I absolutely loved both of my G35 coupes as well as my current G37x sedan. Once I put lowering springs and sway bars on the sedan it handled like a dream. But it was still shy of the precision of my 6 years older e92 with coilovers. I love the way this new Q60 looks but what scares me more than the crappy digital steering model they decided to use, is the outdated 7 speed auto transmission. This is the same trans in my '13 X sedan and I simply loath this thing compared to the 6AT in my e92 and even more so compared to the 8AT in all of the N55 models I've tested. I had the 6MT in my 1st G35 and swore I would never buy another manual with my commute. So the fact that this new car has digital steering AND this outdated transmission makes it a truly undesirable car for me. Hopefully, this model will get enough complaints and they will adopt the 8AT ZF or maybe even better, throw a DCT in the 400HP Red versions.
