Why I did not buy a new G or Q50

After owning almost ten years of G35X and almost 10 years with this forum, I finally traded the G for a 2014 Mazda 6 grand touring a few weeks ago. I want to thank everyone in this great forum. I have learned a lot and have contributed also. My goal in this thread is not to talk about the Mazda, there is no place for it in this forum, but why I did not consider buying another Infiniti.

The Q50 is no longer a driver's car, but a car with tech and luxury, and along with that a price to match! Heck, a loaded one can exceed 50K, a far cry from my old G. The Q never received any good review from all the car magazines. My old G has reached its limits for me. Keeping it for anther 6 to 12 months would not be a good decision. My best wishes to this great forum and its members!

Sounds like you couldnt afford the Q50 but you bought the next closest thing that looks like it, the Mazda 6.

Goodluck on the new ride. I didnt like the direction infiniti took with the second gen and its good to know what theyve done with the Q. I still want to test drive the Q though. But yeah after looking at the price tag of the Q 50 im gonna go with 335i on my next new car (for now)

well the luxury car game is now either to lease, or buy off-lease. So I completely understand why you thought the price was high.

Q50 is so bleh to drive... I wouldn't have bought a Mazda 6 (even though it is indeed a really good car) but I totally understand your reasoning for not buying the Q50.

However, if you like the G i think a nice CPO 2012 could have been a viable option. The gas mileage fricken sucks though.

Mazda is a downgrade IMO!

I plan on getting a BMW also (after I'm done with college) as someone else mentioned. The Q looks good to me. Have read ZERo on it though. Good luck with that Ford made car.
