I was very shocked when I saw the technical data about the Q45!!!

4.5litre V8 engine
365 hp @ 6400 rpm
469 Nm @ 4000rpm

Isn't it more impressive than the 745i figures? I know it has a "japanese" look, but I like the head lamps!...and the interior...luxury everywhere...!

But is it really a better car than a LS430? Does anyone have any experience with the Q45?

Please give opinions!

Thanx!

I already drove the 2003 Infiniti Q45 of my uncle and I can say this car is very powerful, luxurious and stealth too.

The Q45 has a lot more personality than the fake Mercedes look of the Lexus Ls 430.

Here my choice: 1-BMW 745i
2- Infiniti Q45
3- Lexus Ls 430

They beat the crap out of the LS430 on Top Gear, they even prefered a Hyundai !!

LS430 is too ubiquitous, too many of Toyotas around(at least in So-California) and they all are ugly! Infinity Q45 is much MUCH better. I mean, look at those gatling gun headlights! If i was to chose and money wasn't a problem, i'd get an Audi A8 for luxo-barge with V8.

lexus wears the badge of bulletproof reliabilty.

Lexus LS430 is heavily based on the design of the previous generation S Class.
Thats the main reason why its so slabby and squared.

Its a good car though, but I would take a 745i over it too

Do you know any performance data "Schwalbe JG 44" about the Q45?

It would be nice to see!

can't see the pic...

A lexus will still be a Toyota because in Japan its badged as Majestic. Infiniti somewhat looks more original than Lexus. As for which car... I heard that lexus is really quiet while the infiniti produced more power than the previous Nissan President they did.

I would not touch either with a ten foot pole - give me an S-class any day

Infiniti's interior quality is inferior to that of Lexus. The buttons feel cheap and infiniti really seems to have a thing for painting plastic to look like metal (it doesn't). I agree with what others here have said about the exterior styling of the two.
