Q50 Hybrid is 360 HP and 37 MPG. Seems like a win,win to me. What exactly are you looking for??

It's also a hybrid so you get to pay for those expensive batteries so that's super fun.

I love my 2004. I've had it for over 5 years and it's one of the few cars that I've owned that does EVERYTHING well. Quick enough to be fun, but doesn't guzzle gas like crazy (avg 450-470 a tank). Handsome car without going over the top (not a fan of the current 'crease craze' that most cars are plagued with). Plenty of space without feeling loafy and cumbersome. TONS of aftermarket support. Reliable as a cast iron stove. Any time I ever see another one on the road, I always give it a second look... even in stock form.

It reminds me a lot of an E32 or E38 7 series. Subtle with a little edge.

Yes, I know it's not an 03, but it's damn close.

Q50 is expensive, numb, and uninspiring.

As soon as my G37 lease is up, peace out Infiniti.

Between the '04 and '05, The '05 is much more touchy and boisterous when it comes to performance, I can't tell if it's truly pulling harder or not but it definitely responds to, and picks up on throttle more than the 04. It seems like theres a slight hesitation before the power band on the 04.

One thing that's very important in the first gen: reclining rear seats. You lose that in all versions thereafter.

Still driving my '05 MT sport sedan. I went to trade it in a couple of years ago and decided against the G37. It felt "boaty" and the accelerator felt disconnected from the throttle, if that makes any sense. It had more power but ...
