Why do new Infiniti sedans come with shitty german turbo I4? It used to come base with beefy 3.7 L Japanese VQ V6
Hell, my 2009 V36 with the 3.7 na puts out more horses than the 3.0t engine in the premium Infiniti sedan offerings.
My guess is this is to match the Audi and BMW markets, but it really is disappointing that Nissan is really gutting the "performance over practicality" approach that Infiniti always had
What does /o/ think about all this nonsense? Is this because Renault?

how does the torque compare? At low revs especially?

The rule of thumb is the 3.0t makes about 30ish more torque, and has 30ish less horses than the 3.7 VQ in the earlier sedans.
To be fair, the 3.0t is a more modern engine design and probably more efficient, but I am a stickler for NA setups just because of personal preference.
Also the 3.0t is the upgraded engine, and base is still the german I4 turbo 2.0.... 3.7 NA used to be standard

There's a 400 hp 3.0 twin turbo Q50 option. Might not be out yet.
