New Car Itch

Why not upgrade to a newer S4? In 2017 they added Traffic Jam Assist and Lane Keeping to the A4. Not sure how good it is, but there are some videos on YouTube showing it holding some curves.

Why not upgrade to a newer S4?

 

main reason is price and leasing sucks. I'd own one but I'm going to lease the next vehicle. I'm going to use the equity in my S4 to buy my wife and son a car next year and once the lease is up I may just buy a toy for me :p

 

Update: I've driven a shit-ton of cars and SUV's

 

Yesterday I drove an AMG E43 but was less than impressed for the money. It's not a true AMG Either. Then I stepped over to the Infinity Q50 Red Sport and for the money and with the crazy lease deals going, it's about where I'm going to end up.

 

Checks all my boxes just like the S4 and while it's not perfect, neither is my car. That said, the savings for me will be big in comparison and the new 2018's have some minor refreshes that make it a pretty sharp looking car with plenty of stock power. High 12's at 111mph put it between a Stage 1 and Stage 2 S4 but in stock form. Going tonight to see the one I've picked out and to negotiate their aftermarket exhaust as they offer 2-3 different ones.

 

Picked out a pretty nice black metallic one with black leather and with Infinity supplementing the hell out of the leases it's about the best bang for the buck I've found. They have some leftover "new" 2016's even but I'm not going to buy it. The 2018's have a revised suspension system and a few other goodies that make it nicer too.

The only thing infuriating about Infiniti these days is the STUPID alphanumeric nomenclature, but clearly no one except for car guys cares. Also, no sticks.

 

That said...the 3.0TT Red Sport lineup is a hell of a lot of car for the money. It's not as classy (or expensive) as Lexus but you're also not paying the price premium and the quality is bang on at Nissan/Infiniti.

 

Would be a great choice!

Well, it's a done-deal and there's now a sweet little S4 soon to be on the market.

 

Welcome home to my garage today a 2018 Midnight Black Metallic Q50 Red Sport 400 AWD loaded up with all the options including the Sensory Package and ProActive Package and a bunch of other goodies.

Man I love those cars.

 

Each time I get into a newer Infiniti at work I fall in love and gotta get out before I sign on the line

 

damn! those Q50s are nice! congrats man!

 

Congrats Tim, those sure are sexy!

 

Thanks! So far I'm really enjoying the new daily. Did a mock-up of the headlight trim I'll be adding. Have a cool idea for the mirrors too. Very subtle but something to dress her up and make it different. Gotta love my ladies with eyeliner on.

Do they still sell the IPL trim stuff?

 

Doesn't ring a bell. The only two options I'm missing are the carbon fiber mirrors and spoiler/lip and then a Dealer Installed Stillen Exhaust that while nice I passed on because I'm old ;)

It's pretty sweet (at least to me)

 

I've seen a few at work and fall in love each time. My next daily or fun car will likely be a 6 speed G IPL coupe
