Both of us loved driving it. The G37, while a nice car, it just didn't measure up to the driving pleasure of the 35. Both gave solid service, but because of the G37's heavier (dumber, less nimble) road manners, we didn't even go back to look at a Q. Now with their commitment to the CVT, I've no interest whatsoever. Should add and agree with others their styling has suffered. The G35 was beautiful, the 37 not so much, the current stuff, no reason to look twice.
I actually find they're newer cars to be quite good looking. The G35/37 never really won me in terms of design (although the coupe did improve upon the sedan) and I find the old 35's have not aged as well, but with the Q50/60 they look really good, sadly everything else is terrible. Same with the M, I liked the final generation more than the early ones, and the QX50 is quite a good looking SUV although like the Q50 is terrible everywhere else
