What's cookin', good lookin'?

Looks can only get you so far. The 2020 Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400 is the car version of that adage: Its stunningly gorgeous exterior is writing checks its performance and technology just can't cash.

LikeStandout styling that turns headsLots of power from the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engineNicely appointed cabin
Don't LikeOne of the worst automatic transmissions we've ever testedOutdated infotainment technologyNot a lot of headroomSuper-small trunk
The Infiniti Q60 is a four-seat sport coupe available with either rear- or all-wheel drive. All trims (Pure, Luxe and Red Sport 400) get a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 engine, judi bola but the lower trims push out just 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. They're respectable numbers for sure, but my Red Sport 400 tester packs all-wheel drive and -- you guessed it -- 400 hp, plus 350 lb-ft.It's a few years old now, but the Q60 is still a looker. Curvy and sculptural, it turns heads wherever it goes. LED headlights give the Q60 a distinct light signature and I love the unique kink in the C-pillar. My Red Sport 400 gets 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels that are tucked up next to the fenders, making for a tight silhouette. I think it's one of the best-looking cars on the road today.
My first hint that the Q60 might not be more than a pretty face comes during my commute home from downtown San Francisco. I'm just toddling along in the Standard drive mode at a middling pace of 25 to 45 mph. For whatever reason, this seven-speed automatic transmission just can't handle it, constantly upshifting and downshifting like an undecided child confronted with 31 different ice cream flavors. Things get better on back roads, but only marginally so. Here, I switch between the Sport and Sport Plus modes for better handling and a more aggressive shift pattern. The handling part is great, but it's completely overshadowed by unpredictable transmission mapping. Sometimes the Q60 downshifts on braking, but other times it waits until my right foot asks for the power. The transmission often upshifts at the wrong moment, especially when I'm just biding my time to get around a turn -- I can't be on the gas all the time, Infiniti. Sometimes I need a little patience through a turn, but all this upshifting is just trying my patience.

Thankfully, the Red Sport 400 has paddle shifters so you can move through the gears on your own terms. While the transmission still doesn't shift as quickly as I would like when using the paddles, this is far more engaging. There's plenty of robust engine noise coming into the cabin, as well -- enough that I turn down the radio and just revel in the racket.
The steer-by-wire Direct Adaptive Steering system is absent from my tester, for which I am grateful. I've experienced DAS on other models and it leaves me feeling disconnected from both the car and the road. The regular electric power steering setup is nothing to write home about, either, but there's a nice heft to it, and it offers a bit more feedback than the fancy-pants stuff.
Standard driver-assistance features on the Red Sport 400 are a bit light, consisting of forward collision warning, emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring and backup-collision intervention. More advanced features, including full-speed adaptive cruise control, blind-spot intervention and lane-keeping assist, are part of the $2,850 ProAssist Package, which unfortunately includes the aforementioned steer-by-wire "upgrade."
