Romeo, oh Romeo, pray tell us why two-door luxury sports coupes, like the swoopy, curvaceous 2017 Infiniti Q60 I?m driving, make our hearts soar, our hands go clammy and our heads fill with the overpowering urge to sign on the dotted line?
After all, coupes make no rational sense. They have two doors instead of four. Their back seats are best suited to that vertically-challenged Mini-Me fella from Austin Powers. And getting in and out of their low-slung cabins usually requires the contortionistic skills of a Russian gymnast.
Add to these negatives the fact that these days so many four-door sedans and luxury sport-utes actually look like stretched coupes, and the appeal of a low-slung two-door should be non-existent.
Yet feast your eyes on this newest creation from Infiniti. It?s roofline is like the cross-section of a jet wing. Its rear fenders bulge and swell like Stallone?s biceps in Rocky 43. And that little side window kink is just candy for the eyes.
This is a truly gorgeous car. Lithe, taut, muscular, it looks like it?s hitting its 155 mph electronically-limited top speed standing still. This is the reason we throw practicality to the wind and lust after two-door coupes.
Infiniti knows a thing or two about cool coupes. Remember the stunning G35 and G37 Coupes? While the G37 got re-badged as the Q60 in Infiniti?s confuse-the-buyer name-changing strategy in 2014, this latest Q60 is brand, spanking new.
