Ah ok, couldn't tell much of a difference online but sounds like its similar in person. Thanks for the info.

Yeah like Viper said, its the metallic. This is the Carbon fiber package with Raliant Grill Emblem,, midnight grille and optional wheels. 19s unfortunately. Note, Rallient Grill is only on Drive Assist and Tech based in Pics so far.

Interesting. There is no mention of a carbon fiber grill trim and even the description in that pic fails to mention it, but it's clearly black possibly CF. Also those wheels aren't available on the RS so maybe that's just the regular Sport.

That's not a CF grill, just the midnight grill option (a picture of which was posted earlier) but yeah curious that it was not mentioned.

MyQForum - The Infiniti Q and QX Model Resource Is intended to be the go to site for the Q50, Q60 and others for IB forums.

We are quirking to make it a sub-forum of myg37. There is little traffic there now but it should pick up as Q60 enthusiasts start purchasing - especially the RS 400

I think if you have an account here you have an account there- or that is in the works.

Curious if anyone's seen the q60 on a lift and possibly its suspension setup? Curious if it's the same as the current model.

Hmm....I'm plotting. Perhaps, if the linkage hasn't changed in the rear (other than the mid link), and they've just gone to a true type, I can move my Aragostas over to the Q60 and just get a lock/spring perch for my rear dampers.

FWIW ... Pulled next to a guy in a 3.0t Q50S at a red light tonight. Got his attention and asked him how he liked the car. He said he loved it but I was guessing it's his first Infiniti but then he said it replaced his M35. I asked him how the performance was and he said he was very pleased with it. The spoiler looked nice.

Interesting. The Ford Fusion Sport will have a twin turbo 2.7L rated at 325hp and 375ft.lbs. That's 25 more hp and 80ft.lbs more torque than the "standard" 3.0L Q60. Hell, it even out torques the RS.
2017 Ford Fusion Sport First Drive ? Review ? Car and Driver

Not that they're direct competitors...a stoplight drag race might be embarrassing though especially if the kids in the back of the Fusion start making funny faces at you. Infiniti should be pumping out at least 275hp out of the 4 and at least 350 out of the the non-RS. The RS would be just right at 450.

Ape Factory- yep.
And why would marketing have a "halo" car turn 13.0 when 12.999 is so close. They must have bigger plans for the 3.0 and RS.
-Maybe I'll add the Fusion to my list too, for the money, I think I could buy a pair. :-)
