1997 Infiniti Q45 Review

Elegantly redefined.

1997 Q45 Review Summary & Specifications

The facial make-over was successful. The new look is better. The fiddling

with the engine was also successful--no decrease in performance with an

increase in efficiency.

The Q45 has a small window sticker edge compared with its major upscale

competitors, and its all-around competence continues to be impressive.

We think the recipe for the new Q45 should expand its range of fans.
