Announced 300hp variation to come in at a hair under 40k.

Everyone is wondering about aftermarket support for the new 3.0TT, but I am estimating we won't see too much until they launch the new Z with the same power plant.

Regardless, there hasn't been any good or detailed media coverage of the q50 with the new engine

Great basic review! Planning on getting this once the new drivetrain is proven to be reliable. Too bad they decided not to fall through with the Eau Rouge edition Q50

I'm not a huge fan of electric steering. From reviews I've seen the car will actually steer against you in an attempt to keep it in line. it has a force-feedback steering wheel (yes like a xbox steering wheel) to give you the feeling of a real steering wheel. It's all an attempt to remove the steering column which makes it easier to configure vehicles for LHD and RHD, but I foresee issues. It would be a very nice DD but for spirited driving I prefer a manual car, with good ol' fashioned hydraulic rack n' pinion. I would enjoy a Q50 along side a built G35, but I dont think I would give up a G for a Q. All in all a very nice business car with attitude.
