Q30 looks like it will be manufactured at Nissan's factory in Sunderland, UK.
The Q30 is confirmed to be based on Mercedes-Benz's FWD platform that underpins the CLA and upcoming GLA models. Q30 will go into production in late 2014 or early 2015 and is expected to move 60,000 cars per year. No word on if the UK facility will share duty with Mercedes.
its likely the Q30 is offered with MB's 1.6- and 2.0-liter turbo gas plants, along with the 1.8- and 2.2-liter diesels but probably not in NA. Infiniti could also do an AWD/hybrid direction. Smartly they should scrounge around for a few AMG tuned turbo 2L's that pump north of 300 bhp.
