Reviews SummaryNissan's premium brand, Infiniti, has long been an also-ran, as Lexus and Acura tend to dominate the conversation in the Japanese premium-vehicle space. The recently-redesigned Infiniti G35 sedan might help Infiniti break free of the others’ shadows, however, because it’s got the performance, standard features, and price to be a real breakout hit. A major overhaul for the 2007 model year brought a striking new design, an updated engine, and an overhauled interior with upgraded finishes and materials. The G35 is targeted at new-car buyers that want a sporty premium sedan at a reasonable price. It competes with cars from brands such as Audi, Cadillac, BMW, and the aforementioned Acura and Lexus. The 2008 model is offered in two configurations: A standard rear-wheel-drive model and the all-wheel-drive Infiniti G35x. Both models get a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 306 horsepower, which reaches either the rear or all four wheels through a standard five-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual transmission is available for cars equipped with the optional Sport package. An Infiniti G37 Coupe is offered as well, but has a different engine and is covered separately. | |
Reviews SummaryWhat’s the recipe for taking on the German standards in the luxury sport coupe segment? Infiniti thinks it’s technology plus value and a bit of theatre, and it may be right. With a fully redesigned Q60, Infiniti doubles down on the promise it made way back when with the G35 and G37, adding a new GT-R-related twin-turbo V6, a retuned 7-speed transmission, and a fully drive-by-wire setup that promises to be better than you in every regard. But better doesn’t mean fun. After all, a dual-clutch automatic is faster and more efficient than a traditional, 3-pedal manual, but it’s nowhere near as engaging. Regardless, the Q60 doesn’t offer either. What it does offer is striking styling, impressive handling, and more tech than a closeout sale at Radio Shack. | |
