the Q line really went downhill, the spirit of the G when it first came out is gone. Did nissan lost their supplier on the 6mt? |  |

So Realistically infiniti won't be hurt at all by this move.
Sucks for people like us that appreciate manuals, but we are a minority, so Infiniti really couldn't care less. | I agreed with meme405. It's sad to say that manual is a declining breed. For example, Infiniti is introducing their new base line crossover QX30, which has a DCT.

Out of the loop: When did/why is Infiniti having a partnership to share platforms?

Q70 is a lot of vehicle for me. I would prefer the Q50.
