Also, yeah this. If you're looking for a real sports car you should probably wait for the new Z. This car will always be more GT focused than the real enthusiasts want it to be. Maybe if an aggressive IPL version comes out that will be closer to what it seems a lot of people on this forum are clamoring for.

That is not an excuse for not having a proper transmission.

LOL, that is very true, however, I want to see what the stock exhaust will sound like first.

Agreed. The manual transmission pretentious comments and attitudes are really long in the tooth. Everyone gets it. This weekend I'm going to pick out a new horse for my buggy.

Horse & Buggy > Manual Transmission (simply due to being older and more classic, thus making it proper)

i hope it has a proper crank out front to start it, instead of this push button start nonsense.

also carbuerator > electronic fuel injection

The same people who are saying it isn't supposed to be a sportscar are the same people who think manual transmission diehards are pretentious (which is something they will never understand...........).

Yeah, if you don't turn your own key in the ignition, you likely don't really know how to drive.

Me , you have a problem with that ?


First manual option is removed. Second the old 7at is way behind the industry standard 8 speeds (ZF , the ones lexus use or the corvette/camaro's).

Why can't infiniti change all at once? I would be glad to pay an additional 1-2K for a better tranny.

If you go to around 5 minutes you hear the exhaust pretty well as they drive around the course. Tough to tell on vidoes but it sounds like a quieter GTR IMO. I'm thinking these engines will be an axelback away from sounding very nice. Hopefully the coupe is a little louder.
That car is too ugly.

Not sure why auto drivers gets all defensive when we ask or hope if there will be a manual option. Like it doesn't affect them since they can STILL choose an auto.

But for those of us who wants manual are out of luck.

I'm not critizing or getting all defensive regarding people who want a manual, what I'm saying is everyone is already pissing and moaning about how crappy the Auto will be (among other things with the car).

Who here has driven the new Q60 yet (or even seen it up close and personal)? ....... that's what I thought.
