The car has a rwd bias. Meaning, if like the g35 or g37, the awd is only engaged at low speeds when a loss of traction is experienced. So it will feel rwd 99% of the time. Water intercoolers also reduce lag as well. There's far less volume for those turbos to fill to build pressure, plus there's less pressure drop across the core vs an air to air setup.

I'm so happy they replaced the VQ. It's about damn time. Before you fanboys react, the VQ's a great engine but it's time Nissan/Infiniti stepped up their game.

Sure!

I'm a faithful owner of a g37s convertible. I've put 100k hard miles on the car. It's been very reliable. I'm a little bummed that the transmission wasn't revamped. I've waited a long time for this car.

One thing infiniti has over BMW is throttle response. Germans likes to put in artificial lag in the drive by wire system, I guess to increase perceived smoothness. Infiniti gives you direct response from the engine.

So many haters for no reason. Most of them seem to be European car owners. I traded in my '09 G37 for a screaming deal on a 2016 CPO Q50 RS 400 a little over a month ago. It's a blast to drive. I chose to extend the bumper-to-bumper to 100K/6 years from my purchase date for $1.2K just in case the new technology has any issues late in my ownership. My G37 had 86K on it and never needed even one repair, just fluids' maintenance and one change of brake pads (of course, it didn't have as much electronic tech). I have friends who own bimmers and I know that is not the case with them. As far as looks go, it's a matter of personal preference. I think it's gorgeous. I considered and test drove a 435i and it didn't outperform the RS 400. Also, the cabin felt too confined for me to live with, as did 335i. The 535i styling is just too stale already. There were no 635i's or 640i's that I liked within my budget. M3's and M4's are in a completely different budget range and Audis are definitely not for me. Personal preference.

This car is AWD, not RWD, it said it on the back of the car. Is that wrong?

I agree the silver optic fiber is terrible but I'm forced to get it on the 400. I may have it ripped out in favor of the dark walnut.

The gauge cluster and the infotainment screen look like they're out of a 25K volkswagen, very low definition and crappy graphics, and the big blob of squared plastic on the centre dash looks straight out of a pickup truck.

to be fair, cars like the Genesis sedan have over 400hp, better interiors, more features and cost less. You can get cars with 700hp at this price point so it's not really a bargain or a lot of power these days.

All of Infiniti's vents have 'functional aero', even the gaudy ones that I despise on my QX70. You are not reviewing a Kia.

the wheels legit look like the new STI rims

what do you mean ," why would you ever choose to drive in snow?" Not everyone gets to live in a region of the country that rarely if ever sees snow. so no, they don't get to choose

around the corner there is a Q60 2.0t awd same color as that w/4dr's

Easy to boost to over 500HP with MODS, Youll be eating corvettes with this car

Infiniti needs to urgently revamp the top screen UI. Looks super cheap!!! And makes it easy to see the difference against a real premium brand like BMW or Audi.

The 370z /g37 hasn't used been is since the previous gen 350z/g35

My big dislike is the grill; the samurai sword is gone and replaced with one that looks like the Lexis. Also who wants to see cup holders?

Since when were infinitis not good... I owned 5 different ones and they were all great.

The steering wheel is just a modified version the M sport wheel

Inside was not up to the mark for a $60,000 car... was disappointed. Also no front USB ports and some of the switchgear appeared pretty cheap looking. Also, the main screen is a bit dim and that was echoed by other reviewers as well. Expect better at this price point.

You can't hear the motor running--and it's13 years old. How will these newer car 400hp with the 7, 8, and 9 speed trans. and twin turbos compare in 13 years?....they will not--The 03 BMW remains like new-as long as you continue to fix it..Don't get me wrong I think the newer BMW's will not stand the test of time either.

2-3 sec to change a speed and they call it sports car..

it is impressive it looks gr8 like the 350 engine cars so they have a smaller v6 cylinder but a twin turbo which makes it have more HP then the older engines take out the twin turbo it wouldn't be as fast they use carbon but there is lighter material to make car lighter damn Auto drive like new European cars

Not gonna speak to the euro market as I have no idea what the pricing is over there. I was talking in terms of the vehicles prices in the USA. To use Audi as an example, the Q60S is definitely competing with the S5 not the A5. In the US, the S5 starts at $54k and with most options ticked it still comes in under $60k. The S5 is a much better car IMO compared to the Q60S in terms of the whole package. If you want to compare with BMW, the M2 (which is the best bang for your buck currently in BMW's line-up) starts at $52k and fully optioned out at $58k. Now with these prices that I listed, you tell me which one you would pick.
