Respected - Infiniti Q45
What
makes a leader? Usually it's a mix of charisma, abilities,
and a go-getter attitude that make people want to follow.
Those three characteristics sum up the new Q nicely. When
it comes to personality, the Q exudes it in mass quantities.
From the dramatic exterior styling to its beautiful wood
and leather interior treatment, the Q45 knows how to please
people and make a friend for life. 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
Infiniti Vehicle Information System (VIS) is the brain
behind this new sedan's talents. The system integrates
and displays vehicle information that includes audio settings,
climate control, maintenance requirements, navigation
system and vehicle settings. It also uses voice recognition
technology, as well as hands-free cellphone usage, a must
in today's highway traveling. 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. Infiniti Q45, we'd
follow you anywhere!
