Everybody has heated and ventilated seats. The ones in my wife's new Lexus have an auto feature that automatically activates and adjusts the heat or cooling based on what the climate control for that seating position is set to. If you have the AC on full blast the cooled seats are on high, but only until the temperature stabilizes and then it automatically loweres itself. Same with the heat. Once the seat heats up it reduces the heat so your butt doesn't sweat until it's no longer needed and then it turns off.

Where is the Mustangs All Wheel Drive? LOL! Good luck driving one in the winter/snow when you encounter a hill.

Minimized the size of it. It became kinda sorta integrated, as did the stock silver spoiler on the G37. And now the completely integrated spoiler on the Q60. I love that G35 spoiler, but that size would not have fit the look of the G37.

And to your point(s) about 0-60 times, people that are that concerned about 0-60 times on the Q60 should likely look at other cars instead. Nowadays, there are a LOT of cars as fast or faster than the Q60. A 4.5 sec. 0-60 for a 3700/3800 lb. car will put a smile on most owner's faces, I would think, as that turbo torque hits early!
What are those lots of cars that are as fast or faster than a Q60? 5.3 seconds and have all wheel drive. For one..the new Lexus Coupe 350 is slower 0-60 than an 7 yr old G37 coupe. LOL!

That Mustang (prob loaded one) with heated/ventilated seats is prob almost the same price as base Q60.. No thanks... Good luck if you own it and the Ford hits about 7yrs old when everything starts to brake/fail... I've had Infinitis far more reliable.

The Q60 is the same old design from 2007. 8 year old CAR!

How did the G37 do in it's first year or 2 release?
Incorrect, G37 coupe came out new as a 2008. Still old.. but still looks nicer than the new BMW 2 door, IMHO. The BMW coupe looks too much like the sedan. The Infiniti styling still looks newish..

People have no clue how to detect what's wrong with a car. Dealerships do.
Agreed! Most of the used Infinitis are CPO cars, they do multi point checks and inspections and they came off either the 24 or 39 month leases. I've had very great luck with them. Save far more over buying new. My current one G37X coupe came off a 24 month lease and only had 10k miles on it. Owner kept it like new... If you find anything questionable the dealer will usually fix or make it right before you take possession. I had mine remove dings at their expense, put new tires on etc.

Not even close...a GT with premium package, premier interior upgrade, nav, etc comes in around $42-45k...plus you get more hp

You might be right.. a G, oops Q now, coupe is not worth $60k. The current IPL loaded Convertible is over $60k MSRP.. It's not worth $20k over a base model. LOL!

Though Infiniti may offer more value but similar performance they can't do it for same or even similar money. Brand cache does play a role and there is a pecking order. Lexus, Audi and MB have significantly better interiors. All of the above and including BMW have better transmissions Lexus has a better chassis and Audi has Quattro. If infiniti wants to steal sales from these guys the only place really to do it is on price.
Rule #1, you never put $$ down on a lease. LOL! It's like putting down $$ on a rented apartment. Only put down $$ if you are buying.

Incorrect. A brand new Q60 AWD base model is $43,605 MSRP including destination. There are more deals on the Infiniti since it's the outgoing model, so it might be cheaper than a loaded GT. Other things to consider...The Infiniti has a longer bumper to bumper warranty, 4yr 60k vs only 3yr 36k. Long term, I wouldn't want a American car past 7yrs. My friends with Ford of around 2010 starting to have all kinds of repairs... no thanks.

The more horsepower of the Mustang is useless when it rains or snows. Enjoy fishtailing and lack of traction. It's not like the Q60 is slow or underpowered. It has decent performance. Big point.. I live in the north east. and I can drive the Q60 year round thanks to the ATTESA AWD. The last snow storm, saw 2 new Mustangs stuck.. I had no problem going right around.

Those rear drive only cars are Sit and Spins... esp if it rains/snows. Sometimes in the dry... I love my modified 2005 GTO, but it's not an all year drivable car.
A Q60 with AWD is !!

It does, that's why I picked the Q60 over the F-sport RC Coupe. Well, that and because there was no other 6mt option other than a BMW.
