A redesigned G goes on sale this summer and will be renamed Q50. The outgoing car is agile and fun to drive, and the strong 3.7-liter V6 and seven-speed automatic make the car quick yet return 21 mpg overall. While the engine is a bit loud at high revs, the car is quiet at highway speeds. The ride is well controlled but not especially cushy and the cabin is a little snug, especially in the rear. The interior has high-quality materials and easy-to-use controls. All-wheel drive is optional on both the coupe and sedan. The hard-top convertible suffers from body shake. Reliability of the sedan and coupe versions has been well above average, but the convertible is well below average.
