2015-2016 New Cards List For You (Part 19)
Infiniti Q60
Base Price $43,000-$63,000*
Body Type Coupe, convertible
Unchanged The racy new Q60 continuation of the Q50
sedan is delayed, so the Q60 coupe and convertible likely carry over unchanged.
A hybrid isn't available on the Q60, but Infiniti has offered a
higher-performance IPL version, in both body styles. The IPL model gets a
retuned suspension, tweaked exhaust, and 18 more hp than the standard cars'
325-330 hp.
Avoid The IPL convertible - if you're after maximum
performance, why not try the coupe?

Infiniti Q70
Base Price: $50,500-$65,000*
Body Type: Sedan
Minor The 2015 model year Q70 gains a long-wheelbase
L model that stretches the sedan 5.9 inches. All Q70s get new styling that
looks more like the Q50, including LED headlights, a revised double-arch
grille, and LED taillights. A 3.7L V-6 still serves as the base engine, with a
naturally aspirated 5.6L V-8 and V-6 hybrid drivetrain available.
Cool Fact The Q70’s 5.6L V-8 was considered for the
Eau Rouge super-sedan.

Jaguar F-Type/Coupe/R
Base Price $70,000-100,000
Body Type Coupe, convertible
Major While the convertible remains unchanged, the
addition of the coupe broadens the customer base and takes the fight directly
to Porsche 911 and Mercedes SLK, SL, and new GT. The top-step F-Type R turns
numbers on par with 911 Carrera S and Corvette Z51. With big brother XK going
away after the 2015 model year, the F-Type will be Jaguar’s halo car for the
near future.
Cool Fact Jaguar has a new bespoke department called
Special Operations.

Jaguar XF/XFR-S
Base Price $48,000-$100,000
Body Type Sedan
Unchanged XF is Jaguar’s deepest model line, with a
range that spans a 240-hp I-4 model all the way to the XFR-S with double the cylinders
and 550 hp. That limited-edition model signaled the peak of performance
development for Jaguar’s medium-sized sedan. Next in the lifecycle should be an
all-new version, but that won’t happen until XE, the BMW 3 Series competitor,
debuts. Until then, minor tweaks to XF will have to suffice.
Look For AWD on 3.0L V-6 models only.
