In a curious bit of reverse thinking to whatever Nissan is doing here... Jaguar is introducing a 6MT option to the two V6 versions of their 2016 F-Type.
But on their monsterously top-end Type-R V8, you will be getting an automatic with AWD. Period.
Riddle me that one, Batman.

Personally, the 2016 F-Type S 6MT is at the top of my list for next car... in 2020.
Here's hoping for huge depreciation.Although the as-of-yet unseen production version of the Q60 is on that list, too. That one I'd buy new. Either one, not for another five years.

Makes as good enough sense as anything I can figure.

It does to me. I've only 22K miles on my 2011 6MT, and average about 5000 miles per year. Given the low miles and a propensity for obsessive car-care, I think it's a great long-term plan. In all likelihood, the next car I get will be the car I'm still driving when I retire.
All this is assuming the Jaguar depreciates about 60% in a 4 to 5 year period. Which is likely, IMO, because it's MSRP is stupidly high already for what you get. It also assumes I'm still in a financial position to dump $40 to $50k on a car that is more toy than daily driver. In America, all it takes is one serious health problem (for any family member) to royally mess that up.

As soon as new GTR comes out, R35 will drop 20k at least, they are currently under unrealistic price bubble as 2009 that was 70ish new and under warranty sell for 60k today. I might pick one up if they sell in the 30-40k range or maybe just get a new Q60 if it's as good as they say.
I can see all the rich kids dumping their current GT_Rs for the new model.
But there will always be a huge demand for used models. Still will sell at a premium in my opinion.
I would go for it under 50k.

New article about Q60 from Car and Driver:
The Redeemer: 2017 Infiniti Q60 Dissected ? Feature ? Car and Driver
The Redeemer: 2017 Infiniti Q60 Dissected ? Feature ? Car and Driver
A seven-speed automatic (sorry, no manual) will send power to either the rear wheels or all of them with optional four-wheel drive, just as in the Q50 sedan.

The only thing "new" in that article is the 2.0 but that isnt new, but any one can make that assumption since they were putting it in the Q50. Share the platform with the Q50? All of the coupe have in the past, not hard to guess that.
Truth is, we are all in the shadows, even car and driver.

Ill take that with a grain of salt. . No manual? I find that hard to believe since this vehicle will share platforms with the Z again and im betting that will come with a 3 pedal option.

If they split the Z from that platform, then its a new RWD platform all togther and since the IDX is dead in the water (for now) I dont think Nissan would make a new platform for one car.
Let us not forget that the Q50 is available in 6mt for the 2.2 diesel in UK, so the platform can support it. Lets hope this is all rumor and they get their heads out there (l)
