2005 Q45 front end..

Yes, if you have previous locations or have ones stored, you can do it all by voice. I'm not sure if you can do a full addy, I usually do it while I'm parked before I go.

I always thought the F50 was good looking, although I'm in the minority. I really thought it would sell better.

I hope it holds up as well as the G50....

It seems like I'm in the minority too, but I truly think the F50 is a beautiful car. I too thought it would sell better than the numbers indicate, 'cause that Americanized LS430-look sure doesn't look outstanding...it just blends in with the rest, but I guess that's exactly why it's selling like the rest of the pack.

The Q is unique, and there's only a few to be found on the road everywhere I go. Either way you put, the F50 is an awesome car! Nice ride Jason. But I'll wait in line for the '05 Q with all its refinement when it returns from someone's lease a few years from now. I like the chrome accent around the car and the addition of the fog lights which adds to the aggresive look. My only complaint is why can't Infiniti keep those nice tail corner light curves...it's so original. Now it's just a straight diagonal cut that takes away its character.

Oh...and I hope it holds up in performance, but not in resales value 'cause that's the only way I'll be able to afford one.

Do F50s come with an optional rear spoiler? I see one with this 02 model, and I'm wondering if it's an aftermarket. If it's OEM, it sure doesn't look factory like that of the G50's spoilers.

On the same subject, I also see Y33 "T" models every now and then on ebay without a spoiler. I thought all "T"s have spoiler?

All all FY33 (Y33 is a JDM model) t models have a spoiler. The F50 OEM spoiler did not relocate the CHMBL to the spoiler.

The F50 is missing one thing, and one thing only:Creased, compact surfaces.

The Lexus LS430 has grown, but remains traditionally boxy, along with the Cadillac DTS.I believe Audi does it best, combining graceful curves with straight lines. Looks classy but athletic. Jaguar too.

97-98 Q45t models included the lip spoiler with an integrated CHMSL as standard equipment. A rear lip spoiler without the brake lamp was an option on the 99-01 Q45t and 00 Q45 Anniversary Edition.

The only thing I'd take are the new tails, minus the trunk pieces. Some LED's would be neat.

Side x Side, I like the look of the '02 tails better... Something about the way the clear part is curved near the top vs. straight. As far as the LED's - I just can't understand why they didn't make that upgrade in 2002, much less still be using old-style bulbs in 2005! I think that's unexcusable for a car in this class. You should develop some good replacement LEDs for the 02+Q and sell them!

2005 F50 do use LED in the tailights.

[Q451990]

Ahh... that's good to know! I haven't read the specs. yet. Too bad the shape is a little different - that would be an excellent upgrade to the 02-04Q. I noticed new Q's on the lot at my local dealership with "Up to $5000 off MSRP" written on the windshield. Kind of sad, but I guess the market has spoken. I agree with SFBayQ45 though... depreciation can work in my favor in a few years!

Heath - I guess we're in the minority here. While every other NICO brotha is looking into an M45 as their G50 replacement, I'm only interested in the F50 as a replacement to my Q when the time comes. Maybe the F50 doesn't have as much punch as the M45 (or '05 M45 either), but the luxury package of the undisputed flagship wins me over everytime...
