The guys at Infiniti sent us this spy shot of their first entry into the compact car segment and it looks good.

But that's just my first impression.

This baby has yet to be put to public test, with the production version to be revealed at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt in September.

Infiniti is apparently in the final stages of preparing the car's launch and has been furiously testing the prototype in the UK.

The Q30 will go on sale in Europe towards the end of 2015 with other markets to follow.
