The G series were already a succes for Infiniti, but the Japanese brand thought something was missing. The planning director added the final piece to the puzzle, a convertible.
You would expect the convertible to be the same car as the sedan,only a topless coupe. You couldn't be more wrong. The entire car was redesigned: different body panels, a wider track and refreshed tail lights. One of the downsides of the convertible was the almost non-existent load area with the roof folded.
The standard equipment included a 13-speaker Bose sound system, a power tilt and telescopic steering column, an adaptive dual-zone climate control (adapting to changes in speed), 6 airabags, adaptive front lights and an intelligent cruise control.
The G37 had one engine option, the already well known 3.7-liter V6 found on the sedan as well. The powerplant developed 325 hp and 267 pound-feet of torque. The engine was mated to a 6-speed manual tranmission or 7.speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
As you would expect, the price of the G37 was not a bargain, starting with $45.000.
The G37 had a fair rival, the BMW 3 Series convertible. Pretty hard to beat BMW, as the G37 was the second convertible the Japanese brand ever manufactured.
What would you choose, BMW or Infinity?
