Definitely! The new Q60 looks good in motion and sitting still and that's not an easy thing to do, lol. The extra wait was worth it and glad they didn't rush it out to stay on a certain cycle.

Two words ... Lucas Electric ... yeah, a Lotus is such a reliable alternative to an Infiniti. Cracks me up reading through all these posts, no MT so that sucks, I'm getting a BWM, a Mercedes, an Audi, a Jag, etc. I'll wave to you as you go by on top of a flatbed.

Have you ever own an Infiniti? I owned a G35 (bought new) for 6 years. Let's just say thank goodness I bought extended warranty.

I now own a 2015 Q60 (MT) and that slave died in 2800 miles.

And what makes you think this new car, with a brand new never tested engine is any more reliable than a turbo BMW? And now is has more tech slapped onto it. Imagine how many more problems it can have. (Q50 has as few). 2 recalls for the DAS, lost of steering in cold weather! Don't forget the intouch issues etc etc. Lane departure self steering crap making the car wobble. lol

Basically, all cars have issues. Add a turbo and a bunch of tech. You'll bound to have more.

Turbo with a non DCT tranny? If you think the problem with the GT-R DCT tranny were bad, imagine if Inifiti is using the CVT...

vbx, yes I have owned 3 Infiniti's.

My 2006 G35 Coupe 6MT was flawless. Literally not a single issue, only taken to the dealer for my free maintenance.

My 2012 G37 Sedan 6MT only went to the dealer for the slave cylinder at 11,000 miles. Aside from that, completely flawless.

My current 2014 6MT coupe has 25,000 miles on it and not a single issue ever. Only been to the dealer for scheduled maintenance.

Just because you had a terrible experience with the Q50, doesnt mean everyone experienced the same problems as you.

Nissan/Infiniti makes very solid cars. This new Q60 will be a very solid car, they took their sweet a.ss time with it.

I loath Camaros, but the new one is certainly fast. But that's what happens when you put a Corvette engine into it, and use a Cadillac ATS chassis. I feel that's a bit of a cheat, but I'm funny like that.

I had my 2009 nissan altima for 40k miles and no problems. I have a 2008 G37 with 108k miles and only changed the right catalytic converter at 65k miles. everything else has just been maintenance. all car makes and models will have some sort of problem but so far the reliability on my G has not let me down.

And my CSC blew out in my 2011 at 18,000 miles. This is nuts, now many people here on the forum have experienced this problem.

At least with a slushbox, you don't have to worry about an inevitable 6MT design flaw that Nissan doesn't seem interested in fixing. Thank goodness for the RJM Clutch Pedal Assembly.

Not sure how many people cross shop a Camaro with a Q60 and that Camaro is brand spanking new. I'm talking specifically about luxury coupes - so I maintain in the class they pretty much all weigh about the same with the ATS being the lightest but also the least roomy.

Torque us where its at. That area under the curve is where most everyone does their day to day driving 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear pulls are where this engine will shine through. I'm with you on this HP is over rated.

I can speak for myself, coming from a cars with 330hp -> 414hp ->400hp -> to current 333hp. I've been satisfied with the G37, it weighed less than my M3, S4 and X6 5.0 but it always felt more than fast enough. It was hands down the best driving tool(street only) for me. M3 needed to be rev'd too high for real street action. X6 well that was a tank and slow off the line but once it started going that 400lb/ft made it seem like it was flying. S4 feels significantly faster than the G but the HP is about the same (could be that the engine is under rated from Audi). Not sure what the S4 weighs but I'm positive its north of 3900lbs and if that's fast enough then 400hp is all that I need with 350lb/ft.

Well Duh.... yes I own a '08 coupe and '12 M37x, both cars have been wonderful. I even owned British (Sterling ... Honda motor/tranny with Austin Rover rest of car). Sure, all cars can have issues but I'll take my odds with Japanese over British & German. Don't get me wrong, I love the styling of the German cars and if buying with my heart instead of my head I would get one in a heart beat. I have lived through owning a car that has had constant issues, always running back to the dealer, the hassles, etc. So now I buy with my head and not my heart, unless I win the lottery tonight.

The new Camaro is fast, but the interior is very cramped, visibility from inside is better than the last model but still bad, and there is virtually no storage space inside.

Apples to oranges. If someone is shopping a Q60 or other luxury coupes, the Camaro would probably not be on their list of options.

I would buy a Mustang 10x over before a Camaro, and I just cant see myself driving a Mustang.

No one shopping for a luxury car is going to cross-shop a Q60 with a Camaro.

The car is just hideous lol

Indiana residents would surprise you then. It becomes a bang for the buck argument when they start rattling off stats they can garner for $42k (SS). By far and large, the stigma about domestic is not a prevalent one around these parts-- amenities come with a bowtie, that's still 'luxury' to them even if not see as that by the general public.

Mind you, I completely agree with your sentiments about it though and I've given up on trying to explain the differentiation to others.

So are you but you've been cross shopped before, right? LOL, just kidding man but I am one who has and would cross shop both cars (well ,not anymore since they don't offer manual in the q60) so yeah, not totally unfounded.

I love the new Mustang. It stops me in my tracks whenever I see it. And while it's not a luxury vehicle, it's come a long way and after I'm out of the QX50, it's going to be a real interesting time for me in choosing a new vehicle. The Mustang is definitely on the list. The GT350 is another one on the list, though a long shot simply because I'd want a winter vehicle as well, and financially, that's not happening right now.

I'm happy with my supercharged G, but the eye opening thing is that modern Camaros and Mustangs are right where my G is - but straight from the factory...with a warranty!

When I'm done with the G in a few years, I'm going to take a good hard look at the Camaros and Mustangs on the used market. Especially since this Q doesn't come with a manual. That's a deal breaker for me.
