Speculation of the Q60 being offered with 4 different engine options

3.0L V6 N/A
3.5L V6 Hybrid
3.0TT V6 from Mercedes
4.7TT V8 from Mercedes

Infiniti Q60 production version due next year with two Mercedes engines

Id take it with a grain of salt....

I would too, I could see a 2.0T 4 cyl from MB and a 3.0TT. This adds more fuel to the fire that it will be a Nissan engine. Nissan heading to Le Mans with 1,250-hp GT-R LM Nismo [w/videos]

Maybe Infiniti was lying when they said it would have an all new GDI 3.0L TT built in house by Nissan and not an engine sourced elsewhere?

I will NEVER buy a first year production car ever again after my 07 bmw 335i. Im hoping there wont be a lot of first year problems especially with a new motor design in the q60. My 07 335 had more problems than all eight of my previous cars and i swore never to buy a car the first year it came out.

You're not kidding. I've been researching a new Escalade and whew! You should see the issues on that board- 4x4 systems randomly turning on/off, heavy vibrations/buffeting that can't be solved, plus the the many electrical gremlins.

evoix

exactly. My boss's lease was up and he went to get the new escalade. They wanted almost 1200 a month for it and the sales guy said no problems were reported. I googled that truck and in 5 mins at least 30 people called it a nightmare.

You have a boss who looks at cars as a monthly expenditure, and considers $1200 a reasonable expense for a tarted up domestic truck?

Yikes!

That genuinely made me laugh out loud. Well done.

Well you are talking Cadilac's and BMW's .... two brands that have problems in general to begin with. I had a first year Sienna van and my G37 is first year .... both were and are wonderful cars.

If his boss is anything like mine, he probably has at least that much of a car allowance and most companies lease company vehicles rather than purchase because there's a ton of reasons why its much better business-wise. We've got one truck in our fleet that has a monthly lease payment of $4,212.48. Depending on the business, many choose American brands over foreign. We don't have any foreign customers, so utilizing American products looks good for business to our client base. Clients and employees like being driven around in "tarted up domestic trucks".

Lol yea. He makes really really good money and has three kids and a dog plus a boat. SO he wanted the escalade. Ill ask him to check out the qx. He loves escalades for some reason lol

evoix

That makes sense. My boss just likes escalades lol. He works hard so that was his treat to himself along with having a big family i guess.

4k a month is crazy but makes sense on a business level and your customers are a good enough reason to do it.
