Well.. I believe my of-white(unsure of color name) '94Q is the only Infiniti in the U.P. of Michigan. But when I was driving it around in dallas, I saw another 94Q on the highway that I passes, possibly red colored(cant remember), saw a late 90's J30 and I30 down there too. But those are the only Q's I've ever seen. Not counting the '93 I30 my aunt had back... well back in 93

See I30/I35/G35 almost daily.

I see a Q a week (roughly). J's about 2 a month, and G's/I's almost daily.

Haven't seen an M30 in ages, seen about 10 FX's, and no new Q's to be found on the roads here. I've seen more M45's than new Q's.

The other day on the way back from lunch there were 4, 5 counting mine at one intersection way out here in the 'burbs north of Cincy (near Kings Island amusement park). Now that's a bit unusual, but rumor has it there's another mid 90's just like mine running in this area as several people have thought it was me until the last minute. It even has the passenger side fog light turned down a little.

Other than that, I beat I see at least 1 or 2 older Infiniti's every day (not counting I30's or G20's).

The rarer thing to see is new Q's I've even seen more M's on the road than new Q's. Let's hope that's a good sign for those of us that will be looking for a nice slightly used M in about 4 years:).

You do realize they are adjustable on the 1994 - 1996 Q45s?

Better down than up, I suppose.

Finally saw my first I35 on the streets! A neighbor has one too, so I see that often, but that does not count! :)

I was beginning to wonder if anybody would consider an I35 over the G35 - under any circumstances!

Okay, between leaving work yesterday, going to get my boys from school and coming to work today (total 25 miles at most) I saw 2 gen1 Q's, 3 gen2 Q's, 1 gen3 Q, 4 or 5 G20's, 8 J30's, 5 QX4's, 5 I30's, 1 M30 and 1 SWEET FX45.

And before anyone asks, they were all on the road moving, so i couldn't tell them about NICO, but I will get some cards made up to post when I do see them parked.

Z, as a 2000 I30t owner, I LOVe the idea of the G35 sedan, and, on paper, it is a great car, but I can't bring myself to trade in the I30.

Now, the G35 Coupe, is another story, alltogether!!

I just love the lines of the I.

Ah, but if you were walking into an Infiniti dealer without your current I30T in your garage :), would you get the G35 sedan or the I35 sedan?

I just got a loaner I35 today from a local Infiniti dealer, and after driving and comparing to the G35 sedan, I would have to pick the G35. The slightly longer wheelbase, the better suspension, the better handling, etc., just seems to point in that direction. There are cons, of course, too ... the seats are not as comfortable, the external looks are "different", the seat adjustment buttons are unusual, etc.

Of course, I agree entirely with you that the G35 coupe is a better way to go! :)

If you ever do get some cards made up... post a copy on here and I'm sure many people(myself included) would print out copies and spread em around to other Infinitis

I just ordered a couple of NICO stickers from Repo Man, and I intend to put them on my rear quarter windows. That way, when someone is checking out the Q, as I drive by, they can see the sticker and check out the forum.

In the last week, I've seen four Q45s, 90-93. Two burgundy/red, two forest green.

Last night I saw a gorgeous one, forest green, shiny perfect wheels and everything, parked outside a 24-hour adult superstore.

I've seen one 2002-2003 Q45 (dark blue) in the last two years, and I ran parallel with him on the interstate.

In my neighborhood is an M30 coupe and an I30. My friend's mother also has a 97 I30.

The neighborhood I used to live in had a green J30t. Friend's girlfriend has a J30 as well.

Unstick your Caps Lock key, then you may be able to see over the letters.:ylsuper

Well, if you are new to Seattle, Kent isn't exactly a hotbed of Infiniti ownership. Most are downtown and north and on the eastide. I see all models (M30's are rare) everywhere every day.

Here in backwards podunk Spokane WA I've seen quite a few G35s, tons of I30s, and the rare sighting of a Q on a lucky day. I see M30s because there's one near my house always parked in the driveway.

You see them on the southside or the south valley, where the folks with some income are located.

Otherwise its old pickup trucks with confederate flags all over this town. :P

I'm in St. Louis and see various Q's around town. Most of them look like older orig. owners. I have an 02Q45 (Black, and I'm not old yet) perhaps you will see me around. I just bought an FX45 for my wife today but we have not taken delivery yet. It is the Beryllium (brownish) color and according to the dealer, there are not many of those around (only 1 is available in St. Louis so we had to order ours).

Holy wuh! Did I get blown away today.

As I previously posted... In the last 5 or so years I've never seen an Infiniti in the U.P. of Michigan. But today while I was working at the grocery store I work at, a guy set down his keys to pay. What do I see but the circular top part of a key that has "INFINITI" across it. A huge smile came over my face. I asked the guy about it and he said he had just bought a '92 G20. We talked a little and I pointed out my 94Q to him across the parking lot. We then parted ways. Afterwards I smacked myself because I forgot to tell him about NICO. Argh!!!!!

But continuing onwards.

Later on today.. I was working and happened to turn my head to the window, and low and behold, I see a nice shiny silverish car drive by. And i think to myself(actually kinda outloud) "holy poop"(just other words) cause i was so excited. I wanna say it was a 02Q that drove by but I only got a clear look at the read end so I'm not sure.

so 2 infinitis in one day after not seeing any for 5 years. pretty good on my part. im sure ill see the guy with the G again and ill tell him about NICO, but idunno about that new Q, i've never seen it in town so im wondering if someone was just passing through.

Q45's and J30's are relatively common here. On any given drive, you'd catch at least a dozen first-gen'ers. You're bound to see gang of Infiniti's at the local "hot spot." :D

As a matter of fact, I ran into some dude with a '95 Q at the shop today. He had a nice dark-green Q45a. I pointed him out to NICO and IoS for parts.

Totally forgot about the G35's, there's plenty of G coupes and sedans running about here.

Absolutely. You have T3 (I'm jealous). Drive to midtown where the "fashion conscious" (otherwise known as gay boys -- I can say that, being one. It's like the "N-word.") live. Old Qs are EVERWHERE! Visting for the Mazda Rev It Up Driving Event, I've never seen so many green Gen-1 Q45s. It was like driving through a Hall of Mirrors.

Hey, you guys have been so accepting, I feel like I can say that out loud. Thanks.

The Q45. Top choice of the gay community? heh.

I've seen tons of FX's and G's lately. Its nice to see it all around town while driving my 1st-gen Q that started it all.

174k on my green 92Q.

Todd's Q is bad as hell.

He sent me pics of it with the new rims and tires last week - I'll try to get 'em posted up ASAP.

My '90 was the only Q I'd seen for years in my town. Prior to getting the '97 I'd only seen one second-gen Q. The last few months seems like they're giving them away. Kinda urks me as I like to be unique. Guess I'll have to just make my cars different from the others. I'd been telling people for years, "Don't sleep on the Infiniti!" Guess they woke up. Everyone seemed to think Lexus was "THE" car to own.

It just occurred to me, lots of J30's and I30's (Maximas) here are garnished by aftermarket chrome rims and driven by really, really hot chicks. Just saw the latest Maxima riding on chrome 18's with a gorgeous latina behind the wheel... :ylsuper
