Infiniti Will Reportedly Revive the Q50 Sedan with 400 HP V6 *And* a Manual Transmission

[Houston.RZ34]

I told y'all about that a while back.....Q50 will survive with "Heavy Refresh" that includes the Z's VR30 and the "new" 9 spd...... hoping the manual finds a way in there

Anybody see the new Q50 news today?

Nice, but two too many doors for my taste.

Nice, but two too many doors for my taste.

The Q50 has way more trunk space than my Q60 had, and the 4 doors should hold insurance down. I was just quoted $330/mo for insurance on a Z, because I have a driving age teenager at home (and probably because so many Z's are being wrecked).

What I'm curious about is if the Q50 will get an updated interior, the 9AT and if the 6MT can be had with AWD. My Q60 had AWD, and I really miss the AWD.

Although I prefer a coupe, I think a sedan with twin turbos and a stick is pretty cool too.

Problem will be pricing, it has been way too high for the FM platform for years now. The Q60 Red Sport was in the 60's most of it's production run. That's just too much money to be competitive in the market, especially on such an old chassis.
Depreciation is steep for Infiniti, I usually buy Nissan/Infiniti as lease returns.
The MSRP on my Titan was $65K, just too much money for anyone to consider Nissan/Infiniti as a new purchase.

Front end does not identify Nissan at all, looks more like a cross between Accord and Volvo.
