"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?

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

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.
