One thing you can be sure of: when a Japanese auto maker releases a “concept” you can bet that the production version will be pretty close to it.

The Infiniti Q60 Concept is said to preview the next Q60 Coupe aka the car formerly known as the G37 Coupe. Further details will be revealed at this year’s Detroit Auto Show. A word to those who want a stick shift Infiniti coupe – you may want to act now. If the Q60 Coupe follows the lead of its sedan sibling, you won’t be able to row your own.

    Hard to get too excited about concept cars. I'm suspect that this car will maintain it's sports edge. The G35/7 was arguably one of the best BMW 3 series competitors, but it seems Infinity is moving away from that as is most cars in this class. Such a shame.

    Infiniti's take on "make our cars aggressive looking" is turning out so much better than Toyota/Lexus'.

      It's subjective, but I agree. I will give some credit to the original "Something Wicked This Way Comes" GS400 though, that one looked good and I thought was marketed well.

    Not a bad looker. But the interior will probably be Tokyo-by-night, it will have the bag-of-nails-in-a-blender V6, and no stick means no interest at all from me. I can't wait for the current fad of gigantic gaping maws to run its course. Maybe we can have actual windows you can see out of too while they are at it.

      I always understood that the coupe had a decent manual take rate, which is why it survived even after the 6MT sedan got nixed. I guess it's no longer decent enough. :(

    I'm curious what this would look like under less designed lighting conditions. This pic is so artfully shadowed and highlighted that I've no real feel for how the car looks.
