Never thought I'd be able to say this, but Audi came in 3rd in reliability in the latest JD Power study after Toyota and Lexus, so I'm not really keen on trading for a BMW. Also, the 4 Series interior just doesn't do it for me. Haven't seen the new C Class Coupe in the flesh yet, so I'll have to reserve judgement.

I've owned at least 8 Infinitis and all have been rock-solid, so I think the reason they have slipped in the surveys is because of the technology. In Dallas, Sewell owns both Lexus and Infiniti, and since I've bought both brands from them I get the same great service at either dealership. If this car is faster and handles better than the S5, and they get rid of some of the road noise, it will be a contender for me.

Agreed, why is it so far behind the release of the sedan? What has it been 3 years since the release of the Q50?

Johan, CEO at the time, didn't like the original design and ordered a redo. It was for the best and now the TT V6 will be available from launch.

Other than the duckface grille, I find this to be pretty damn sexy!

Also the talk of a 400hp V6 in this category is pretty compelling. Wonder if they will ever make a car to compete the RCF, M3, and C63.

I really hope this blows the door off the 340 and IS350. Will push Lexus to get better!

Damn !! That looks amazing. I am hoping they will give it some *****. We need some competition for the RCF and M4

Sloped and dumpy rear-end kills another nice design. Just stick on a fake spare tire for the spoiler and call it a Lincoln Mark VIII.

Overall a nice design for Infiniti, only nitpick I have is that it doesn't look like those vents on the back bumper are functional. Similar to the strakes on the RC 350's. Ugh

I also feel that Infiniti doesn't need to add the "INFINITI" text on the rears under the badge, would look a little cleaner without it.

It's about time Infiniti reestablished their coupe offering!

I hope they add a hard top vert to the iterations.

Between this car and the little SUV Infiniti should see calendar year 2016 sales jump a bunch.
