2012 Infiniti G37 Sedan Sport 6MT - Automobile Magazine
The Infiniti G37 is roughly $1000 less than the Automobile Magazine Four Seasons Volvo S60 T6 AWD, $8000 less than the BMW 335i we recently tested, and $13,000 less than the Audi S4 that came through our office a few weeks prior. If you were thinking that all six-cylinder, 300+ horsepower sport sedans cost about the same, think again. I'd like to say that the Infiniti G37 feels every bit as good as its pricier competitors, but its bargain-basement price does show in a few places. The transmission is classic Infiniti, with a clutch pedal that lacks fluidity and a springy shifter. But the Infiniti smacks the competition in one of the intangibles of owning a sport sedan: charisma. At the end of the day, the Infiniti doesn't compete against the 335i or S4 in refinement, but it also doesn't compete against them in price. The G37 is the "think outside the box" option -- a raw, sporty, six-cylinder sport sedan that thrashes the competition on price. My, my, what a long way you have come from the front-wheel-drive G20 of the 1990s, Infiniti. Now in its second generation, the rear-wheel-drive G sedan continues to please and delight.
