" If there&amp;#039;s one thing that Infiniti really knows how to do, it&amp;#039;s how to make a damn good looking coupe. The G35 coupe was a lesson to all other manufacturers on how to successfully turn a mundane sedan into a sleek and attractive coupe. It made a boring sedan into a car that would actually make you stop and do a double take. I loved the G35. But the recent goings on at Infiniti, such as\u00A0the total abandonment of the Q50 Eau Rouge high-performance sedan, were a bit of a shot in the gut. This was about to be a brand with a performance flagship and then it was suddenly snuffed out and no more. Thankfully, there is still a flicker of performance as evidenced by\u00A0the gorgeous Q60 coupe.  Here we have a car that is definitely related to the Q50, but looks more upmarket, more lithe, more elegant. The Q60 resolves every quibble I&amp;#039;ve had with the Q50 and then some\u2014this is a seriously good looking car. There&amp;#039;s even a little raised bit at the end of the hood that looks like the sight on the end of a rifle. Insert your own joke about hunting down BMWs or Audis here, please.  The interior is almost directly out of the Q50, which means there are two large screens in the center stack and a lot of different textures. There is a smaller steering wheel (sporty!),\u00A0and the availability of carbon fiber trim.   Under the hood is the choice of two engines:\u00A0a 2.0-liter turbo-charged four and Infiniti&amp;#039;s brand-new 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, the same engines as the Q50. The 2.0 makes 208 horsepower and \u00A0258 lb-ft\u00A0of torque. The V6 makes 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft in its standard tune, and 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet in the highest output model. These engines are all linked to a seven-speed automatic gearbox, there is no mention of a manual yet, though the G coupe always had a manual.  Don&amp;#039;t take our manual away, Infiniti. Don&amp;#039;t. Please. Don&amp;#039;t. It&amp;#039;s also chock-full of tech. Models with the V6\u00A0have\u00A0the second generation of Infiniti&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;direct adaptive steering,&amp;quot; its digital steering system,\u00A0which the company says now provides more feel and\u00A0feedback.\u00A0Infiniti is also using something that it calls a &amp;quot;digital suspension,&amp;quot; which is a fancy name for adjustable suspension with different ride modes.  This is all controlled through a rather thorough drive mode selector that allows you to select six modes for the steering, from standard to Sport+. There&amp;#039;s also a mode called customize, which allows you to select a mode for the steering and then the response of the steering, it&amp;#039;s like the a-la-carte menu of adjustable steering response. It sounds so confusing that it might actually be a riot to play with.  Even though this isn&amp;#039;t a GT-R-powered mega-Infiniti performance rocket\u00A0and will almost certainly have a suspension tune that is more GT than road crusher, it&amp;#039;s a step towards finding that all-important identity for the brand. If Infiniti is going to become a tech-laden maker of comfortable touring cars, I can deal with that. I think we all can.  Now we&amp;#039;ll just have to see how it drives.
