Even in 2020 models, they are still using the same slow 7 speed from the G37. And worst of all they completely killed the driving feel with the new drive-by-wire steering.
The drive-by-wire has to be the worst steering I've ever experienced. Seriously bad. My neighbor's wife had leased Infiniti G's since the 2003 model and had gotten into a Q50 after her 2nd G37 (which she loved) and was not happy. She wasn't a car person but liked power and tight handling and could not stand the steering, she said it was so bad she hit so many curbs when parking, she just could not tell what the steering was doing. She called her sales manager and they switched her back into a Q40 (which was a G37 with different badging), she decided to buy out the car and says it will be her last Infiniti. I have a feeling many passionate Infiniti owners feel the same way she does.
