Used 2012 INFINITI G37 for Sale near California

With no significant updates planned for the 2012 model year, the Infiniti G37 finds itself competing somewhat shorthandedly against similar competition from the BMW 3 Series, Audi A5 and the Cadillac CTS, as well as the similarly styled Nissan 370Z. While consumers have plenty of choices for body styling when it comes to the G37, it has been a few years since any significant changes have been made to Infiniti’s premier sports car.

The Infiniti G37 is available in three body styles and 10 variations for 2012. The Infiniti G37 is available as a 2-door coupe; the Infiniti G37 Journey, the Infiniti G37x AWD, and the Infiniti G37 Sport 6MT are available as both coupes and 4-door sedans, while the G37 and G37 Sport 6MT are available as 2-door convertibles.
