Hillsborough superintendent: Online learning is going well By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

ublic and private school administrators throughout New Jersey have instituted online or remote learning to educate students during the coronavirus pandemic over the past couple of weeks. For how the Hillsborough Township Public Schools have been handling online learning, Superintendent of Schools Lisa Antunes said the district has been doing really well with the transformation to online learning and has seen students, teachers and parents come together to help make the process better for everyone one. “There is so much going well with remote learning,” Antunes said. “Students, parents and staff have embraced the flexible learning plan and their collective efforts have enabled the district to ensure that students continue to learn and grow throughout this crisis.” Online learning platforms such as Google Classroom and Google Meet have been forms of contact that students and teachers have been using to stay connected and conduct class, Antunes said. Google Classroom is the primary platform teachers are using to conduct classes and to post work material. Google Meet and other video conferencing platforms are being used by students and teachers to meet together virtually and for teachers to create video lesson plans for students. Teachers who have their own

webpage in the Genesis Portal on the district’s website will also use that platform as a way to post assignments and materials, just as they would if remote learning was not in place. Students and teachers generally meet from 8 a.m. to noon each day during their regularly scheduled classes. As a part of the district’s flexible learning plan, Antunes said students have the choice to virtually attend classes when they are scheduled to meet or learn in an asynchronous manner throughout the day. In the afternoon, teachers generally will meet with each other virtually to plan out their course schedule for the next day. Because of the flexibility that is associated with online learning, many teachers have begun sharing workloads and resources to help create better lesson plans for their students. Teachers will give continuous feedback to students about how they are doing with online learning, Antunes said. For safety reasons, only fulltime teachers have access to communicate and educate students for online learning, according to district administrators. Antunes said administrators are encouraging parents to maintain a regular and consistent schedule for their children and to adjust expectations for learning and working from home. So far, the biggest challenge with online learning has been

meeting the needs of the younger students, Antunes said, but the superintendent said she is pleased with the efforts of the staff. “Ensuring we have access to meet the learning needs of the

younger students has proven to be a challenge, but we are very proud of the dedicated efforts of the staff,” she said. “We also want to be sure our staff has the tools they need to move forward in a produc-

tive manner.” Antunes said administrators will continue to monitor the online learning program as all schools remain closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

NJEDA approves programs to support businesses during outbreak

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) approved a suite of new programs designed to support businesses and workers facing economic hardship due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19. The package of initiatives includes a grant program for small businesses, a zero-interest loan program for mid-size companies, support for private-sector lenders and Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFIs), funding for entrepreneurs, and a variety of resources providing technical support and marketplace information, according to information provided by the NJEDA. Taken together, they will provide more than $75 million of state and private financial support, with the opportunity to grow to more than $100 million if additional philanthropic, state and federal resources become available. The initiatives will support between 3,000 and 5,000 small and midsize enterprises and are meant to complement recently announced

federal economic recovery initiatives, according to the statement. More information about the programs will be available at cv.business.nj.gov. “The outbreak of the novel coronavirus in New Jersey has sent us into uncharted territory, and the economic impacts will be significant and far-reaching, especially on Main Street. The scope and scale of this new challenge requires immediate action to support New Jersey workers and businesses,” Gov. Phil Murphy said in the statement. “The new NJEDA programs announced today are a critical step that will mitigate the economic impacts of this unprecedented challenge and help workers and businesses to weather the storm and come out stronger when things return to normal.” Development of the grant program, support for CDFIs, and flexibility for current NJEDA borrowers was enabled by the legislature through A3845. Primary sponsors of the legislation include Assemblymembers Roy Freiman, Louis D. Greenwald and Ronald S. Dancer, and Senators Nilsa Cruz-Perez and Brian Stack. The new NJEDA initiatives focus on businesses that have been hit hardest by the novel coronavirus

outbreak: local small businesses, mid-size businesses that have had to close or drastically reconfigure operations, and new businesses that were just getting on their feet before the crisis hit, according to the statement. Many of the resources are designed to be scalable with the addition of federal and philanthropic resources if they become available. Philanthropic partners interested in donating to support the NJEDA’s small business grant program should reach out to donations@njeda.com. “Small- and medium-sized enterprises are the heartbeat of New Jersey’s economy and it is crucial that we do what we can to provide the resources and assistance they need to withstand the outbreak of novel coronavirus,” NJEDA Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan said in the statement. “In coordination with our partners throughout state government, we are undertaking an unprecedented effort to support these businesses and the New Jersey residents who rely on them for their livelihoods. These are challenging times, but New Jerseyans are resilient, and together we will get through this and rebuild our economy.” The suite of new initiatives includes: • Small Business Emergency As-

sistance Grant Program: A $5 million program that will provide grants up to $5,000 to small businesses in retail, arts, entertainment, recreation, accommodation, food service and other services – such as repair, maintenance, personal and laundry services – to stabilize their operations and reduce the need for layoffs or furloughs. • Small Business Emergency Assistance Loan Program – A $10 million program that will provide working capital loans of up to $100,000 to businesses with less than $5 million in revenues. Loans made through the program will have 10-year terms with zero percent for the first five years, then resetting to the EDA’s prevailing floor rate (capped at 3.00%) for the remaining five years. • Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI) Emergency Loan Loss Reserve Fund: A $10 million capital reserve fund to take a first loss position on CDFI loans that provide low interest working capital to micro businesses. This will allow CDFIs to withstand loan defaults due to the outbreak, which will allow them to provide more loans at lower interest rates to microbusinesses affected by the outbreak. • CDFI Emergency Assistance Grant Program: A $1.25 million pro-

gram that will provide grants of up to $250,000 to CDFIs to scale operations or reduce interest rates for the duration of the outbreak. • NJ Entrepreneur Support Program: A $5 million program that will encourage continued capital flows to new companies, often in the innovation economy, and temporarily support a shaky market by providing 80 percent loan guarantees for working capital loans to entrepreneurs. • Small Business Emergency Assistance Guarantee Program: A $10 million program that will provide 50 percent guarantees on working capital loans and waive fees on loans made through institutions participating in the NJEDA’s existing Premier Lender or Premier CDFI programs. • Emergency Technical Assistance Program: A $150,000 program that will support technical assistance to New Jersey-based companies applying for assistance through the U.S. Small Business Administration. The organizations contracted will be paid based on SBA application submissions supported by the technical assistance they provide. For more information on the NJEDA’s new programs, including eligibility requirements, visit cv.business.nj.gov.

LOOSE ENDS

Friday, April 3, 2020

By Pam Hersh

Princeton University Reunions might have actually died for a few minutes, but then I remembered Reunions. I put on my class jacket, found my energy, and here I am.” When I asked him the reason for the intense attachment to this event, he said, “It’s like trying to describe heaven – you can’t and there is nothing else like it in the world.” I can’t verify the heaven portion, but it is a fairly well known fact that there is no other reunions experience in the world like Princeton’s. At these celebrations, I have been satisfied to play the outsider/observer role, reveling in the sights and sounds. I never participated in the drinking, networking, hugging/backslapping/fist-bumping, singing of Old Nassau, eating or partying. But I heard and felt the beat of the music infusing the air, the laughter and the incessant conversation. I noticed how sadness over deceased friends, divisive divorces and devastating world events played second fiddle to the celebration of life – an emotion we all so dearly are craving these days. Princeton University last put Reunions on hold during World War II, from 1943 through 1945, when PU President Harold Dodds wrote that continuing the gatherings would be “contrary to the spirit in which the university is serving in these crucial days.” Before that, Reunions were canceled in 1917 and 1918 for World War I. Since 1994, a particularly joyful addition to Reunions has been the Princeton University Orchestra lawn concert and spectacular fireworks display, open to all members of the public, no special wristband needed. Dorothy Bedford, PU Class of 1978, led the implementation of Princeton University’s 250th birthday celebration that included what was supposed to be a one-time concert and fireworks. One time, however, became all the time, and since 1994, the concert and fireworks have become an annual feature of Reunions weekend, with Dorothy continuing as executive producer of the event. Prepared to just mope around and

long for the 2021 Reunions, I was fortunate enough to run into (but six feet apart) Joanne Farrugia, much closer in size to me than Bill Bradley. Another passionate devotee of Reunions, Joanne, a longtime Princeton merchants advocate, talked about how the cancellation of Reunions meant a big economic hit, not only for her legendary toy store JaZams, but also for all of her Palmer Square and downtown Princeton merchant colleagues. But displaying the pick-yourself-up optimism characteristic of the Reunions, she found some inspiring news in the midst of the current tremendous health and economic anxiety. Even though JaZams is closed to in-person purchases, she is still filling online customer orders and sending out boxes of joy to kids

throughout New Jersey. The most unexpectedly joyful development in these past few weeks is the fact that she has gotten anonymous donations – thus far $1,875 – from people who want boxes of joy sent to needy children in Princeton. The store is donating 20 percent of the value of all donated gifts. Working with Princeton’s Johnson Park School Principal Robert Ginsberg, she is sending gift certificates for online purchases at JaZams to kids in the Princeton elementary schools’ freelunch program. The toys provide sustenance to the spirit – and they lifted my spirits just knowing that the recipients of these gift certificates were about to discover a joy equal to that of being able to march in a P-Rade.

ay 30, 2015, was the last time I ran into – or more accurately, looked way up to – Bill Bradley, Princeton University (PU) Class of ’65. The former U.S. senator and renowned Princeton basketball legend was on campus five years ago to celebrate his 50th PU reunion. The first time I met him was in 1964, when I was a 5’0” freshman at Douglass College and he was a 6’5” junior at Princeton. I was hoping for the opportunity to look up at him again, as he celebrated his 55th reunion this year. But that is not going to happen. Minuscule COVID-19 virus, packing a giant punch, has felled the 2020 Princeton University Reunions. “While we will miss this opportunity to gather with generations of Princetonians and family members for our flagship alumni event, we have determined that convening 25,000 people on campus for a largescale, celebratory event — particularly one that relies on the dedication of hundreds of student employees and countless alumni volunteers — is not possible or prudent at this time,” the university’s reserved announcement said. As a non-alumna with no familial connection to Princeton University, I am perplexed why the news about Reunions cancellation felt like a punch in the gut to me. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have attended every single Reunions celebration since 1980 – thus my 40th Princeton Reunion. My participation over the years has been as a reporter, editor, columnist, P-Rade (the Reunions Parade) marshal/usher, but most significantly as an observer who has succumbed to the unmitigated joy exhibited every year at this event. The Reunions experience unquestionably is a fountain of youth elixir for the spirit. Twenty years ago, a member of the “Old Guard” alumni group (those alumni celebrating any reunion past their 65th) summed up the power of the emotional connection in the following way: “I was in the hospital for several weeks, everyone had given up on me, I think I

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Friday, April 3, 2020

By Michele S. Byers

Help the Garden State’s farmers this year

arming is unpredictable, with crops dependent on good soils and the right amounts of sun and rain. Droughts, floods, wind storms, blights and pest infestations can all derail a farm’s growing season. This year, with the worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, farmers face additional challenges. Many farmers’ livelihoods depend on selling to restaurants, but in New Jersey and beyond many restaurants have either shut down or switched to take-out meals. “Some of our farmers are really going to be hurting this year,” said Stephanie Harris, secretary of the board of directors of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Jersey (NOFA-NJ). How can you help farmers in the Garden State? Start by “eating local” and buying as many fruits, vegetables and other farm products as possible from New Jersey farmers. One thing you can do right now is purchase a share in a CSA farm. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and it helps keep local farmers strong while guaranteeing that you will get the freshest and tastiest vegetables for your table this summer. In the early spring, farmers have lots of expenses – seeds, supplies and equipment – and not much income. With a CSA, members of the community buy up-front “shares” – also known as memberships or subscriptions – to keep farmers going until their crops are ready to harvest. In return, CSA shareholders get healthy, seasonal produce each week throughout the harvest season. Many CSAs allow members to customize their shares according to household size, vegetable preferences and vacation schedules, and a

SOLUTIONS

few toss in extras like inviting members to help themselves to “U-pick” crops. Some CSAs even offer direct deliveries to homes. “We would really like to encourage people to sign up for CSAs early to help our farmers,” said Stephanie. You can also buy fresh produce at local farm markets. Beginning in a month or two, hundreds of farm markets will pop up in cities and towns across the Garden State. Not only do those farm markets offer locally grown fruits and veggies, but they are also chock-full of farm products like cheeses, eggs, pickles, salsas, jams, honey, baked goods, flowers and locally made soaps and candles. Farm markets will have to take coronavirus precautions, but they won’t be prohibited from opening. Said Stephanie, “The governor has determined farm markets are an essential service.” Supporting local farmers not only helps New Jersey’s economy, but also can help reduce emissions that contribute to the climate crisis. Buying locally grown produce creates less air pollution since produce is not being trucked across the country. Buy organic produce whenever possible, because going organic and eating less meat helps to further reduce the climate impacts of our food choices. Many farms are adopting sustainable agricultural practices like no-till or less-till planting, growing winter cover crops, rotating crops and planting companion crops. And many organic farmers are practicing “regenerative” agriculture, which boosts microbes in the soil that store carbon.

Some studies report that if farmers around the world switched to regenerative methods, soils could absorb enough carbon to significantly decrease the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. According to Stephanie, the coronavirus outbreak has highlighted another issue in New Jersey: food security – that is, making sure there os enough food to feed all nine million of the Garden State’s residents. “We have to increase the food security of New Jersey because we import so much from other countries and other states,” she said. To improve New Jersey’s food independence and security, NOFA-NJ encourages families to start their own backyard victory garden, just as families did during World War II. For folks living in places without space for backyard gardens, many towns and nonprofit organizations offer “community gardens” where people can rent or borrow a small garden plot for the season. There is no single comprehensive listing of CSA farms in New Jersey, but there are several ways to find farms near you. The New Jersey Department of Agriculture’s “Jersey Fresh” program has an interactive map at https://findjerseyfresh.com/availability/ and the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Jersey has an interactive map of organic farms at https://farmandfoodguide.com/ Local Harvest offers a searchable database at https:// www.localharvest.org/csa/ Michele S. Byers is the executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, Far Hills. She may be reached at info@njconservation.org

Which way will we go?

any are wondering if we are at some crossroads, some inflexion point which will lead to lasting changes in our country, and maybe the world. Responding to the coronavirus has called for unprecedented infusions of money and credit to save lives and the economy. But the situation has also called for discipline, through social distancing and less traveling and purchasing, and for reducing needs and our expenditures of energy. To some, this has raised the question: what is it that we really need in our lives? A related revelation, suddenly more widely evident, is that many Americans have little or no financial cushion. Common sense and social responsibility urge that this be addressed, by citizens and their governments. Is this crisis, then, an opportunity to re-evaluate and possibly reset many of the ways we live? Given the range of long-term problems we face, the answer would seem to be a resounding “Yes!” Another change we are witnessing is the worldwide reduction in emissions. Reduced manufacturing and travel have noticeably reduced emissions. Air and water bodies, globally, are suddenly cleaner. Once we get through the

HEALTH MATTERS

worst of the coronavirus crisis, should we not make co-operative efforts to maintain these reduced emissions? Should we avoid simply returning to pre-virus levels? Here again, the answer should be “Yes.” For our own welfare we should take the opportunity to change. While globally, and across this country, people and governments are taking steps to go green and preserve environments – Nature, its wildlife and vegetation – to date we have not yet turned the corner. World temperatures this year are already at record levels. Waters along Australia’s Great Barrier Reef have also reached record-breaking temperatures. As this warming continues over the next decade, in large part from the heat already in our atmosphere and oceans, a range of problems will only get worse. What the coronavirus crisis warns us is – Don’t wait to begin addressing the situation. Sadly, both of these crises were predicted before their arrival. A number of scientists, James Hansen and others, predicted global warming back in the ‘70s. Exxon’s scientists also did so in those years, until the company quashed their conclusions.

Bill Gates and several fiction writers predicted global outbreaks of disease and warned that we were not prepared for them. But we didn’t heed them or seriously begin to plan or prepare. Now will the current crisis motivate enough of our populations to respond to the climate crisis or prepare for the next outbreak? Polls show that a majority of Americans now believe that global warming is real and is caused by man’s activities. But our president has called this a hoax. Fortunately a number of states and their governors have joined efforts to address the climate crisis, but we need both national and international leadership. We have elections coming up. We need leaders at all governmental levels, but particularly at the top, who can understand and respond coherently and concertedly to these crises, and to other social problems such as inequality, poverty, education, immigration and infrastructure. In the coronavirus and the climate crisis, we have existential challenges facing us. Perhaps we can learn from both that now is the time, now it is essential, to make changes in the ways we live and how we prioritize our lives and societies.

Taking Action Helps Asthma Sufferers Reduce Risk for Complications

ore than 26 million Americans have asthma, a chronic condition that makes it harder to move air in and out of your lungs, according to the American Lung Association. In general, asthma can be effectively managed and treated so people can go about their normal day-to-day activities without experiencing shortness of breath. Asthma sufferers, however, are at greater risk for complications from other respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19, as well as the flu and pneumonia. This is why it is especially important for asthma sufferers to take precautions to protect their health and have an asthma action plan. About Asthma Asthma is a chronic condition that affects your lungs and is characterized by inflammation, swelling and hypersensitiv-

ity of the airways that can make it difficult to breathe. Additionally, because the airways are hypersensitive, they overreact to things people are exposed to every day, like dust and pollen, triggering an asthma attack. Other common triggers include tobacco smoke, outdoor air pollution, pet dander, mold, smoke from burning wood or grass, changes in the weather, stress, and infections like the cold and flu. During an attack, the airways that carry air and exchange oxygen in your lungs swell and shrink. As less air gets in and out, mucous production increases and clogs up the airways. An asthma attack can cause coughing, wheezing, tightness in the chest and trouble breathing. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and in extreme cases can be life-threatening. Managing Asthma Though there is no cure for asthma, once diagnosed it

can normally be managed and treated with medication and, whenever possible, by avoiding triggers. Most people with asthma will need to take inhaled corticosteroids daily to reduce inflammation and help stop symptoms before they start. Additionally, quick-relief medications called short-acting beta 2-agonists may need to be used when symptoms flare up and lead to an attack. These medicines, which are delivered through a rescue inhaler, act quickly to relax tight muscles around the airway and restore airflow. As the American Lung Association notes, when asthma is well-controlled you typically experience few symptoms and can perform daily activities without trouble, allowing you to live a normal life.

Notice is hereby given that an Ordinance entitled:

In addition, while everyone should be vaccinated against the flu each year, it is especially important for people with asthma, as they are at greater risk for serious complications. Asthma sufferers should also talk with their healthcare provider about getting vaccinated against pneumonia. Asthma and COVID-19 People with asthma may be at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The virus can affect your respiratory tract, cause an asthma attack and possibly lead to pneumonia and acute respiratory disease. There is currently no specific treatment for or vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The CDC suggests that the best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to the virus through the following: • Avoiding close contact with people who are sick. • Avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth. • Practicing social distancing. • Cleaning and disinfecting high-touch objects and surfaces (counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and bedside tables) using a regular household cleaning spray or wipes. • Washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Follow Your Asthma Action Plan In addition to taking steps to prevent exposure to COVID-19, the CDC recommends following an asthma action plan, including: • Taking your asthma medication exactly as prescribed. Talk to your healthcare provider, insurer and pharmacist about creating an emergency supply of prescription medications, such as asthma inhalers. • Making sure that you have 30 days of non-prescription medications and supplies on hand in case you need to stay home for a long time. • Knowing how to use your inhaler. • Avoiding your asthma triggers. • Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces. • Taking steps to help cope with stress and anxiety. In addition, the CDC recommends getting a flu shot if you have not received one yet this year – it reduces risk of influenza and avoids confusion with COVID-19 if you become sick. As the effects of COVID-19 are felt throughout central New Jersey, Penn Medicine Princeton Health remains committed to providing high-quality, comprehensive care to the community,

PETER PERROTTA

2020 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 AWD

often wonder if these big car manufacturers actually pay design engineers big bucks to sit around opulent conference rooms and come up with the ridiculous names they use for the colors of their exterior paints. Instead of just Peter Perrotta using the basic colors of the rainbow spectrum, these guys come up with: Gun Metallic; Cinnamon Brown Pearl; Black Sapphire Metallic; Iridium Silver Metallic; Go Mango; Dark Moss; Sea Glass Pearl; Lagoon Blue Pearl. You get the point. So, if I told you this week’s review car has a “Dynamic Sunston” exterior with a “Quilted Gallery” interior you would have no trouble finding it in the parking lot, right? LOL Or, I could just play you Prince’s 1983 smash hit “Little Red Corvette”, in which he croons: “Move over baby, gimme the keys. I’m gonna tame your little red love machine.” While it’s not a Corvette, the 2020 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 AWD that I recently drove for one week is definitely a “red machine” that one could easily fall in love with. As it turns out, “Dynamic Sunston” is a sporty red – almost like a sparkly bronzed red – and “Quilted Gallery” is a very, very light creamy leather interior – almost white. This is a very appealing combination – unless, of course you have very small kids who want to eat PB&J’s and lollipops on road trips. Taming this beast of a sports, luxury sedan, though, is horse of a different color. The standard engine on the Red Sport 400 AWD is an exciting 3.0 liter, V6 twin turbo powerplant that puts out an impressive 400 horsepower at 350 pound feet of torque. When you match that with a smooth 7 speed automatic transmission, 19-inch

at $2,200 per year as it uses about 4.5 gallons of gas per 100 miles of driving. This particular vehicle has not received a rating for the government’s 5-star safety crash tests yet. My overall impression of this vehicle is quite positive. A number of car critics have knocked it for its loud or noisy cabin and for lacking much pizazz on its interior design. While I don’t agree on the noise factor, I kind of see where some of the critics are coming from about the understated feel and look of the interior cabin. However, I don’t feel the lack of a more fresh, modern look should prevent anyone from giving this car serious consideration, especially if you are thinking about leasing or purchasing a luxury, sports sedan. I feel there are enough positive attributes with this vehicle – particularly in its outward appearance and exciting drivability – to overcome the possible negatives. Moreover, on the interior, I found the dual screen set-up of the center infotainment system to be a winner. While Consumer Reports says “Infiniti’s touch-screen infotainment system is very cumbersome to use, requiring multiple steps and extra distraction for simple tasks,” I couldn’t disagree more. I think the dual screen set-up is fantastic. The top touch screen is exclusively to display your navigation system and back-up camera view. While, the screen below it can be used for climate, audio, phone and other car settings. For me, this set up is a winner. You can control your much used functions – like phone, climate and audio – while still enjoying an uninterrupted view of your navigation map guidance. I found the Infiniti infotainment system simple to use and very functional. Comfort wise, the seats and roominess of this Q50 are more than adequate. “These are some of the most comfortable seats ever,” my wife exclaimed when she slipped into the passenger seat. The Q50 Red Sport 400 AWD is worth checking out. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears weekly. Comments are welcome. You can contact him at peter@capitalmotorcars.com

All 2020 Q50 models receive a new-generation Infiniti InTouch System with HD dual-display LCD/VGA 8-inch upper and 7-inch lower touchscreens.

aluminum alloy Red Sport 400 wheels, sport brakes with red calipers and an “exclusive” Red Sport 400 dual exhaust, it makes for quite an impressive sports car to try and tame. I did my best for the week that I had it. The drive mode selector on the center console affords the driver five options: standard, eco, sport, sport plus and snow. I admittedly fell in love with the “sport plus” mode. While in sport plus, this sports sedan – thanks to the upgraded sport twin tip exhaust – emits a very satisfying growl when you step on it to do an aggressive lane change or interstate pass. Some noted car critics have blasted this Red Sport for having a “noisy” interior cabin. I don’t agree. If you are the type of consumer that’s going to buy or lease a Red Sport 400, I really don’t think you would be the type of driver who would be after the safe, boring quiet sedan ride. Nope, folks. The sheer fun of this car is in it’s impressive power, sexy styling and pinpoint handling. In all those categories, this car hits a home run. However, for a top of the line Q50, all this fun doesn’t come cheap.

The Q50 Red Sport 400 AWD I tested carries a base price of $56,250. After you add the options and the $1,025 destination fee, the total MSRP sticker price of my tester came in at $60,745. The options included: $800 for the exclusive paint; $270 for a cargo package that included a carpeted trunk mat, cargo net, first aid kit and shopping bag hooks; $465 for Infiniti “welcome” lighting; $1,520 for a carbon fiber package and $145 for rear USB charging ports. The Q50 is available in four different trim lines, ranging from a base price of $36,400, for the Pure, to the top-of-theline Red Sport at $56,250. The trim levels are Pure, Luxe, Sport and Red Sport 400. While my tester featured an impressive automatic AWD system, the Q50 is also available in a rear wheel drive version. The lower priced models feature a 3.0 liter V6 turbo that puts out 300 horsepower, while my tested had the amped up 3.0 liter V6 turbo that put out 400 ponies. The EPA rated gas mileage figures for my tester are 22 miles per gallon overall – 19 mpg in city driving and 26 mpg on the highway. It’s annual fuel cost is estimated
