Otherwise good job Infiniti.
You are wrong. I think the front looks great. Believe me.

Everyone has a different opinion of cars, no matter which manufacturer. That is why is is nice to have choices so that people can move on to something they do like. I personally love the new Q60 from every angle, but some won't and that is normal with any car.

But not this. This one is just gorgeous from every angle. Believe me. It is.

at first the design was just REALLY different for me, I wanted those iconic circular lights as well. But i was watching the designer's presentation on it and the inspiration for the design. They want to take the car into an artistic, futuristic, yet aggressive sporty direction. With accents on luxury.

the executive design director speaks at around 1:20

uhhhh i think they succeeded:

Lol. Oh gawd. I've owned the g37, created a lot of **** on these forums like bumpers and such. I have modded many cars including my 911 Turbo, GTR, etc. They all have flaws too but I can overlook them. People around the world aren't ****ing their pants after seeing this car and saying " holy fawk this is the perfect car I've ever seen" don't be a rookie dude.

This one is JUST perfect. I can't imagine how they can improve the design in any other way. The exterior of the car is beautiful and functional from every angle. I m not talking about the interior. Only exterior. It's very good. Believe me. This will make Infiniti great again.

Ok Donald Trump. You realize we all have eyes and our own sense of aesthetics, right? We have opinions too and they just might differ from yours. Believe me.

ANYWAY, I know some folks were interested in seeing the new turbocharged Audi engine and how it works. Man, it's going to be quite difficult to do anything more with this engine from a physical standpoint. Too much proprietary hardware. It's in German but the video shows how everything works and is put together. Worth a watch. I think the Infiniti will be far, far easier to mod. I know the new RS6 is going to use the same EA839 engine but with more than 450hp. It'll be interesting to see how they do that. Scroll towards the bottom of the page and you'll see the vid. Watch it full screen.

The red sport version will be a lot better than the Audi. it will be far more reliable and far better looking. It will be great. believe me.

People will have different opinions and that is fine. Any post that keep repeating the same thing over and over or demeaning someone else's opinion will be deleted from this point on. Thanks and please enjoy the forum like adults!

that is how almost every skyline is made by nissan. it looks normal, less sensational design, but with enough stout and elegance. If you look at this car's predecessors they look very normal as well.




When the R32 Skyline first came out, you could easily mistake it for any other car as well. Although performance wise it would be vastly different. The Q60 is a Skyline technically speaking, and these cars from what i have seen, have a design that is insidious, not too drastic, not too boring, just somewhere in between. you could easily mistake that R32 for a civic or accord back in the day, when it first released.

The R34 also has a similar normal, and not too drastic design point as well.
Yet sporty and elegant looking.



I think the Q60 is using the same formula. Sporty, elegant, aggressive looking, but yet not too drastic, with a hint of modesty as well.

These are estimates on RWD models, correct? How about AWD models? Add about 2k? 3k? I was thinking 54k for AWD Red base.

Also, since you seem to be in the know, it's been posted that the Premium package is included on all V6 coupes. Is this what they now call the "premium plus", which includes heated seats and steering wheel in the AWD models, or will this still be an option pack?

probably answered already, sorry for the trouble moderators, delete away if already in the thread somewhere lol, but is there a ride height difference between the base Q60 and the Red Sport Model.

No, that's AWD. The RS Q50 AWD is 49k, I figured 2k more for coupe.
