In Infiniti's latest spot to launch its brand new Q50 model, we are taken through a factory of conformity, rules and production. Robotic voices command: ‘Simulation is beauty’ and ‘Compliance is security’. All of a sudden, there is a glitch in the system when one individual breaks free from conformity to escape in the new Q50.
Daniel Pardo, Group Account Director of Infiniti, commented: “We wanted drivers to realize they can experience luxury while not having to conform to the rigid constraints of an average luxury vehicle. The difference with the Q50 is that this a luxury car that truly adjusts to your individual driving preferences."
"The Infiniti Q50 pre-sale exceeded all expectations, becoming the most successful such program in Infiniti history," added Infiniti Americas Vice President Ben Poore. "There is exceptional interest in this stunningly designed Q50 and its breakthrough performance technologies such as Infiniti Direct Adaptive Steering, Active Lane Control and Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW). The Q50 also offers unmatched levels of connectivity and personalization – the perfect match for customers seeking Infiniti's unique fusion of inspired performance and hospitality."
