Everybody has heated and ventilated seats. The ones in my wife's new Lexus have an auto feature that automatically activates and adjusts the heat or cooling based on what the climate control for that seating position is set to. If you have the AC on full blast the cooled seats are on high, but only until the temperature stabilizes and then it automatically loweres itself. Same with the heat. Once the seat heats up it reduces the heat so your butt doesn't sweat until it's no longer needed and then it turns off.

If there is an accessory spoiler, my guess is it will be similar to the g37's. The larger G35 spoiler (03-05) fit the look of that car perfectly, IMO. But what did Infiniti do in 06? Minimized the size of it. It became kinda sorta integrated, as did the stock silver spoiler on the G37. And now the completely integrated spoiler on the Q60. I love that G35 spoiler, but that size would not have fit the look of the G37.
And to your point(s) about 0-60 times, people that are that concerned about 0-60 times on the Q60 should likely look at other cars instead. Nowadays, there are a LOT of cars as fast or faster than the Q60. A 4.5 sec. 0-60 for a 3700/3800 lb. car will put a smile on most owner's faces, I would think, as that turbo torque hits early!

That Mustang (prob loaded one) with heated/ventilated seats is prob almost the same price as base Q60.. No thanks... Good luck if you own it and the Ford hits about 7yrs old when everything starts to brake/fail... I've had Infinitis far more reliable.

Incorrect, G37 coupe came out new as a 2008. Still old.. but still looks nicer than the new BMW 2 door, IMHO. The BMW coupe looks too much like the sedan. The Infiniti styling still looks newish..

That reasoning sounds completely azz backward to me. A dealership has trained skilled technicians who diagnose cars for a living. They'd be far more likely to notice a problem than 99% of people walking around who buy used cars. Very few people would have a clue that anything is wrong with a car from a casual inspection and test drive. Lord knows that the multitudes of people who join this forum to ask "I just bought this G37 and X is wrong with it what do I do?" proves that. People have no clue how to detect what's wrong with a car. Dealerships do.

The 400 hp will be 60k when equipped properly. They have the option of selling it fully loaded or selling it as a base. If they do the latter then it could start mid 50's. I'll come back to this thread when pricing comes out, but to get a well equipped 400hp coupe it's going to cost you. The cost will be 60k+.

Dem b fighting words there my friend. You actually seriously have me wanting the drive one now.
I would be in a Q50 now if it wasn't for the douche bag sales guy who tried to get me to bite for a semi loaded Q50 for $549/month with 5k down lease. Mind you I've purchased brand new cars from them before so he knew I was serious. I just laughed and left.
Though Infiniti may offer more value but similar performance they can't do it for same or even similar money. Brand cache does play a role and there is a pecking order. Lexus, Audi and MB have significantly better interiors. All of the above and including BMW have better transmissions Lexus has a better chassis and Audi has Quattro. If infiniti wants to steal sales from these guys the only place really to do it is on price.

The more horsepower of the Mustang is useless when it rains or snows. Enjoy fishtailing and lack of traction. It's not like the Q60 is slow or underpowered. It has decent performance. Big point.. I live in the north east. and I can drive the Q60 year round thanks to the ATTESA AWD. The last snow storm, saw 2 new Mustangs stuck.. I had no problem going right around.
Those rear drive only cars are Sit and Spins... esp if it rains/snows. Sometimes in the dry... I love my modified 2005 GTO, but it's not an all year drivable car.
A Q60 with AWD is !!
