The President has that extra dash of upscale flair that I think is missing from the Q45.

That is very sweet...had anyone seen the inside of the new LS430, Lexus took it up another notch for sure, they would need to bring something like this to compete head-to-head.

Definitely, the 1st gen Q replacement. All the things I like about the Nu Q, and none of the things I dislike....

If I ever get to Japan, I will definintely drive one of these.

wow, a lincoln grill on an infiniti. The interior is pretty sweet and the eterior is pretty fugly.

That exterior does not belong in this century. Same as the ls430 exterior is old and tired.

Guys, it's just a tarted F50 Cima, not a G50 like the former President. I love the interior, but the exterior is too Buick in appearance.

Long live the G50 Q45 in whatever iteration.

Reminds me of the latest Lincoln Continental.

Looks like it has more legroom in back than Q45, must be longer wheelbase. That's a good thing.

The competition in Japan is the Toyota Century, which is definitely frumpy and style-free. I don't think elegant proportions are important in that market, just chrome and curtains.
