2016 Infiniti q60 coupe

Really really wanted to like this car....I've seen two out in the open, I am just not impressed...to the least, I think the OEM wheels don't do this car justice

I saw the q60RS in person today at the Orange County Auto show. I love the rear end front end design. I think the cars line are great. Well done in my opinion.

Went and saw one at the Infiniti dealership yesterday. While I think it's a nice looking car, it's just too big and heavy or me.

Redline Review... Sofyan Bey. I gotta say his reviews are on point. I like hearing what he has to say. Whether I test drove the car first or listened to his review first. I usually end up agreeing at least 90% of his review.

I am interested now to test drive a DAS Q. I'm a total opponent of the technology but his description of it made me curious. He called it weird and needing to get used to it. His first impressions were calling it unpredictable... Then he went on to say infiniti tried to remove the video game feel. But the car needs more work. He stressed a manual and DCT. I been wanting DCT for our Z's. Our cars are tuned in a way that DCT would only compliment it.

The Q doesn't seem as bad as I imagined it... I'm not easily swayed in my convictions but I'd teat drive now. I didn't even wanna know about DAS on the Q50. I tested the numb *** electric steer.

Just praying for hydraulic steering on the Z.

Unbiased review that lacks fanboy criticism. Just the honest positive n negative aspect of the car and tech.

I think the grip Z is the peak you're looking for. It's just gonna be lowered. My gut is telling me the Z and Juke will look extremely similar and built on the same chassis IF it in fact comes out?

That said... I still want the same thing you do. Cuz my statement is a speculation. I'd love to hear a fact about it.

No dual-clutch = no buy

Audi did the same thing with the new S5 auto only.

according to my buddy who recently traded his 12? 13? DAS enabled Q50S for the Q50 with that tt engine, the steering programming and all is COMPLETELY improved.

dat das system is one of the main reasons why I hate the Q's..

Infiniti Turns up the Volume with New Sport Exhaust Kit for 2017 Q50, Q60 | Automobile Magazine

Infiniti made a sport exhaust for the Q. I dunno how they bypassed that on the S model to begin with?
