If you were asked to name the most popular
car brand
in the U.S., it’s safe to say that you wouldn’t choose Infiniti. But Nissan’s luxury car brand had the fastest-selling model in March 2022—the Infiniti Q60.The Q60 has plenty curb appeal, but compared to similarly priced rivals, the sports car doesn’t really live up to its athletic look.
Infiniti Q60: podium-worthy sale speeds, weak show on the track
In an analysis of used car sales in each state,
iSeeCars
found that Infiniti Q60 sales in California were the fastest, selling within 15.9 days of being posted. With the average time to sell a used car sitting at 52.9 days, that’s lightning-fast.The Q60’s sharp looks and
V6 engine
likely helped its chances against competing vehicles, but for the last few years, it hasn’t exactly impressed critics. Car and Driver
says it doesn’t match the feeling of a BMW 3-Series or Audi A5 Sportback, and that its interior feels cramped and outdated.But if you’re in the market for a recent Infiniti Q60, don’t worry about losing features by going with a used one. The only thing added to the 2022 model was wireless Apple CarPlay.

One possible reason for the Q60’s sale speeds—availability
Data analysts can fret over the specifics of
car sales
all they want. In reality, most people are grabbing whatever vehicle they can get their hands on that in any way resembles the type they’re looking for.The impact of COVID-19 on the supply chain—the microchip shortage, the
trucking crisis
, the bust and boom of the car rental industry—has resulted in slashed inventory at car lots across the country. Buyers of new cars are waiting between six months and two years for their new rides.The Q60’s standard V6 might’ve drawn Californians to act fast, but scarcity likely played a larger role than horsepower. The lack of available vehicles is so bad that used car prices are almost matching the starting prices of new models.
