Has this company lost its panache?
G37 sedan driver here. Love the car, and think it's great. But has this company lost it's way?
Nissan is very capable in performance as evidenced by GTR. It is also very tech able as it sells the most electric cars out of any company (leaf).
So why is the Q50 not better than it is? Where is the DCT? Correct me if I am wrong but the Q50 uses the same transmission from the G37. I'm in the market for another car, and have been waiting for pic related for a while but I'm not sure it will stack up with what is offered from Lexus, BMW, Benz, or Audi.
Is Acura even worse? wtf? They are using Macpherson suspension on their TLX, I think.
Is it poor management? poor marketing? Do they appeal too much to blacks?
I'd like to hear your opinions.

Infinit is miles better than what it was in the last10 years
the vq30 is going to be a powerhouse

VR30TT is the only thing keeping it alive. Expect a new transmission (not a DCT) in the next model year, maybe lifted from MB. The styling is great but you can see where they cut costs. Not having a LSD in the RWD sport model was stupid, especially with 400hp and 350tq. The dual screens are odd and the controls are all over the place. Materials could be better but its still hard to beat at that price point.
They really need to stop using the VQ in all of their vehicles, its just too old at this point.
But that engine is really really good.

How much is a fully specced out Q50S? almost 60? I would pick lexus RC F in instead convince me otherwise.
Not really considering benz or BMW because you get so little for the price.Will Audi/VW sweaten their deals because of their scandal?
I would really love Infiniti to come up with staggering competent products to beat the Germans. They can, but they don't.

praying to god the next z has this engine
will instapurchase
>>15385771
if the new engine doesn't spark the next Z line, then it'll just be confirmed that nissan is dead and nothing but a hand puppet for that french faggot
>>15385809
it basically has to... right
I can't imagine anything else they'd do with the next z
also that new q60 is a visual masterpiece
Am I the only one a little sad that they've decided to remove any sort of heritage to the GT-R/Skyline? That's what I liked the most about the G37, the tail lights
>>15385817
>it basically has to... right
it does but there is no word on it. people just basically infer that hey, theres this new engine that would work GREAT on a Z car, so we can logically conclude that a new Z is on its way!
But there is no word on it beyond that, no rumors, nothing. Its honestly depressing. Last thing we heard about the next Z was this abomination

Yup this was a huge key element for why I loved Infiniti. Because you can get a "legal" Skyline in a tuxedo
