2014 Sedan
I don't know why anyone listens to G37Sam. It's not like he's an engineer for the brand and gets this sort of information straight from the horse's mouth long before the general public or anything. Oh, wait...
Except for the fact that his "source" is not anyone in any position to know anything at all about the subject (which is made abundantly clear from the horrible misinformation he gave him based on God knows what). And that we have people here who definitely are in a position to know the facts that said otherwise but he chose to be a bit cocky about it when everyone else knew better and tried to tell him. There's that.
But at the end of the day, everyone is wrong about something sometime. I guess it isn't a big deal because it's not like anyone really believed it or was misled by it but him. So...
But I eagerly await his scoop on the new Q60 coupe when it's about to debut.

The Q naming structure is going to be one step backwards in helping consumers identify cars especially the way consumers are already accustomed to some of the Infiniti brands as well as the way other manufacturers name their cars. Typically, luxury brands use the first letter/number to identify hierarchy between models, followed by numbers to identify engine size.
BMW has their 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 series naming that is easy to identify by its first number. it is then followed by 2 digits usually idenitfying the engine size
MB has a similar naming convention also identified by the first 1-2 letters also followed by digits to identify engine size. C, E, S, CL, CLK, etc.
Audi does it differently using the first letter to identify performance hierarchy such as A, S, RS then followed by a digit to identify hierarchy between models , A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, etc. Relatively easy to identify for those that follow audi models closely.
I don't understand why Infiniti would do this, I think that their current naming structure works well especially after the huge success of the G. Because of the existence of the Q and QX models along with the current naming structure simply doesn't make sense. There was no reason to change the naming structure so drastically which makes it utterly confusing.

BMW last 2 digits does not correlate to engine size anymore. 328 = 3 Series / 2.0 liter turbo engine. 335i = 3 series / 3.0 liter turbo
