I really hope they are messing with us with "initial launch"
If there is no manual transmission, there is no more Infiniti for me.
Car looks great inside and out, but the deal is BROKEN if there is no MT.
SOFAKING DISSAPOINTED! WOW NISSAN ! YOU HAVE BECOME PVSSIES!

Sad day for me. The car looks great and everything but the apparent luck of a manual transmission makes it a non choice for me. Here is hoping that the new drivetrains they are planning to release later will include a manual.
I'll be at Global reveal: The all-new Infiniti Q50, Ustream.TV: Join us LIVE here on January 14 at 9:45am ET / 6:45am PT as we stream the unveiling of the Infiniti Q5... hoping they'll give a hint about the inclusion of a manual in the future

So for all those who are lamenting the unmitigated disaster of the Q50 
, the new BMW 4 series coupe has been released.
I mean, what can you say? It is so very different and much better design wise than anything on the road. Ditching angel eyes and going with LED strips isn't like Audi, it's original! Obviously the very busy grille with all the multiple bends in and angles are killer and not overdone - especially the tongue sticking out of the middle. I bet that thing creates downforce like a ****!. The body lines are so simple and fluid and cohesive, not throwing gentile curves together with harsh angles.. We all know that fender vents are awesome yo, so it has huge ones. And from the rear! Dat azz! The tail lights are completely unique and not like a Hyundai Sonata at all! Nope. The cutout/diffuser/grille/whatever that is in the back of the car is an amazing design cue. BMW knocked it out of the park as usual. I can see tens of thousands of car buyers flocking away form the abomination that is the Q50 for this new 4 Series coupe. Infiniti will be bankrupt withing 3 years now that this is available.

I like a manual too...even though I drive the 7sp. But honestly, most folks don't want a manual. I don't blame them for dropping it. Hell of our two cars in my home stable, one will be a Nissan Leaf in next 12-15 months. That car doesn't even have a transmission!

There's likely a BMW in my future. Pretty sure they will never abandon the MT.
IDK about that 4 series, though. I seriously laughed out loud at the lower front and rear bumpers. That's not forum-speak... I actually started laughing at the absurdity.
And not for nothing, but if fender scoops look silly on the Ford Focus, why would they look any better on a $60K BMW?

If Infiniti wasn't going to give us MT, then they should have given us at least a fun automatic like a DCT, but not even that...
It seems like they dropped the ball on the next-gen drivetrain development for the G, so they're giving us just new styling and electronics, while killing the poorly-selling 6MT. I think they would have sold more 6MT cars if they had a friendlier clutch.

I'm watching the reveal right now... there are 3 Cirque de Solie guys prancing around under purple lighting. Normally I don't say stuff like this... but man, that's was really gay. That's not necessarily an insult. It was just very gay, is all.
