Agreed. I have been a fan for decades, and have owned my current G37 since 2010. Alas, I will not be upgrading to the newest generation. They killed the goose laying the golden eggs. Switching to Merc for my next vehicle. The C class is just miles past the Q60.
chocolatewheelchair Yeah but the C Class interior is much better. Or he could get a Genesis G70 since it also an incredible interior for a reasonable price with all of the performance you probably want & equally as luxurious as the C-Class & more than the G37. The Genesis would be more reliable to own long-term because they've been killing it with their products. They have the least number of problems reported at just 63 per 100 vehicles while Mercedes is much further down on that list in Initial Quality Study. Genesis was at the top spot & is the new least problematic luxury brand to own
I remember watching a Savagegeese review of this vehicle and when he got it up on the lift I was surprised by how carelessly the body adhesives were applied underneath the vehicle, and in addition to that wires that should have been covered weren't. 😔
This is hysterical; a brand trying to trade on its heritage when it basically has none that anybody cares about. Infiniti has been playing second fiddle to Lexus right from the very beginning; and things have only gotten worse since then. Infiniti sales are in the toilet, along with Nissan, I suppose this is some marketing person's idea to help. It will not work
I think once Nissan is refreshes these cars they'll be in a very good place. Infiniti has kind of been the horsepower pick. Shoot they were one of the first luxury hybrid options and they used the hybrid tech for more power and performance and gave efficiency the bird. I like this brand, the Q50 and Q60 are some of the best looking cars in their class (especially the 60). I'm looking forward to next generation.
Intriguing. Everyone thought Volvo was dead 5 years ago but now they somehow dug themselves out. 20 years ago everyone wanted Audi to just die, but out of nowhere, the R8 came out. While Nissan is slowly innovating with the new Sentra, AWD Altima, Maxima, and Skyline they are still a bit hampered by the CVT’s. Hopefully Infiniti May rise again to match Lexus, Acura, and Genesis. Maybe with the help of Mercedes Benz collaboration Infiniti will fly.
Dark days for Nissan and Infiniti. Here's hoping they return to their former glory... Pre-merger. Till then, cars like this should sell at a steep discount and even better as a 3 year old cpo.
Tom, Judging by some of the comments below, it sounds like you have inadvertently produced a sort of 'living funeral' for Infiniti . A gray car with a black interior on a rainy day may have contributed to this impression. ;)
Driven Car Reviews this is different. The dealerships might not make it long enough to see those new models that are coming out. The problem is that INFINITI now has a terrible reputation for reliability and “fun to drive” because of their CVT and drive by wire implementations. Volvo ALWAYS has had a reputation for car safety. That went a long way to keeping them afloat. INFINITI could make the best electric ⚡️ or hybrid car ever and a lot of people would still ignore the brand simply because they are known as the company that uses terrible CVT transmissions even though those CVTs are only in a couple of models now. Their reputation is what will kill them. Volvo’s reputation saved them.
Nissan/INFINITI sales are so bad they stopped reporting their sales each month. They only report sales every quarter now. INFINITI dealers probably won’t last till the end of the year when they might start seeing new models come in. Even if the brands are still around a year from now the dealerships that support the cars might not be. I wouldn’t buy an INFINITI car right now unless you just really like getting your car serviced at a Nissan dealership instead of the actual INFINITI dealerships.
I have we 2015. They've upgraded the upper screen. Much higher resolution than mine. I have the hybrid with the tech. Would upgrade in a minute but it was disoriented here. I don't think it got much attention. Smooth operation. Almost 350bhp with v8 torque along with 34mpg average with a heavy foot. I don't want to let it go
@@DrivenCarReviews very true. I remember the script of one such ad fixated on the beauty of the dashboard clock. At that very moment, I realized that this marque was not for me.
Still beautiful. Even more so now that the 4 series and its booty face has debuted. The Hashimoto kink in the c-pillar is far sexier than...well, whatever BMW has done with the Hofmeister kink. がんばれ インフィニティ
I owned a 2008 G37 and absolutely loved it. I chose it over both bmw and audis.the awesome 3.7 liter engine sounded awesome it was really good handling and it being rwd I would be lying if I told u I didn’t love sliding that thing around. It was a 370 Z with backseats if u ever needed them.A couple years later the switched all their car names and numbers and I knew that was gonna totally hurt the brand, still to this day I don’t know what any of the model names are plus I’m a fan of car names with numbers in them that indicate what size the engine is. Then they came out with that terrible 2 screen system for Nav and infotainment and it made it even worse. At that point it was no longer a good deal or even a competitor with the Germans. Lastly they took that awesome naturally aspirated 3.7 liter v6 making 330 bhp replaced it with a 3.0 liter with twin turbos. I woulda been ok with it if that brought the Bhp up to over 400 but some how it dropped to 300. It’s supposed to be a competitive sports coupe in one of the fastest shrinking markets in the USA and those 3 problems were the final nails in the great G37 that used to be. They have so much work to do to catch up not only to the Germans but honestly I think they even need to catch up to both Kia and Hyundai at this point and it really breaks my heart.
That car won’t come anywhere close to 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. The 300 hp version is more like 5.1 or 5.2 seconds. The Red Sport version is close to 4.5 seconds.
Soooo outdated. Infiniti was nearly axed by Ghosn..... I dont think there will be a Edition 35...... glad you had an AWD given the soggy weather conditions. Thanks for the upload, Tom. 👍
Infiniti is not going to see 40. Just poor quality and cheap everything. All much cost cutting. These use to be the called the reliable BMW before BMW went all SUV mad. Now they left every marketplace but North America. It's a shame a company that was so ahead of the time with vehicles like re G35 and FX45 now make junk. You can't even get a LSD on the 400hp redsport thing son you definitely won't get an led on the 300hp version.That interior is so dated. Bye Infiniti, you were once interesting
Great review as always Tom. Gotta say though, for a luxury brand that plays second fiddle to their Japanese counterparts, you think they could have put at least a few splashes of color in that interior. That sea of dreary dark gray is brutal.
I think it's a good looking GT. the price is the only thing that throws me for a smallish coupe. And does it have auto brake front and rear? I missed that.

That car won’t do 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Even the Red Sport might not do that. The 300 Horsepower version you are driving is closer to 5.0 seconds for 0-60 mph if not even more.
The bones are there, but Infiniti are just not cutting it. DAS sounds bad and here the regular handling is not good. Much prefer the Genesis G70 to any of the Japanese brands at the moment.
I'm glad new designs are coming. Infiniti is much like Acura. Resting and waiting for increased sales when they've given people no good reasons to come to look. I'm hoping the next Q60 is based on the soon to be seen new Z-car? Hopefully it will lose about 600lbs and gain a high revving V6?
Hey, Tom, did you have to support the stereotypical view that it rains constantly in the Puget Sound region? Actually, this winter does fit the stereotype. It's unusually wet. We typically get to see that big orange ball in the sky every week or so. This year has been the wettest in memory.
The manufacturer recommends that it run on premium grade gas at the very least to achieve the power rating. Most modern cars will adjust for lower octane fuel, some are finicky.
Good looking vehicle but I have not been a fan of Infiniti's latest interiors. Nissan and Infiniti are in trouble, their vehicles are very old and they are cost cutting dramatically right now. I will say Inifniti's are very good value after a couple of years, depreciation is huge.
That car will depreciate $20,000 as you drive it off the lot. Hope you like it because you will be driving it forever. Don’t buy INFINITI vehicles. Lease them if you must but you are much better off just going somewhere else.
Ok let me see. Numb steering, confusing infotainment controls, high lift over to a small opening into a small trunk. Big, long doors for parking in increasingly tighter parking spaces. Tiny back seat. Not sure there’s a spare but it would be a bitch getting one those flat tires into the trunk or back seat. And $52K as tested. Looks nice tho.
.It's 4am Tom and I'm watching your video (instead of going to bed) on a car and/or brand I'll never buy...an extra $4200 for Ed 30 pkg; well, there's your (Infinti's) problem...should have been $2500 tops...That center console is really showing its age.
I feel like Nissan / Infiniti is the current punching in the automotive industry because of its poor sales, poor quality and lose of direction. Maybe Nissan deserves it, either way, the styling on their Infiniti cars are great and have aged gracefully
The service advisor told me that the new ones are junk.. When the g37 left so did the company..And the suv with a jatco CVT.. By the end of 2020 Infiniti will pull out..The Q50 is junk..
Trunk not boot. You , the car, or the country this is being filmed is in the UK . Cool video as always that's just a little pet peeve. That and Zed not Zee unless it's British of course
I drove the Q, My G37 is better. More connected to the room. Steering feedback is excellent! A lot less electronic gimmicks;) I am keeping my G until the wheels fall off!

Sorry for the black hole at 4:45 but I'm on my way to Los Angels and Chicago and can't fix it. Please contact customer service for a full refund.
Unsub then... jk🤣. We love you Tom!
Did you forget about Lexus at the beginning?
Driven Car Reviews I consider it a 2nd moment of zen. Two for one.
Can I get that customer service number? 😉
Didn't know you were from MN. What city? I'm in the Minneapolis area myself.
Infiniti/Nissan are unfortunately in pretty deep trouble.
Good looking, but that infotainment setup is beyond old.
Paul M they updated it. Has CarPlay now.

Really stunning design. I look at these (luxury coupes) like affordable exotics, design wise. Great review of a rare car Tom. 👍

Don't be (too) modest Tom, your videos are EXCELLENT. Great video footage, honest reviews and the length = PERFECT.
Best reviewer on YT? Great looking car too. Nice it's not another Crossover.
The rainy shooting was superb, love rainy roadtrips! Congrats!
For some reason, I read this as a Genesis review, and I was interested. That interest lasted about about 34 seconds
Why was I expecting 400hp +
on the Edition 30
Nissan/INFINITI sales are so bad they stopped reporting their sales each month. They only report sales every quarter now. INFINITI dealers probably won’t last till the end of the year when they might start seeing new models come in.

Great Review Tom. Always great information.
I can't understand why you don't have atleast 500k subs your content is excellent!!

Superb work, in the rain no less!

Excellent review. Thanks
My fav is still my old g35 coupe
I got one too man, best purchase ever!!!

Good review as always, Tom. This car may not be a hit but thanks for explaining what the badge means.

The infotainment system is just embarrassing and hasn't changed in over a decade... also.. only 300hp from a twin-turbo 3.0? The 3.7 NA VQ had 330.
This is completely false it’s new for 2020
I have a 2014 Q503.7 no problems at all!!!
Infiniti should leave the same exterior design and just change the interior and performance to make it a masterpiece

I am more infuriated at Cadillac than I am at Infiniti, it was the premium American brand I wanted since the cts (2015)
How can a twin turbo V6 only make 300 HP? And less than 300 torque. I was expecting way more power than that. The Focus RS is 350HP from 4 cylinders.
Tom, do you even sleep? Why post at 4:30 am?

Soon to be a collectors item. The Infiniti brand won’t survive another 5 years.
I will be curious to see what is left of Nissan in 5 years.
INFINITI won’t last till the end of the year.

The statistics and my soggy rain jacket back that up.
Hi Tom, can you elaborate what do you mean by ‘specified premium fuel’? Does it mean that the premium fuel has to be ‘top tier’ gas ?
The manufacturer recommends that it run on premium grade gas at the very least to achieve the power rating. Most modern cars will adjust for lower octane fuel, some are finicky.
Top Tier is specified for direct injection engines. ‘Best to check owners manual to find out if they call for Top Tier gasoline.

Small backseats
beautiful car ruined by outdated infotainment
It’s a beautiful, capable car. It’s a shame their best model is in a moribund segment. As everyone knows, they’re in trouble, it’s too bad.
Not worth the money or wait. Out dated interior. Which is where spend most of your time.
The Jatco transmission in this car will probably fail prematurely, unfortunately.
In short. MEH.
30 years of meh

hows it horrible? ur actually crazy
Infiniti is dead.
An attractive car, but a little on the feminine side. For that money I would opt for a low mileage German car
