in addition to the Eau Rouge, Infiniti is also adding a new entry-level Q50 that is launching first in Europe and China. It is powered by a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, petrol four-cylinder with 211 hp and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm) of torque and a seven-speed automatic. There is a chance the powerplant could also arrive in US models later as a less expensive, more economical option to the car's standard V6.

Q50 Eau Rouge: GT-R sedan?

The Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Is The GT-R Sedan We've Always Wanted

It's still a concept but any thoughts? I would imagine this would be enticing for anyone wanting to upgrade to a GT-R but wanted 4 doors.

Looks to me like they stole the body line of the ISF for it.

Wow, V6 TT. That is awesome, and it will not make Any Senses, if this one is cheaper than GT-R. Seriously, here we go.....250K First Japanese Mass Production vehicle

I love two of the first comments on that article:

"Is a Q50 what used to be an Infiniti "M"?

and

"I think the Q60 is what used to be the G37."

I feel like something's amiss with that press pic. Look how out of place the lower valence of the bumper looks in this screenshot of a video I saw today. It flows beautifully in Infiniti's pics though. Regardless, I'm really hoping this car stirs the waters up a bit. Infiniti needs to have some life pumped back into their lineup.

Who cares about dilution, you think its going to cannibalize GT-R sales?I'm not saying Nissan should put in the 560hp unit, something detuned would work well. Think ZR1 and CTS-V.

Infiniti isn't selling well you don't dump millions on a new LOW VOLUME engine. You work with what you have... theyre here to make money and I don't think putting in a gt-r engine will make the brand loose any of its integrity. If anything if will help bring in attention to a car line that seriously needs it.
