Well now we know what the s5 will weigh. I'm hoping this time around the coupe is lighter than the Q50 but I'm not holding my breath.

since q60 is designed after q50 this time , maybe just maybe it is lighter.

But it will probably be heavier ...

I went to the autoshow yesterday to check out the q60. I didn't take any pic's because I have a Moto E and the camera is awful. I would have been better off sketching the car. Plus I don't think I could have photographed anything you guys have not already seen.

All I can do is confirm what most of us know. Infiniti's don't photograph well.

The car does not look like either of these pic's in the flesh.





It does not have a triangular shape in anyway. There are also no drastic proportions between the front and back like the photos illustrate. It is a rectangular shape with similar proportions throughout. The back is a flat square design; not curvy as it looks in some pic's. The back lights don't protrude from the car. They are flat. The spoiler/wing on the trunk is far more suttle than it looks in the recent spy shot.

It actually looked descent in red. The version I saw had the gunmetal grill. It's also a big coupe. Not Bentley big, but I would not be surprised if it were a similar length as the sedan. Despite this, I'm not sure the back is comfortable for three grown adults but I didn't test it and no one sat in the back. Regardless, I was happy with what I saw. It does not look like an Accord, Chrysler, Audi or a Hyundai IMO. The only angle I'm not totally sold on is standing directly in front of it. Something is off there.

There are hundreds of pic's on the web of this car, but most don't quite capture how it looks. This is one of the few that does. If you're okay with this pic, then you will like it.

I was at the NY Auto Show on Saturday and snapped a few pictures so I'll post em though they aren't the best. I took them to share with you guys since I had pretty much seen all I needed to. I went there disliking the design and left with my mind unchanged. It's just not my cup of tea. It doesn't look like a sleek, sporty coupe like the G. Infiniti is definitely going in a different direction for it's styling and I hope it works out for them

All in all, I had the opposite reaction to the poster right above me. I think it does look like an Accord / Hyundai/ what-have-you. The interior was nice. The seats were plush and comfortable and I liked the center console design.

I think it looks nice. I just don't like the lower rear valence reflectors and black inserts. Those just don't look good at all.

Off topic, when the hell is the QX30 supposed to go on sale? I thought sales were supposed to start in January... they sure are slow-rolling that one.

It does look pretty big. It appears to be a similar size of the Mustang.

The G37 is about the largest Coupe I would be comfortable with.

I liked the concept more, but the coupe looks amazing (minus the black fins on the rear bumper).

They have improved the interior from the q50, from a vid i see ambient door lighting, even cup holders light up... i like the steering wheel, the door trim style/speakers. However the missing quilted door trim/ seats are the biggest disappointment inside.

I am liking the car overall as well. The stupid rear bumper thing is just cheap looking. Other than that I like it but I really want to see it in person...sadly there are no more car shows here

Nice review, seems the red sport Q50 is getting pretty good reviews. More pumped for the Q60 red sport now!
