The Infiniti Q45 appeals to the luxury car buyers with the dramatic exterior styling to its beautiful wood and leather interior treatment, the Q45 knows how to please people. As for attitude, the aggressiveness is shown in its powerful 4.5-liter 340-horsepower V-8 engine, standard 17-inch alloy wheels, and big vented disc brakes.

But with most good leaders, the real talent is in the abilities, and this is where the new Q pulls ahead of other contenders like the BMW 7-series and new Audi S8. The fact that the new Q can do all this, plus come in at a price well below many of its competitors shows that, like any good leader, a good bottom line is always important.

This new Q marks a return by Infiniti -- the luxury division of Nissan -- to the roots that division tried to put down in 1989. Infiniti has always won people over with an active suspension system, good power and clean, original style characterized by a grille-less front and oval-shaped, chromed outside door handles. The new Infiniti Q45 does all of the above and more. Car-buyers will be very impressed.
