As fantastic as Infiniti’s new QX30 luxury compact may be, what we’re really itching to examine is the all-new Q60 Coupe. While it will still be a short while before we can share our firsthand impressions, we now have pricing information for the Japanese automaker’s most exciting model yet.

Set to arrive in U.S. showrooms starting in September, the Q60 will feature two engine options: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 making 300hp and an unknown torque figure. For those wishing the Q60 would push the performance envelope a bit, fret not, because there’s a Red Sport 400 model on the way with, presumably, 400hp.

The entry-level Q60 2.0t will start at $39,855 (including destination) and will be a rear-wheel drive platform. All-wheel drive is available for an additional $2,000. Standard features include 19.0-inch wheels, LED headlights, 8-way adjustable sport seats, Bluetooth, and a rearview monitor. Should you desire more luxury amenities, the $2,350 Premium package can be tacked onto the RWD or AWD model, and includes a power moonroof, Bose 13-speaker audio system, and a few other creature comforts.

If 208hp doesn’t cut it, the twin-turbocharged V6 will cost an additional $3,000 over the cost of the 2.0t Premium, totaling $45,205 but comes standard with the Premium package options. The present range-topping 3.0t Premium AWD Q60 will retail for $47,205. Each of these prices includes a $905 destination fee.

In addition to announcing the Q60’s pricing, Infiniti is introducing a Reservation Program on its Infiniti USA site. Those who sign up to reserve one of the Q60 Coupes will receive their choice of gifts, including a GoPro Hero 4, Tumi luggage, or a Bose audio system. Shoppers interested in the Q60 have probably longed for the sports car since its debut, and likely don’t need incentives, but I doubt they’ll argue with a sweetened pot.

Installing a car phone mount in your vehicle is the best way to make sure that you have easy access to your smartphone when behind the wheel. While you shouldn't be using your phone while driving, having it mounted on your windshield, dashboard, vent, or anywhere else will let you take a quick glance when you're using a navigation app, or to change your playlist when you stop for a traffic light, for example. Instead of having to pick up your device, it will be easier and faster to get these done while it's on a car phone mount for less time of having your eyes off the road.

Should you buy a used EV? Maybe, but it’s complicated

Electric cars are slowly but surely getting cheaper. Over the past year or so, Ford and Tesla have been discounting their most popular electric cars while other brands, like Rivian, are laying the groundwork for all-new cheaper models.

But you'd still be hard-pressed to call electric cars cheap, and buying a completely new car in the first place is a hurdle in and of itself for many potential buyers. According to Statista, used car sales represented around 74% of all car sales in 2022, and while this figure is likely to change as electric cars get cheaper, the fact remains that most car buyers would prefer to save cash and buy used rather than buy something new.
Buying a new car ain't what it used to be
Buying a car with an electric powertrain doesn't necessarily need to be all that different from buying an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. But there's a little more to it than that.

Rivian R2 vs. Ford Mustang Mach-E: Will the R2 be a better buy?

Side of the Rivian R2

The Rivian R2 has finally been announced, and it could end up being the go-to EV for drivers who want a decently affordable electric car with a rugged look and feel. But when it finally launches to the public, it won't be the only option in its price range -- the Ford Mustang Mach-E could be one of its main competitors.

The Mustang Mach-E may not be quite as rugged-feeling as the Rivian R2, but it does have a lot going for it -- like an increasingly low price, sleek design, and comfortable interior. Is one of these EVs better than the other? We put the two head-to-head to find out.
Design
The first thing to note about the two cars is their design, as they’re pretty different. The Rivian R2 is built to be a little more rugged and outdoorsy, while the Mach-E instead has a sleeker and sportier look to it. Both cars look stylish and modern.
