New York 2014: 2015 Infiniti Q70 Revealed
Appearing alongside the 2015 Infiniti QX80 at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Q70 takes dead aim at the German performance and large sedan markets.
Though the Q70 takes its looks from the Q50, it won’t have the latter’s steer-by-wire system, nor Infiniti’s newest two-screen infotainment system. What it will have is a long-wheelbase variant dubbed the Q70L, which will boast 5.9 inches of rear-seat legroom and a choice of either the 3.7-liter V6 good for 330 horsepower or the 5.6-liter V8 pushing 416 horsepower; the standard model will have four more horsepower from the V8, as well as a hybrid option not available to the newer addition.
Safety systems for both models include lane-departure prevention, Predictive Forward Collision Warning, and Backup Collision Intervention.

Well at least it doesn't look as much like a bloated Maxima. The interior is still a bit of a mess though, and the fact that you can get the identical steering wheel in a Nissan Murano is a giant bag of fail.
Is the "wood with silver sparkles" available on every model now? And bravo to them for continuing with A) wood and B) real wood.
