I, for one, would be interested in reading what major changes have been made since the 's introduction. Every once in a while I have an itch to purchase a newer Q than my 92, but I have no idea what has been introduced each year (or what problems are associated with particular model years.) For example, I have heard that since my model year, the ride of the Q (which I love in my 92)has become more cushy, but I have no idea what year that happened.

Has anyone done a thread/faq/article on this?

ThanksKen K

with 97-01 you're going to sacrifice acceleration (mainly above 60), handling and over all agility... IMO Y33 still feel a lot bigger and fatter than G50s do...

I hate that wikipedia entry. The M45 is NOT replacing the Q as the flagship car! I've tried to change that but they keep swapping it back.

That's like saying the 240sx replaced the Z as Nissan's flagship sportscar just because the Z went away for a few years.

Wikipedia is great for trivia. Sadly, much of the time the information isn't handled by people who know the subject.

Screw Wiki. Don't try to change it, let them keep their misinformation.

Actually, short tem, it is until the Q replacement appears. Proabably some M45 leaser validating his insecurities.

What do you expect with a bunch of monkeys at the keyboards?

I corrected their FY33 entry, but I am sure it is corrupted again.

I have not driven a Y33 but I did drive the new Q twice, Once in 02 and again in 05. I wanted to like it. It has a great look to it IMO. I love the interior but...out on the road it felt DISCONNECTED, like a drive by wire car. It was smooth and fast but I could not communicate with it. I thought of suspension upgrades, yada yada... but I don't think you can modify soul into a car.

Has anyone tried?

Thats what C&D said, and thats why it got sixth place in a 2002 comparison. The only car it beat was the front-drive Cadillac Deville DTS, and just barely.
