If they maintain that philosophy and approach, we could finally see a true performance arm of Infiniti, while the Z gets the performance bits it truly deserves.
That's kind of what I was thinking. The high performance Z/Q60 would get the dual clutch to go up against the M/AMG/RS models and the lower high volume versions would stick to the regular AT to keep the more luxury side.
