@@allentoyokawa9068It’s doomsday for Infiniti now 😂😂😂 LOL 😝. What are you talking about? All of their cars are now discontinued after 2024 after the remaining 2024 Q50 inventory is sold. They have a lackluster and outdated QX50 and QX55 compact crossover with a friggin’ CVT. The QX60 is okay I guess, somewhat attractive. The all new 2025 QX80 is a joke. The refreshed 2025 Lincoln Navigator and 2025 Cadillac Escalade put it to shame. Infiniti needs a total overhaul immediately! 2003 - 2018 were the best years for Infiniti. They need some desperate help to change things.

I modify all my cars….but never with the powertrain. I’ll do suspension work(usually stiffening), and improved brakes. But I live in the mountains and handling is the game. Factory is usually lacking in those subjects for my intended use. Would never know my cars have been changed, until you drive them. The body kits and stuff…yeah pretty lame in most cases lol. The loud exhausts are not needed unless on the track with other cars. For most of these cars, those exhaust systems don’t add any real performance to the system. Unless your like adding more air and fuel as well…which is usually just building a ticking time bomb of a car hahaha

These were way ahead of the competition in their day and what a bargain price! The first gen Lexus SC300 was around $45K base price in 2000 while this undercut it by $16K three years later. Granted, this car has a much cheaper interior and no legendary JZ engine but still the value was amazing. Most of them have been destroyed by young people because the 350Z it is based on was more expensive in the used car market so people went to the Infiniti G to modify and butcher. I have not see a nice stock one of these in over 10 years minimum.

Reliable, comfortable, easy peasy to kick the backend out when I wanted to.

Infiniti made the Q50 ride softer to appeal to a wider audience. It’s still a fun and sporty car to drive. It uses the same platform as the V36 2007 - 2013 Infiniti G, but it was better there supposedly. All of the Nissan Skyline models V35, V36, or V37 sold as Infiniti G or Q50/Q60 are fun to drive.

I really wish Nissan/Infiniti's general quality hadn't gone to crap. I owned many, including one of the original Sentra SE-R's and two Infiniti G20's, and they were great cars that wouldn't let you down. The G35 looked great on paper and testers said great things about it, but the interior didn't hold up, especially the junk-quality leather, and they seem to have mostly died early deaths or gotten into the hands of lowest-common-denominator type owners.

The 2003 - 2004 model years were particularly bad with bad brakes that would wear out very fast. There was almost a class action lawsuit against Nissan over the brakes which is why Nissan improved the brakes for the 2005 model year when they gave the Infiniti G35 a mid-cycle refresh. The interior was upgraded too with higher quality materials including real aluminum trim instead of the cheap silver painted plastic trim pieces.

​@@gedamanThe Q50 was developed as a G37, G22d, and G35h from 2007 to 2012, but those trademarks were abandoned abruptly by JdN in September 2012 and he Q-ed everything, in new trademark filings during September 2012. It was cryptic when they teased a new sedan in early December 2012, but not a new G by name. A week later, it all came to light. Q/QX renaming was leaked with those random trademark filings that September. In January 2013, Q50 was revealed. Essentially a mini Infiniti M in execution, which made it more comfort orientated, by fell out of favor with the enthusiast customer base. As much I don't want to hate Ghosn, it was mostly his decisions to cut investment in Infiniti in favor of BEV development and growing Nissan brand volume in the early 2010s-mid 2010s. The South African had the same issues with both Infiniti and Cadillac. Stingy parent companies with unrelenting CEOs in Ghosn and Barra, who weren't ready to go to toe to toe with the German trio head on. JdN wanted power packed turbo 6s, plus he wanted new V8s for Infiniti. He was told in no uncertain terms by Ghosn, Nissan V8 development had ended after the VK56 and that the VR series V6 would solely be its replacement. I knew once the Titan and Patrol generations ended, V8 Nissans would be gone. For now the Australian Patrol will keep the 5.6, but know that Johan did fight for a new V8 to be developed.

Had a custom made 05 G35 Coupe 6MT. First one in Cali I think. It was so fun to drive but didn't felt the same after some repairs. Had a family so I had to get rid of it. I still miss it from time to time tho. Not sure if I would get it again now but looking back at it now I should've gotten a used 03 M45 instead back then. The body line on that car is crazy nice. I wonder why I didn't see that back then. 😊

Hardly anyone bought the 2003 - 2004 Infiniti M45 (Nissan Cedric/Gloria). It was a total flop and not really made with America in mind sort of like the 1990 Infiniti M30 (Nissan Leopard). Sometimes Nissan just rebadges any Japanese Nissan model as an Infiniti expecting easy success and it blows up on them.

I remember when this car came out. I had an e39 1999 bmw 540i. My friend just picked this up for $35-36k fully loaded. Hell of a car and it finally dethroned the 3 series both the sedan and coupe until the e90 came out with the 335i. That g35 gave me 282hp 300+ torque 540i a problem,I couldn’t pull on him until I did a few bolt ons. I later picked up a brand new e60 550i in 07 and the god damn G37 sedans were fast too,a g37S 6spd had no issue keeping up with my car at lower speeds,it was demoralizing. Again g35 coupe or sedan for $35k fully loaded was smoking an e46 330i sedan or coupe that was $50k+ for a 330ci with the zhp performance package,insanity. The G37 was great too but 335i was slightly ahead in performance this time and N54 is a legendary motor,so is a N55 in its own regard… still love the V motors in Infiniti,good stuff and I think Infiniti was the only Japanese brand to take on bmw and beat it

We can thank Carlos Ghosn and his thuggery ways. Literally put Nissan/Infiniti a decade behind the car market. Luckily there is hope, given their remarkable products they're putting out as of late. I just hope they don't give up on the car game since the Q50 is now gone. A sweet car that just needed some modernizing.

⁠@@hellkitty1014What “remarkable products” is Infiniti or Nissan putting out lately? They’ve given up entirely on cars with the discontinuation of the Infiniti Q50 after 2024 and the all new 2025 Infiniti QX80 is a joke compared to the refreshed 2025 Cadillac Escalade and 2025 Lincoln Navigator. Nissan will be discontinuing the Altima soon as well. Nissan is basically on life support now. Carlos Ghosn turned the company around 25 years ago and then made a dash.

But cars like the new Murano, Armada, and QX80 are very competitive against their competition. Even the current Rogue and Pathfinder are solid entrants. What's with the doom and gloom??

INFINITI has always made really good vehicles for the money. It’s a shame they aren’t making any more cars and only SUVs/crossovers, but they’re far from the only brand doing so. You can’t blame them for only making what people want to buy, but it is a shame great cars like the G series sedans and coupes as well as the Q series sedans and coupes are gone now. I loved my old I35, loved my G37, and love my Q50. They’ve all been great cars and with a few basic mods outperform cars that cost nearly twice the MSRP.

Peak Infiniti / Nissan! Though the RZ34 is pretty awesome for what it is as the last "affordable" true JDM twin turbo sports coupe. I just wish Inifiniti would make an upgraded interior version of it (like 2025 QX80 level minus the crazy amount of screens) and keeping the hshift as the base option then transplanting the R35 GT-R DCT in the back for a 2WD upper option.
