But Infiniti knows that if they price a turbo Q60 in the 60k range of the M3 and C63 AMG, they wouldnt ever be able to compete. The only way Infiniti could ever comepete with BMW or MB is to be cheaper, so 50-55k range. Infiniti cannot produce a turbo Q60 for 50-55k. Especially since the Q60S runs 50k without turbo.

Even if Infiniti did turbo the IPL, I don't see many luxurious features on the car that would make up for the price. I feel the Q60 lacks a lot of technologies that Audis BMWs and Mercedes', that compete against the Q60, already had years ago. That also makes the price a little crazy. But it's not $60k base, it's $51k base.

Not necessarily, Infiniti has cars that are just as powerful, if not better, than the German cars its competing against. Back-up Collision Intervention and Predictive Forward Collision Warning are two amazing revolutionary features that no German, Korean or American company has. Another feature thats crazy awesome is the Direct Adaptive Steering system, I know a lot of people diss it but I think it's an amazing revolutionary feature! All three of those features introduced with the Q50, imagine what Infiniti has yet to reveal when they release the M successor.

OP, I'd take the third rendering for the coupe, not really digging the first one. It just looks like a 2 door q60, they should make it a little bit more different.
For all shouting their opinions about comparing Infiniti to BMW/MB and horsepower, yeah, sure BMW has slapped turbo on their engines but its not like they are making way more hp over our n/a VQ engines. For a little bit less of what they pay, we get an N/A engine which makes just a tad less hp(nothing a pair of CAI and a plenum spacer can't fix), but is reliable compared to theirs. I'd drive a G with 90K+ miles w/o a problem and nothing in my head to tell me otherwise. Now see a beamer with those miles, and you'd turn the other way, or run the other way w/o a warranty. As far as tech goes, every car maker has their own thing going on to attract buyers. Lane departure this, self-driving that, etc. Comparing makers in that sense is really not relevant.
Other than that, I believe the IPL line has disappointed many if not all of us, but at least now we know the Infiniti is trying. M-line(BMW) and AMG(MB) was not built in a day. They have been around for quiet some time.

Horsepower, more is better. Cylinders, not so much.
Anyway, horsepower is not the only attribute that contributes to the appeal of a motor. Nissan has built a number of highly-regarded inline-6 engines, which are intrinsically smooth, lightweight, and bulletproof.
The configuration is well-suited to both sporting- and luxury applications, and BMW has solved the packaging issues. No engine is better suited to performance mods than an inline-6. The only step up is a V-12.
