Saw an Infiniti Q50

This afternoon I saw a grey coloured Infiniti Q50 on the road. I thought the launch date is August 5th.

Dealers on the west coast got early deliveries on the Q50. Not allowed for sale/test drive (can request via appointment) until August according to the salesperson I spoke to when I looked at the car.

Here's what it looks like for people too lazy to google and yes, it does look like the Mazda 6 and that's not a good thing.

yeah that's pretty fucking stupid.

when they say no to customers, they'll find something else...like Mazda 2, Honda Fit, Chevy Sonic, etc.

Lexus does start a lot styling trends...

Not limited to the spindle grill, but Altezza taillights, integrated exhaust on bumper, etc.

Look at European and American cars too, they're all copying Lexus' design cue.

Actually, Infiniti had that grille design before Lexus... Just that Lexus was smart enough to take the grille and put it on a production car before Infiniti did. Infiniti is 1-2 years late releasing their newest models. 2003-2007 was G35, the G37 should have ended in 2011 or 2012.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd certainly not confuse a Mazda 6 with a Q50. Maybe it's the angle of the image, but it definitely pulls some styling cues from the R35.
