NAIAS 2016: 2017 Infiniti Q60 - The G37 is Finally Dead
After keeping the G37 Coupe on life support past its sell-by date, the Q60 two-door sport coupe is finally getting a complete overhaul for 2017.
Just one question: How many hundreds of horsepower do you want? 200? 300? 400?
The new Infiniti Q60 closely follows its Q50 sedan counterpart, with a grille that would make a beluga blush and headlights seemingly pulled from any other Infiniti.
Under the hood is a choice of two engines in three different tunes. If you’re strictly interested in the “show” and none of the “go,” you can equip your Q60 with the same 208 horsepower, 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that does duty in the Infiniti Q30 QX30. A 3-liter twin-turbocharged V-6, dubbed VR30, will too be offered, in tunes of 300 horsepower and 295 lbs-ft of torque or 400 horsepower and 350 lbs-ft of torque.
Keeping everything in check is Infiniti’s new Dynamic Digital Suspension and Direct Adaptive Steering.
The Infiniti Q60 sport coupe goes on sale later this year. No pricing was announced.

I'm a mark for the G37 coupe, and I think this looks like a natural evolution of the current car. Overall I think it's very attractive. Though I hate the awful kink and the fake fender vents.
I liked the idea of the trickle down old model method over the current car method. Kind of like Apple, this gens top model becomes next gens lower tier model. I mean, would you rather have had a G37 or a modernized G20 as an entry level car?
