Yeah. 22 city/28 highway for the AWD is very low considering it only has 200hp. Doubling your horsepower only drops you down to 19 city/26 highway.

 

u guys refering to the economode where the engine turns on and off at idle? i freaking hate that feature talk about annoying lol

 

Yea I bet they didn't give us their good one. I know that BMW 428 x drive gets 22/33 and has more hp...

 

Yea but when you wanna be cheap it might be good lol

 

So with the new engine, when is a newer transmission due, 2017 Q50/ 2018 Q60?

 

This is the newer transmission, as the old one had to be reworked in order to handle the tq of the turbos.

 

why didn't they add more gears

 

yeah, should be a 23 speed.

 

Well Infiniti is working on an 11 speed automatic. I wouldn't be surprised if its out in 2018 model years.

 

Kind of odd that the 300hp version is not available to build on the website, as that one will most likely be the volume leader, followed by the 2.0.

 

Probably couldn't get both 300/400 out the door at the same time, so they're pushing the more expensive one

 

300 is late availability. That's what we were told.

 

Not surprised with the pricing but it's got me thinking...hmmm...keep the G Sedan as a daily and just get a clean pre-owned GT-R. A loaded coupe will be close to 60k and I think the value proposition is beginning slipping away as much as I hate to admit it.

If the coupe is more expensive than the sedan, I think the pre-owned market for GT-R's will be heating up. I wouldn't have a GT-R as my sole vehicle though. Definitely want a DD with that car.

 

keep in mind with gtr comes the premium maintenance if you wanna keep its value. any other infinti you can pretty much do it yourself and maintenance cost will be fairly low without hurting resale value. thats if you care about that stuff. then u got insurance to think about too. wats insurance like on a gtr anyone kno?

 

If this statement is true, prices for used GT-R's would get bumped up so you might as well ****** one before prices are announced. The real comparison is operating cost of each car, in which case the GT-R would probably lose miserably.
