliable car, but was about as exciting to drive as watching the senior's amateur golf classic. The 5 series was just the opposite: fun to drive but not as well put-together (in the shop 4 times in my 2 years of ownership). The new Q45 trumps both of these cars as the best compromise between the two: awesome performance in the lap of luxury... but also well put-together. This car will easily last me a good 7-10 years.
New gearing makes all the difference
I've owned three Infiniti Q45's, and have loved every one of them. The folks at Infiniti have really outdone themselves this time. I drove the 2002 model when it first came out, and really loved it... but I must admit the acceleration didn't impress like I thought it would. I read that the gearing would be improved for 2003, so I waited. Another test drive and I was sold. You can really feel the difference. The feeling of your internal organs being compressed against your spine is like none other. Infiniti makes the best cars, hands down, and this one is the creme de la creme.

Not a Lexus
The LS 430 is all around a much better car albeit with a much higher price tag. The Q has no heated seats or compass which ought to be standard in a premium sedan. Resale value is awful and Infiniti service is a myth. I will return to Lexus.
Car deserves serious consideration !
Coming from 6 previous Lexus models I was expecting a lot from this automobile. So far, it has delivered on all counts. Ride comfort, handling, style and most of all a plethora of electronic features. The voice recognition, navigation, intelligent cruise control are superb. The auto open/close trunk comes in very handy. The rear view camera when backing up is handy. The fit and finish is better than any Lexus I have ever owned. The sport ride position is great. Infiniti has gone the extra mile on this car. If you want more bang for you buck - take a long hard look at this automobile.
CHECK out this site on the new Q!
If the Q45 had the Mercedes Star on the front and was priced at $90,000, most would think it was the best thing out there. That's all the car is missing to command a $90,000 price tag. A friend of ours who has had just about every luxury car out there, said, "You must look at this car!" The closest dealership to us was 70 miles away, and that's where we bought it. He wasn't lying. Every Mercedes owner should be required to look at the new Q. If they did, I would love to see their reaction. It was probably like mine, and that's why I own the new Q.
