    Infiniti Q60 Coupe Arriving in 2016

    Infiniti's new naming nomenclature has the G sedan turning into the Q50 and the G Coupe/Convertible into the Q60. While we've seen the production version of the new Q50, we didn't know when we'll see the Q60. In a interview with CarAdvice.com.au, Infiniti's global boss, Johan de Nysschen said a production version of the Q60 will arrive in 2015/2016.

    “I think the coupe is an important part of the platform. Most certainly we are working right now on a coupe derivative of the car [Q50] … known at the Q60."

    So why the long wait for the coupe?

    “But, you know, there are a lot of priorities for us. I really want to look at expansion of the entire portfolio. So we probably need to prioritize a little bit the volume segments. So the coupe we can probably expect two and a half to three years down the road,” de Nysschen said.

    de Nysschen also hinted at a high performance version of the Q50/Q60, saying "someday in the future we will be able to offer more high performance versions [of Q50] than we have today... the dynamic capabilities of this platform are very significant. It can handle far higher power than the engines we are using at launch."

    I don't like the A4-A5, 328i-428i, Q50-Q60 naming schemes. It is confusing and sort of pointless. Mercedes has got it nailed down, the C-class in sedan and coupe form, E-class in sedan and coupe, etc. It makes sense. It looks like Cadillac will continue on with ATS coupe and sedan and CTS coupe and sedan. Cadillac and Mercedes have it right, Infiniti seems like a mess right now, but I suppose they have a 20 year plan.

    Bah- all the alphanumerics basically suck, but at least once it's ingrained, people know what you're talking about. A mid-stream change for change's sake is just confusing.

    Plus... the infiniti q45 was a flop, and audi already HAS a Q5 and Q7!

    Q5 <> Q50... is there REALLY such a low-tide of imagination/creativity in autodom?

    • Keeping this non-political, but still educational on the topic of alternative types of voting.     The basic idea is that no one can get elected without 50% + 1 of the vote. We would no longer have elected officials who win with 43% of the vote.  People who don't get their first choice have their votes moved to their second choice candidate.   That way, people can now safely vote for third-parties without fear of having their vote thrown away and helping elect someone they dislike.   For example, people who voted for Jill Stein may have selected Hillary Clinton as their second choice back in 2016 and that would have produced a very different 10 years for all of us. You don't have to vote for every candidate on the ballot. If there's only 3 candidate you like out of 5, you can vote for just your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd pick, leaving the others off.  In the NYC Mayors race, there was an active campaign by supporters of the progressive side to encourage people to not even rank one of the competition. It worked.  Most people picked the two progressive candidates, and their combined vote was well over 50% (56% from memory), making Zorhan Mamdani the winner of the primary.  The two candidates actively campaigned together and said, "Hey, pick both of us and rank which one of us you'd like first". The runner up is highly likely to end up serving under a Mayor Mamdani after the general election making the voters for both candidates happy. 
    • Or stamp out sheet metal from the older cars and just mount on a modern EV chassis.   
    • Bummer about empty stores, but as the news covered today, we have freight companies closing down, restaurant's closing down, so many things being affected due to poor leadership that America is going to be hurting big time by Xmas. In regards to that AWESOME Lincoln Continental Mark II above, yes I will probably have the usual everything must be EV comments, but Yes, that car would be lovely as an EV. the Style / Flow of the body lines just supports air slipping over and around the car. Take that body, modernize it with LED lighting, electric powertrain and have a HUGE Frunk / Trunk with ton's of room and a great road trip car to enjoy the drives in. Honestly, some of America's best styles are from the past that can be used to give Modern to future EVs with Style!!!
    • On the automotive side, this is absolutely gorgeous.    Not sure why it isn't showing the car...   More economic bad news. Lots of stores empty that are normally full here in central Ohio, restaurants also. We will see where all this goes...  
    • Can the guy be any more of a MORON!!! Need to tell him he is out of step and needs to ASSIMILATE as part of Canada!!!  Ehhhh
