Infiniti Q60 red sport packages/pricing: A mish mash of lunacy, ridiculousness and lacking all forms of value.

Infiniti Red sport base price with the standard equipment:

$54,455

Nissan will DECEPTIVELY SHOW YOU A PRICE OF... $51,300,
the next page will add destination of $52,205
until you pick ANY STANDARD interior color. The price instantly inflates to $54,455

So Nissan has the first standard interior as an $2,245 option. Do we put out of sitting down in our cars?

What's standard:
-Outdated nav
-heated seats
-rear mirror/compass/combo
-memory seats
-sunroof
-BEAUTIFUL leather seats.
- basic power mirrors etc...

What's packaged that should also be standard:
-360 rear camera
-blind spot intervention
-intelligent cruise control
-Wi-Fi

What's missing on all Q60's for entry price:
-Cooled seats
-Bigger moonroof
-Updated Nav
-Standard paddle shifters on all models

What should be a unpackaged standalone option:
-Direct adaptive steer
-Adaptive headlights

What's missing in Red Sport:
-Red accents for one.
-Red sport tire package not -aggressive enough.
-BETTER WHEEL+TIRE
-DCT
-REAL LSD

What's a fail at in all sub-models.
-No paddle shift in all models
-taking out magnesium paddles
-7AT transmission
-Not using hydro-electric steering as an option throughout the range.

What's a fail in Red Sport:
To warrant $54,455 in the red sport? I give you these missing features;
-No Red accents for one.
-No Red sport tire package not -aggressive enough.
-No BETTER WHEEL+TIRE
-No DCT
-No REAL LSD

Why Nissan insists on fail packaging that leaves them behind in the feature list is beyond me. Hyundai has become more impressive.

This is why the Q has to be the most beautiful car on the road. Cuz inside, it has no substance.

This car in features has been outclassed by a $23,000 Hyundai. Granted the performance aspect is apples to oranges. But with an outdated transmission, Hyundai like paddle shifters, and a lack of 21at century features in a modern car leaves the Infiniti far behind once you're coughing up $60,000+.
There's at least a $6,000 déficit in value if you add the BSI, WI-FI & 360 camera. As configured:

The 2.0 shouldn't exist....
3.0 should start @ $40,000
3.0 sport should =$43,000
The Red Sport @ $46,000
Loaded with every option it should be $58,000

The Camaro out options this car in every way at its $63,000 price tag at a mere $50,000. There's not $13,000 more car inside the infiniti.

When you have cars like the M2, Audi TT-S in the same price range as the 400RS.

YOU'RE PAYING $8,000 FOR BEAUTIFUL SEATS.and the VANITY aspect of its design. I think this car May suffer, 2012, 370z syndrome at refresh time?

THE VERDICT:
Lease or buy one used.
