Cooley is literally the only reviewer I have ever watched who actually like the feel of Infinities steer-by-wire.

Just can't get enough of Brian Cooley, great work as aways. Cnet, you better keep this guy around. To some of us he makes Cnet.

The best car show on KZfaq. Brian Cooley is just awesome!

Great review. I requested Cooley to do a review on this particular trim of the Q50 and I am sure others did too. He came through. Thanks for truly listening to us Cooley! This will be my next car. I can't wait. Awesome review by Cooley and he kept it honest about the negatives. This has been the best/ honest review of the Q50 I have seen on the net. As usual by CNet. Other review companies take note!

Just love how Cooley does all these reviews..nice work!!!

I just discovered this cnetoncars recently and I've been hooked ever since! I love the way Brian Cooley express his opinion -smartly unbiased sometimes funny! I don't normally subscribe to anything online but I did on this one.

Thank you so much for doing a review on this Q50 I've been waiting for this to be done by ya'll.

Another good episode, guys. Never thought about the camera tech in crash tests till now!

That Infiniti looks pretty sharp. Not sure I'm sold on the two-screen layout, but overall it's an attractive ride.

Been waiting forever for this review. Even more happy Brian Cooley reviewed it

This is an awesome awesome car show! I stand hat-in-hand for the sheer diverse and relevant content that is packed into a single program without getting boring. Kudos to you Cooley and the producers!

great show as always Brian. Don't know why this show is not broadcast on Cable and Satellite Tv all over the world.

Drove a Q50S Hybrid AWD today. Probably the most rapid accelerating car I've driven yet. The DAS system is pretty interesting and I think it's comparable to most EPS systems on the market; I feel the automotive magazines hate on it too much. Another standout was the powertrain. It is just as smooth as Toyota/Lexus hybrids in transition but has power. Lots of power. Despite that, you can trundle along perfectly adequate in traffic WITHOUT ever kicking the gas engine on. Good luck doing that in a Prius without anyone honking the crap out behind you. The sport suspension also helps the car feel solid around fast bends as well. There are a couple of faults however: braking isn't as refined as that on the CT200h but will stop perfectly fine once those huge disks starts clamping down. But the transition between regen brakes & actual brakes is touchy. Also (according to sister in passenger seat) the Q50S is bumpier & louder at freeway speeds vs. the Lexus IS350 F-sport. The leather (while soft & cushy) feels thin; my tester has a noticeable leather nicks by the door handles. The Lexus IS350 also has better seats as well as leather (Nuluxe synthetic & the real stuff both).

Brian is the reason I have my car. Very entertaining, and we'll spoken.

Infiniti has really stepped its game up! I like this hybrid version of the Q50 I would buy it in a heart beat

i love this review keep up the good work reviewing infiniti cars i like how you review em

Love this show.. I wait for every episode !

I have to commend you guys, you got a great show going here! love it!

Way to go Infiniti....they've really stepped up their game when it comes to tech.

Those small jumper boxes work well.. I got one in my car that charge the phone as well as the car

Now this is how should all car reviews be done, not just by "steering is good, brake is good, gear is good, engine is good" I bet most folks are just wanting to watch the car in action, not to hear its review. This video deserves way lot more views and likes

Hell, that Infiniti looks great. Definitely one of the best looking cars to date.

Loved the show. Future tech is what I would like.

Another awesome episode. Cooley rocks. \m/ hope to see the new Macan on the next episode!

"Ugly is included at no extra cost." HAHA

great show!

Brian the lag in the throttle response is because of the ECO Pedal setting. You need to turn it off in the settings because it is on by default.

Is that setup where the electronic steering cuts back to mechanical in an electrical failure unique to the hybrid only or does the non-hybrid have it too?

Great episode !

I can't wait for the "Road to the Future" segment :)

Brian Cooley, Jay Leno, and one more, would make an awesome Top Gear USA

Can you also provide the link to cnet news in the box below your video? Makes it easier for people to go to your website. Thanks.

My problem with drive by wire is the lack of steering feedback. Sure you can simulate a lot of it but I'm just not so sure that it will be the same. I guess I'd have to drive one before I decide

I agree with the silliness of Infiniti renaming / re-badging all the familiar models G series to Q series and so on. I understand they are trying to remake the brand, but I really don't think consumers are going to attribute much more to an Infiniti model simply because a G is now a Q etc... Plus it would be great for fans to follow their favorite model through the years respectively...

You don't just connect the jumper cables and start the other car. Yes it might work but mostly give it 5 min to give a little charge to the other car. Also run the donor car at rpm not at idle- the cars alternators are designed to charge and support the vehicle not to start also another one. If you have a 150amp V8 vehicle trying to start a 1.4 Civic yeah go ahead and do what Cooley did. But if it's the other way around make sure you give it some time and crank up those rpms on the donor car.

Something ins't clear to me - Cooley said that the BMW had the representative nodes for the battery, but then when he said to do a body ground that's NOT on the battery node, he clipped it to the same negative node he pointed out earlier as representative of the battery.

Awesome car with all it's tech and performance, he forgot to talk about the voice command and audio system which are absolutely phenomenal. However, I still think they need a few more revisions with the steer by wire and it's new in-touch system.

Did not see the Lithium battery charger as shown in the preview video, tisk tisk.

Excellent Review

Wait. .the rwd is faster4.9sec then the awd5.2sec??

And i thought my day gonna be bored , thanks Brian Cooley :D ..

I simply dont watch any car reviews. Only and always Brian Cooley.

It's weird how CNET on Cars website got the horsepower right on the written review and not the video. The hybrid uses the VQ35vhr which is 302hp plus 67hp from the electric motor. The gas powered only version has the 328hp VQ37vhr that's carry over from the G37.

I LOVE YOU COOLEY!

If you have a battery like in my 02 Civic you can top off the cells with distilled water. They do go low on water inside the cell which makes them not last as long. We used to do this ALL the time on batteries for R/C Airplanes long before Lithium Poly batteries came out.

Awesome show.

Can anybody tell me what kind of processors they use in the infotainment system?

Where is the link to CNET test on smaller portable pack battery jumper? I searched and other videos come up but not CNET.

I drove the hybrid for about 10 minutes and didn't notice any bad throttle response, What do you guys think about this?

Wish the IIHS segment was longer.

me if I'am wrong,the reason Infinity adapted to the 'Q',it is because AUDI has most of the shares and distribute these cars,while Renault has most of the shares of Nissan

The reason y I subscribed at this channel....

Best car show on the internet.

How about an interview with the 2015 Acura tlx

Thank you Brian. Can you please explain the tech behind the batteries in Electric and Hybrid vehicles. Does the manufacturing of these batteries harm the environment or is it only beneficial in the long run? And why do full size cars do poorly in crash test when they seem heavier and more robust than small compacts?

Exterior looks similar to mazda6 in red except for the grill.

Actually you could use Super Capacitors to START your car without a lead acid battery. Holds for a long time even in cold temps. Check out other videos online.

Odd the awd is slower to 60 than the rwd, thats usually not the case. Perhaps due to the extra weight but still thats abnormal

I was expecting the Toyota or Scion iQ's rear airbag to be featured in this.

shut the trunk 7:20

One thing I noticed on this show is the lack of info on engine reliability which to me is always the selling point for me.

oooh yeah baby just picked up my Q50s Hybrid got a lease returned vehicle with only 8k miles in immaculate condition this car speaks volumes and the car was fully loaded only thing was missing from it was the illuminated kick plates and mud guards but after a few hours of tugging I got the sales guy to throw them in I also ordered the Stillen front low spoiler and rear diffuser which adds a very nice aggressive look but doesn't throw it off the high end look, so far this machine is all and more I'd expected from a car minus like the man said the screen clutter which like he said setting are dubbed but I did not buy this car because of a screen I bought it because of the power and tech it offers and omg the steering is tight when set to high very nice, well boys n gals if anyone in the so cal area know of any Infiniti meets please let me know I would like to meet people who share the same passion for these Nissan/Infiniti brand of cars, my others 1998 Nissan 240sx se aka S14 and 1991 Nissan 300zx na aka Z32.

I actually like this car, something about how the hood is longer than most cars

Thanks 👍

cooley is the best !

he reviews cars so good and its funny because we claims to drive a wood wagon or something like that.

At least this guy gets DAS. Amazing system indeed!

Great job with this car infiniti

I really like that new Infiniti

yes

Fully decked out acura TLX AWD for 45k or this q50 hybrid AWD with the deluxe package 56k. Crazy to think its 11k more....

Damn Cooley you forgot to tell them to disconnect the negative on the dead car after jumping it to see if it's the battery or the alternator that's the problem. Just like you forgot to fill the oil filter with oil before screwing it on ;-)

love your show u remind me of if , samual L Jackson reviewed automobiles

"WARNING: Always connect the BLACK clamp to the negative ( - ) terminal of the car battery first, then connect the RED clamp to the positive ( + ) terminal of the car battery to prevent damage to the device and/or the car battery. " This is taken from Amazon Product Description of PowerAll portable car jumper(the red one with the LED light). I believe the company itself put it in the description box. And Brian says connect the Red first and then Black to close the circuit? Who do I listen to? Thanks!

Road to the Future. Awww yeah!

I'm waiting on the new Q60 Coupe, the successor to the G35/37. Looks killer.

Ok can someone please explain to me... When he was talking about the Infiniti Q50 hybrid and he said that you got 4.9 sc 0-60 for RWD and 5.2 sc for AWD... Did it mean that we have both option in the car... Or he was talking about 2 different version of the car? And if it 2 different version of the car, how can the RWD be faster than AWD with the same amount of torque and approximately the same weight? Normally if you floor it with the AWD the tire will probably spin a bit then get the grip back , but with the RWD they will probably spend a lot more no? I don't know!!! I don't understand!!! I'm confused!!! can someone explain to me please? :'( Thank you in advance

Basically what that little 3D modeled graphic about the steering is saying is "you can't feel anything"

The panel looks laggy

That infotainment system is weird. It looks like they shoved in the standard 2008-2014 Nissan/Infiniti infotainment system on the top screen, then put in a wholly separate tablet computer with a recolored version of the 2014+ Murano and Maxima infotainment system on the bottom. And the two are not connected in any way and they completely duplicate each other's features, so you just decide which you want to use.

This looks nice

Nanny car, but I like it. Full-electronic steering system is interesting.

That infotainment system seems pretty laggy

Dream car, love Infiniti. Own a G35.

At 7:20 the person in the white Camry has their trunk open in the highway O_O

After working at my job which just received my two weeks notice,kitchen assholes and drunks, I load up videos with my 30$ unlimited phone plan, press pause and rest it on my window ledge, come back 20 mins later,press play,light some ganja, the life. For now,bigger dreams. Soldier on Soldiers.

Nice car.

7:25 - someone left their boot open on the freeway

He puts the COOL in COOLey

6:26 - the benefit of this is that not anyone will be able to align your wheels properly.

328+67=360? So its power not a simple addition like a lot of other hybrids.

Its not Cool if it doesn't have Cooley!

that q50 steering was engineered with the help of sebastian vettel.

Anyone have the Q50S? How do you like it so far?

Why is every in-car interface so laggy? Just scrolling through a page of apps looks so laggy and horrible when the lowest end of smartphones can do much better. Especially when the unit brags "Powered by Intel". If they can squeeze i7's into laptops as thin as a pencil, what the hell is in that head unit?!

Headlight looks like 2004 BMW 5 Series (E60).

Cooley is cool.

we need 100000 people to sign a petition to get Cooley on American Top Gear. That would be cool. Like our version of Clarkson.

I wonder will this predictive tech make drivers rely on it more and not pay attention as much.

i like this car and i like infiniti but it seems like their suffering from the cadillac disease, i can't quite put a finger on it but it just seems like both car makers have something missing that just isn't the same on a german car
