How sad. What's more sad, is there will be a sizable number of people here (the rims & slammed crowd) who will gladly give Nissan their money for a car with no real engineering progress. In fact, not just that, but a car with the same utterly useless 7AT...and no 6MT option.
I really enjoy our '09 G (despite the crap 7AT) but as it stands now, we won't be replacing it with ANY Nissan products.

For the price, the engine is fantastic, the styling inside and out has been upgraded and is ahead of the curve in its class.
MB, Lexus, BMW, Audi have either have done a face lift or body style change in 2013-14 model year with no change to engine (328i/528i did get a i4 turbo change from an the 6, 335i/535i remains same)

Even 5.2 is pushing it.

I got that. MT number is always the fastest most of the time, and performance testing number away varies due to many factors. But just for comparison sake, the .2 sec difference was the source of people disappointment.

When the car came to market, all the rags were getting extremely low (and a few sub-five) runs to 60. That was with the slightly faster 7AT, not the 6MT. But by your logic, you then have to discount the numbers for the new car. Either way, Nissan has made a new "performance" car that is slower than its predecessor.

What did you expect it to be? The .2 seconds means diddly squat. I'd like you to take your G to the track and abuse it three times in a row to get the lowest 0 to 60 you can possibly can. The target market for the Q50 isn't the boy racer market and these people don't give a hoot about 0-60.
And window dressing is important....it's the most important thing about a vehicle; ask Hyundai/Kia. The way Infiniti dressed up the Q50 has me very interested in the car.

Speaking for myself, and no one else, it doesn't matter whether the new car is .2 slower. It matters that it's not demonstrably faster.

So to me the car is not slower. As I said I like the Q50...it's plenty fast for me.

That .2 seconds means "diddly squat"? Seriously? It sure means a great deal to those of us who price performance over looks. But like I said, a fair majority of the posters here are more into the rims, stance, and plasti-dip thing. And don't get me wrong, I like a nice-looking car. But not one which trades progress for window-dressing. There will always be a divide between those of us who prize substance over style, and the reverse.

More tailored to the non-enthusiast buyer, you mean. The female buyer may be more predisposed to prioritize comfort & gadgets over performance than a male driver, but that doesn't mean the Q50 is intended for a female audience.
