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?

If you take the entire production run of the G37 Coupe (including AWD, RWD). From 2008-2015 less than 5% of the cars were manual.
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.

i think the QX30 has dct only because the transmission is shared with the mercedes GLA...

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.
