The Premium version also gets heated and powered reclining rear seats with power entry assist, rear B-pillar HVAC vents, upgraded leather and wood trim to make the interior truly hedonistic. As a finishing touch the grille is given a brighter titanium-tint to match its chrome alloy wheels.

As expected all Q45s feature a full array of standard safety features, from dual-stage front airbags to front seat active head restraints, front seat side-impact and side-curtain airbags for all outside seating positions, front and rear.

So how much does all this exclusive luxury cost? If we were talking classic car prices, which generally go up the rarer a car is, it should cost more than its competitors. But being that Infiniti is building market share, it might just be the best deal in the full-size luxury segment. Before discounts, rebates or financing offers, ask your local dealer about any of these, the price of entry for the Sport model is $74,900. Add a navigation package to the sticker, the only option, and the number climbs by $3,400 to $78,300. The full-load Q45 Premium starts and finishes at $85,800, there are no options.

So if you're unique enough to drive something truly distinct, a rolling statement that screams defiance at cookie cutter shapes of generic sameness, the Q45 just might be the answer.
