Depends how much security they put into the ECU to protect it from being tampered with. Tuners are finding it increasingly difficult to crack and flash late model ECU's. The first tunes will most likely be piggy back tunes, but even those are being harder to implement because some late model cars keep logs and can tell if something is altering it's performance. We shall see...
I can't blame car manufacturers though, you mess something up and remove your tune and they are left with fixing your car under warranty. I also can understand "our" insatiable need to go faster.

Me thinks some of you are looking too deep into words. So he says 'non-specialty', and you take from that there's this secret IPL (or whatever) with a gazillion horsepower waiting to be unleashed. For a likely $5k - $10k premium price. That will be in addition to the THREE versions which will be available. 
Not saying it won't happen, but I'll believe it when I see it.

"The Q50S comes in both rear- and all-wheel drive forms. Unfortunately the engine remains mated to a middling seven-speed automatic. Infiniti says this one’s been re-tuned, but I still find it sluggish and lazy, particularly on upshifts. It’s not even in the same universe as the ZF 8-speed auto or the dual clutch options on other luxury sedans out there."
Well that's it for me, I'm sadly out.

Man those tests reviews on the Q50S are kinda like "just ok" but mostly subjective. Infiniti needs to bring it hard with the Q60.
They really should have offered a DCT option. I bet there will be one in a couple years. That will tick off all the 2017 buyers

They definitely lost me as a buyer. I was hoping the new AT was on par with say a ZF and not the same old one. Well, that hope was crushed. New plan is to lease a German car for the next 3yrs and see where the Q60 is when that lease is up. I'm so pissed right now.
