The output has been confirmed.

300HP @ 6400RPM / 295 Torque at 1600RPM

400HP @ 6400RPM / 350 Torque at 1600RPM

If you dont believe me, you will see in January I am telling you the truth

It's interesting that top of the line near 80k Benz has an Accord-like wheel gap where as new Q60 has almost no wheel gap. Also I would buy a German performance car when it can be owned outside of warranty period without mortgaging your house to pay for repairs.

Audi, BMW and MB all do "goodwill" no cost service repairs outside of warranty. Porsche is the only one that I know of that does so on a case by case basis which is why I'd never buy one. BMW is the best at taking care of you followed by MB and Audi when it comes to repairs outside of warranty.

That's a cool story bro. Too bad in the age of the internets it's very easy to find 10s of thousands of very pissed off German car owners who were denied "goodwill" repairs and charged 1000s of dollars for things that don't even ever occur on cars not made in Germany.

and i had a g35 and q50 sedan. both cars has been at the dealership for all sorts of issues.

The Q50 had problems after the problems. The G35 was more of a upkeep visit. Good thing I had the extended warranty. From leaking sparkplugs, cracking compression rod bushings, leaking rear sub frame, popping sunroof sounds, failing door lock mechanism, door seal cracking, etc.

Good thing it didn't burn oil. 6mt revup

point is, it takes money to play. Just be thankful we get loaners. people who buy BMWs aren't complaining as much about Maintenance as the G35 coupe drivers are about gas prices. lol

Can't wait for the 3.0T Q60 drivers posting if they can run 87 octane lol. "but cars nowadays are smarter, we can run cheap fuel all we want. we have anti knock sensors and the car will tune itself to run cheaper fuel" is the excuse I hear a lot.
German cars are replete with expensive electrical issues and various sensors that magically fail 6-7 times in a row. Gas tank caps that cause pressurization issues, ABS sensors, EGR, emissions. Have a buddy with a CLS and the thing is constantly in the shop for little things like the ECU petering out three times in a row.

The real magic is that people still keep the cars (and happily signup to buy another), despite the fact that they can't go 4 months without something failing. So, gotta hand it to the Germans for that piece, I guess.

At least when Infiniti has issues, it's usually a one and done kind of thing with few repeats of the same issue. The rear timing cover gasket comes to mind but that's been fixed with a properly engineered part so at least it won't repeat.

But yes, I am eagerly awaiting the 87 octane discussion, again. I think I'm easily amused because it's always hilarious to watch that train-wreck from the sidelines.

Good looking car inside and out, but i can't get past what MB (and BMW and Audi) did with the navi screen...basically just slapped a tablet on the dash. Ruins it for me.



Also, I'll never get a car that doesn't have touch screen controls again. I had an MB c class a few years ago that had a dial and my current Lexus IS350 has a little joy-stick to control radio, navi, etc. Both are super annoying to use.

Honestly, the C class interior and exterior design does nothing for me and doesnt even hold a candle to the beauty of the Q60.

Im good on that.

The Eau Rouge might live again. Apparently this place still hasn't heard that we will be using our own V6 and not a Benz one.

I agree. The C class coupe is nice, but something about the exterior and interior is off to me, prefer the Q60.

Personally dislike the C-Class interior. The air vents remind me of soda can bottoms. That NAV screen looks stupid, like someone mounted a tablet to the dash. Audi does the same stupid thing. It should look like it belongs there, not like an afterthought. And don't get me started on the touchpad. That thing looks like a flaccid d**k on the center console.

For MB the interior on that C Class looks cheap as ****. I hate the fixed screen ON the dash instead of in it. IDK...to each his own
