Someone posted a video of the exhaust note from the q50.. He mentioned that it sounds different in person though.. I'm sure they'll tweak it in the q60.

Please don't get me wrong, not trying to start an argument (or continue one). My whole point of this topic was as it relates to real world, Joe Blow daily driving with the Q60 which I have to think is the large segment of the buyers. For us, the occasion stepping on it to get that rush, a few tenths won't matter. I think the increased torque will have the greatest impact. I do realize 1/4 mile is a better measurement but again, in real life DD I think the 0-60 is more applicable.
Hypothetically if you happen to be out and about and are at a stop light and you get the urge to punch it and you are unaware the car next to you decides to do the same thing, in most cases you won't have a 1/4 mile to drive this way ..... hypothetically of course.
By now many members are probably, "will he shut-up already" so I will, last post on the discussion, thanks all for participating.

I'd have to assume someone who purchase a car with an extra hp option in fact does care about speed.
I for one would love to see what the engine can do, I'm pretty excited for it. If I like it I might buy it for my daily driver.

6,500 RPM redline, automatic transmission, and a tachometer that goes all the way up to 9,000 RPM. The dashboard must be confused, it's not an F20C under the hood. Seems a little bit like buying a box of Magnums when you just need the average size; while it might impress lookers-on, we both know that's not really what's gonna happen. There's no way it will ever, ever touch 9,000 or even 8,500 without shooting SEVERAL rods through the hood.

I'm a little more disappointed on the fact that the quilted seats/door trim didn't make it from the concept (yet the new Maxima has quilted seats). Disappointed that it doesn't offer ventilated seats (Maxima has had that too, even previous body style) and I wish they had the stretched display the Maxima has ...
Nissan Versa probably gets cooled seats.

I'm surprised that no one is talking about the feature in the 400hp model that allows the turbos to spin faster in "high performance driving". Surely this feature adds to the standard power figures of 400hp/350lb-tq. How much more is the mystery.

Think your talking about the optical turbo speed sensor! There is a lot of awesome new tech in the car and the engine, so I am expecting it to be a pretty stellar performer! They put a lot of work into this new engine and it should be a great successor to the VQ that it is replacing. It seems to be very tuneable and a great car right from the factory, can't really beat that!

I have to admit, cooled seats are very nice ... makes you feel like you pee'd your pants though. Another real nice option is the heated steering wheel.
