I've test driven them. They seemed like overpriced Nissans to me, frankly. I ended up with a Lexus (overpriced Toyota), and I hate it. BMW or Audi for the win

The Infiniti Q50 is heartbreaking. I love my G37 (which they still make but are phasing out), but the Q50 lacks attitude, even in so called sports mode. The thing that makes the G37 so great is that it's fun as hell to drive. It isn't as rough as a BMW, but you feel the road more than a Lexus. It has great cornering, nice pick up, is very luxurious, and sounds mean. The Q50 does away with almost all of that except for the luxury. It is just run of the mill. It became way more of a Lexus, which I can't stand.
Go with the G37 if you can. Just a lot of fun to drive.

Have a Lexus now that's im getting rid of. Hate how they redid the interior in 2013 so not getting another. I like the dual screens in the q50 and it does seem to be similar to the older Lexus as far as the interior which I did like but seems to be more fun to drive. Never been a fan of BMW, 3-Series is to small and the 5-series is overpriced. Do like the a5 and a6 from Audi.

I was considering G37 and M37 for my last purchase, and am glad I went with the M37. Love the bigger size, styling, and the interior is so much nicer. It's got tons of balls. Only issue that a lot of people have with the seven speed automatics for the 2010s Gs and Ms is that the transmission is annoying. It has lag and gear searching issues. I've experienced some of that, but that's really my only complaint.
The Q50 exterior styling is nice, but the interior is the same as the G37, which underwhelmed me when I was looking at those. Q70 is the way to go, but that's a lot more $$$.
As for BMW and Audi, i considered those, but didn't want to deal with the outrageous maintenance, and I was looking for GPS, backup camera, and bluetooth. For some reason those features are on most infiniti's but rare on the Germans.
Edit: Looks like the changed up the interior a bit in the '14 Q50, so I take back some of what i said.

Bought the wife a G35 when they first came out. It was the best car I ever owned.
I'm a big fan of Nissan and Toyota. Being in the auto repair business, I can say these two brands are the least worked on at my shop.
