Reviews Summary

Forget about Nissan’s claim that it builds a 4-door sports car. Especially in new 340i guise, the BMW 3 Series is the real deal, an actual sports car equipped with four doors, thrilling to drive under almost every circumstance, and roomy enough for you and three other people. But is a 3 Series a luxury car? That’s debatable.

Reviews Summary

What’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.
