This Name That Car episode isn't for my own curiosity or to introduce people to an obscure vehicle.  The driver of this car was harassing some of our female employees outside of our unstaffed secondary warehouse that is about two blocks from our main warehouse/business.  We think he is also likely the person who has occasionally been breaking in and stealing merchandise at night.  I know I have seen this car profile/rear door/tail light shape a thousand times but for the life of me I can't figure out what it belongs to.  Looks vaguely Nissanish/Audiish to me but I can't find a matching model and generation online, so if anyone can throw a hint my way I'd be very grateful.  yes

That looks very Infinity to me, Q50 perhaps?

 

edit; G37. wheels even look to be the same

My first thought was also Infiniti, it does look like a Q50:

Comparing the pics, it's a tough call but it does look more like the G37 4dr.

I think the most visible difference is the taillights - also being on G37 wheels.

I was thinking Infiniti G37 (same as Q50)

I think it looks more Q40-like to me:

edit
looks like the G37 sedan got renamed to Q40 at some point, so best to search on both those terms?

Yes, it looks like a 2007-2014 G25/G35/G37/Q40. Wheels might help narrow down which year and/or trim if you look through some old brochures online. All basically the same car though. The Q50 was the next gen of the car, temporarily sold simultaneous to the Q40, and has the wrong tail lights for the original picture.

Does this unstaffed off-site warehouse have security cameras?

Dammit I love this place!  I step away for a few minutes to do some actual work and it's already answered by multiple people. 

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Did you step away to buy cameras for the warehouse?  I would.

Yeah, I scrolled back up to see how many minutes it took for the answer. GRM is awesome.

We don't own the warehouse space, we are leasing it.  It's very close to us and dirt cheap, but problems like this have been an ongoing problem.  The landlord has been pretty unresponsive... until now.  He just had someone break in and steal a LOT of 500mcm copper wiring out of it and it'll cost him $50K+ for an electrician to fix the damage.
