Actually it's not bad, I think I saw the car from a bad angle. Certain angles it looks good, others don't. The front bumper should be more aggressive. Not a homerun, not a strikeout either. I just think it's a good option in the 435i, RC 350 F Sport, S4, class. I like the side and back.

That is a pretty cool feature. I'm curious how different the shifters being on the wheel will feel, as I really like them being mounted on the column and stationary.

Sigh. It is a bit small but it looks really good.

This Q60 reveal makes me want to step up in jobs.

The ONLY possible car right now I can physically allow myself to get into would be an M4.

Theres just no way I will ever be satisfied with an automatic. Its tremendously depressing as I love everything about the new Q60 except the transmission.

Yeah that door stop technology is LONG overdue. It's incredibly annoying when you are getting in/out of the car and the door tries to slam shut on your left leg and crunch it. Kudos to whoever came up with that and hard to believe it took that long to rectify.

Paddle shifters on the steering wheel is also a nice, and equally long overdue upgrade.

InfinitiFreak

Do you find the shifters on the wheel are better than the column? My G was the first car with paddle shifters. I'm sure it will throw me off the first time I get mine.

I think on the steering wheel would be better. Have you tried to shift manually coming out of a hairpin turn or just having the wheel 90° off center either way? If it's tied to the steering wheel, that maneuver becomes a lot easier.

Not impressed so far - I'm sorry it lacks the minimalist purity of the original G35 coupe, and even the next-gen G37, for that matter. This new one looks heavy, bulky and convoluted, with stuff going on everywhere (what's up with Nissan styling lately anyway?). Still looking forward to seeing the actual car, though.

InfinitiFreak

The new placement will just take some getting use to. It probably will be better in long run as there have been some interesting moments when trying to come out of a corner and couldn't reach the shifter.

My favorite angle...great lines.

The rear bumper corner fins, the gigantic maw of a front-grille, and that silly hockey stick piece of chrome trim on the front fenders...

...other than that, it's OK. It certainly doesn't move me, though.

But I am looking forward to seeing this in person when it hits the showroom floor, just because. And I wouldn't mind test driving the 400hp model, transmission notwithstanding.

I don't think the exterior of the new Q60 coupe is that much better than a nicely modded G37. However, the interior and technology is a night and day difference...especially since they got rid of the cheap painted dash trim from the G37 that scratches if you breathe on it.

Looking at this picture, I don't see too much to complain about exterior wise? It's classy, sleek, muscular and refined. NOW, complaining about not having a 6MT option I get. Some won't care about the 6MT and others will use it as a line in the sand as the deal breaker. That's fair. But when looking at this shot, what's there really to complain about aside from a few minor things like the chrome vent by the front wheels and...?


I can't wait to see this car in black with the red interior and also see this car properly modified. I also hope this car will be the end of the "broken axle" stanced look.

I've been stuck in meetings all day. I see there's no MT (unreal), but is the AT a slushbox or are they offering DCT?

WillCo1

Ha, I know right?

I can't tell you how many times I've been hit by the door when it decided to close.

Pretty annoying when you're trying to look smooth while entering/exiting the car.

Now as far as the official new Q60 is concerned, I think it's okay. ANd as others have said, I don't want an auto transmission.

Kind of glad I don't love it because I would start to get depressed driving the G.

I'll wait till the new Z comes out before I get excited.
