Reviews SummaryWhat’s the recipe for taking on the German standards in the luxury sport coupe segment? Infiniti thinks it’s technology plus value and a bit of theatre, and it may be right. With a fully redesigned Q60, Infiniti doubles down on the promise it made way back when with the G35 and G37, adding a new GT-R-related twin-turbo V6, a retuned 7-speed transmission, and a fully drive-by-wire setup that promises to be better than you in every regard. But better doesn’t mean fun. After all, a dual-clutch automatic is faster and more efficient than a traditional, 3-pedal manual, but it’s nowhere near as engaging. Regardless, the Q60 doesn’t offer either. What it does offer is striking styling, impressive handling, and more tech than a closeout sale at Radio Shack. | |
Reviews SummaryThe car we’re discussing in this review is the Lexus RC F, a sports car based on a luxury coupe. The Lexus RC is so-named as an acronym for “Radical Coupe.” And while it may not be so revolutionary nearly 10 years after its introduction, that doesn’t mean it isn’t compelling. Verdict: The Lexus RC F is an oldie but a goodie. The Lexus RC F Track Edition, which we drove for this review, goes much further. It’s focused and purposeful, and for the buyer whose priorities align with its mission, it’s hard to fault. | |
