I think you mean the next Q-something   ;)
So, why can't the Germans make electronics work in cars?

"the observed 11.7 L/100 km posting of this rip-snorting big-capacity V6 Coupe is just so “retro”."

So, apparently, was the foot on the loud pedal.

Cheers,
John M.

Well, with the combination of 6 cylinder power and AWD that number's not all that surprising. Our '11 328 Xdrive routinely shows 12+ around town.

Seems like all the reviews of this car are with the automatic - guess there are never any M6's around for testing?

Good review Peter, a man after my own heart. I find steering feel to be one of, if not the, most important aspects of handling. If a car has great steering feel, you get to enjoy that every second you're moving (well, forward at least). Great 10/10ths handling is nice, but doesn't do me a lot of good over the years I own a car.

Yes, agreed. It just seems that tey only test the coupes with AWD and Auto. I'm sure this is the typical Cadadian set-up.

Still like this car but not more that the A5 in this price range.

Agree that the interior could use an update.

Grey is not Infiniti's colour inside or out.

I like it just a little bit less because of the Q-factor.

True, but sad.  A review of an M6 model would be nice.  It would be even better if Infiniti offered AWD with the M6.  Maybe in the next gen Q50?

I still think it's a great interior and certainly wouldn't call it dated.  But I do agree that it's time for a change.  It's been virtually the same interior (sans a few minor changes) for 7 years on the Sedan and 6 years on the Coupe.

Well said, that's how I see it. There are lots of other nice new interiors out there...including Infiniti's own M cars...maybe a little trickle down.
