Interesting how one review bashes the interior and the other gives it high praise
the blue one in that top gear review looks amazing.

Well so far the reviewers are pretty much saying what we already suspected.

Pros:

-Good powerful engine with little lag.
-Exterior styling(yeah I realized that most reviewers are acually liking it)

So So (Some like it some don't ):

- Interior styling(I am also not a fan of dual screen setup and patchiness of the interior)
- DAS

Cons:

-Price point,
-transmission (every reviewer stated how slow it is at low rpms)
-lack of trunk space, headroom in the back.


And even some who like the car very much stated that they can not justify spending 60K+ for it since there are really good sports cars close to that price...

All three dont recommend DAS. think about that Nissan next time you substitute tranny work and proper weight management for trying to get the first autonomous car. Next time someone mentions DAS at headquarters give him a couple weeks paid vacation. No, just give him a couple weeks without pay.

actually make him write a 5 paragraph essay on why he thought that ignoring tranny and weight issues was a good idea while chasing after radical autonomous driving which has not caught on yet and nor is popular, and is NOT even being considered by customers in the market yet. Play with it in your concepts, keep the production line up to date with already established technologies.

Most of them like the design, autoblog thought the Q60 did not feel like the car had 400HP. They say the acceleration is "uninspired." They blame either the weight or the 7AT for this, but the Kelley reviewers made a real low blow at the end saying the design is great & attractive, but its what the coupe offers behind that aesthetic that is more important. basically the Q60 has the aesthetic but behind the wheel not so much the sport coupe they were wanting. Probably because he was driving the optional direct adaptive steering (DAS) unit.
