At least according to Automotive News:

Infiniti Q60 Coupe Reportedly Being Retired In 2023

Not that surprised honestly given that coupes are probably the fastest-shrinking segment and the Q60 itself is very long in the tooth. Wonder how this bodes for the Q50.

I agree. The Q60 hasn't been full redone since what? 2012? This thing is a dinosaur, red sport or not

the second gen (all new) came out in 2017. it's actually a great car, with a bad interior / infotainment system.

I thought that was a rebrand to the Q branding + a refresh?

Infiniti used to be so cool, and on par with the competition. But Nissan is in turmoil, the interiors and infotainment are meh, the forgettable Q naming system, Thanks for nothing Johan

That is a shame, I saw a pretty new one yesterday pulling out of a parking lot and admired it, it is a good looking car and has a available 400hp engine. If it had a nicer better integrated interior/dash design there would be little to complain about. It is a shame what has happened to Infiniti over the past 10 years or so, they seemed to really be on a roll with the G35, M45, FX for a couple years and then things got worse and worse in most areas.

What do you find objectionable with the 2017+ interior? Looks pretty decent to me.

A friend of mine picked up a 2018 Infiniti Q50 Luxe edition with only 30K on it for $25K in early 2020. The car was fully clean, no accidents, absolutely nothing wrong with it. I couldn't understand why it was cheap only being 2 years old with so few miles. He got bored of it and sold it already so I'm guessing that's why it sold so cheap

The dual screen infotainment is a nuisance to use. Audio, climate, nav etc..

iirc Acura at one point had a similarly disappointing system, but have since revised it.

All of Infiniti should be cancelled.

The original G35 coupe was a nice car, this Q60 has quirky styling and poor transmission plus the dated interior tech.

Infiniti's infotainment is stuck in stone age, and the couple is ugly.

I actually find the coupe to be attractive, but seemed to be the only thing going for it.

I think the elephant in the room is that the Infiniti brand is not aspirational enough to attain many coupe sales since these vehicles are somewhat aspirational. Similarly, at a higher price point, the BMW M8 hardly sells because it is also not aspirational enough for the BMW brand and overall package of the car to demand for its price. Why buy the somewhat anonymous BMW for 120k when you can get a Porsche 911, Mercedes GT, (maybe) Aston Martin Vantage, etc. Same logic applies to the Q60 at a lower price point. Infiniti cannot justify its selling price for the Q60, why not get an MB, BMW, Lexus for the same price with more brand equity?

Its probably a good plan to sell a bunch of CUV's and stay afloat, until they get their act together for another attempt at aspirational vehicles down the line.

One of the problems with Nissan/Infiniti is they are so fricken heavy. I was in a Nissan Maxima rental for almost a month, and it had a lot of power but was so heavy. I've done light to light friendly races with both the G35 and G37 and walked them easily from a dig in my 2010 IS350

He's not wrong, the Q60 is just a 2-door Q50, which came out in 2013. It's a dinosaur.

Always thought this car was a nice car. Test drove a coupe once, so cool. Loved the interior. I also thought the coupe was a far nicer looking styled coupe than what Lexus, MB, BMW, and Audi offered. Too bad it’s canceled
