Q60 Final Teaser - Revealed in Detroit
This dude also offers a pretty good review with a mediocre test drive in my opinion, toward the end. Also talks about different tech packs as well. He mentions the front fender gills as used for engine cooling, i think that is incorrect. The R35 GTR has the same design and on the Nissan site they say that these gills are used for brake cooling, allowing heat to escape.
For those of you that have sat in the new Q60, how's the head room compared to the G37? I'm 6'3" and I find I needed to have the sunroof cover open and my hair would still brush the roof slightly (and unfortunately, I don't have that much hair anymore).
I am 6'1", there was still about 4-5" or so to the roof from the lowest position, though I felt like the headroom was less than my G.

From what I've been able to find, the headroom in the new Q60 with moon roof is 37.4" and the old G37 is 39.4". This could be a show stopper for us tall people.
Ah...so it wasn't just my mind playing tricks. That being said, there was AT LEAST 3 inches to go, so may not still touch your hair. I guess also depends on your seating position/recline angle.
I believe that the G37 coupe is 37.7 with and 39.4 without the sunroof vs 37.4 with and 37.9 without for the Q60, though I could be mistaken. Seems there is not much difference with the sunroof, but a bigger difference without the sunroof.
Finally got to see the Q60 in person...it was the 3.0t...stickered for $52k. RS coming in November...salesman didn't know a price. Let me start off by saying that i hated the car from what i saw in pictures...i deleted the bookmark to this thread and completely wrote off the car. After seeing it in person, i can confirm that the chrome grill surround has to go, the chrome fender trim looks bad, and the black vents and red reflector are an eye sore.
That being said, everything else is great. This one was in Pure White...MUCH better/brighter than Moonlight White. The car is much sleaker and the lines are more aggressive than any pics have ever shown. Once you paint the red reflectors black, the rear valence won't look that bad...the rest of the rear end is fantastic and i love the integrated spoiler. I wish there was a way to just remove the chrome fender trim, but i guess painting it black will look ok. Interior is very nice, but felt narrower than my G37 coupe...maybe bc it wraps around the driver and passenger more than the G. Rear seats seem to be more spacious/deeper than the G. Trunk looks smaller than the G though.
Took it for a very quick test drive. Acceleration was better than my G with HFCs...no lag. Exhuast note is almost non-existant though from inside and out.
For those that haven't seen it in person, don't write it off just based on pictures...its a whole different animal in person. Can't wait to see the RS
