Here at last is an Infiniti to get excited about.

The long-awaited and fully revised Q45 is here and it appears to meet the high standards that the company has set for the relaunch of its flagship. Now we have a Q45 that fulfills the promise of the original car -- a take-no-prisoners luxury automobile with the amenities and performance that's ready to take on Lexus and the high-end German sedans.

The new Q45 highlights new exterior styling and state-of-the-art safety components. Other features include a voice recognition system, auto-dimming outside mirrors, a large center-console LCD electronic display that logs such information as audio and climate control information as well as tire pressure, fuel economy and vehicle maintenance. Our test car had the optional navigation system, which also uses the LCD display.

Other options not included on our test car but available now or later include a rear-mounted video camera to assist in backing the car, and an intelligent cruise control system that deploys laser guidance to control engine throttle and braking to maintain a set distance between the Q45 and the vehicle ahead.

The new Q45 has its own distinctive body design. The flanks present a clean sweep with no excess ornamentation. The front end features a bold grille with horizontal bars.
