Monterey 2008: Infiniti releases G37x coupe, G37 sedan, revised M35

[dascrow]

Infiniti ramped up its presence in Monterey this year with the new G37 sedan and G37x coupe, the latter equipped with the automaker's advanced ATTESSA E-TSO all-wheel-drive system and seven-speed automatic gearbox. We're looking forward to seeing if the AWD coupe can retain the engaging driving characteristics of its RWD counterpart, while providing the security of all-wheel-drive for those of us that like to make a run into the mountains during the snow season.

Infiniti also used its time on the peninsula to show off the first image of the G37 convertible (we curbed our urge to take a picture of the picture), along with the release of the revised M35 and M35x. The 2009 model benefits from the automaker's scratch shield paint, new seven-speed auto 'box and an increase in output to 303 hp, while still boosting fuel economy by one mpg. We're eagerly anticipating the 3.7-liter V6 finding its way under the hood of the M sometime around the turn of the decade, with some G-inspired styling to match its newfound horsepower.

i dont get the logic here... so now the smallest standard car engine they have is in the largest car? isn't it weird that the G sedan will come stock with a bigger engine than the much larger M?

[msb3079]

yeah that is weird... and especially since there is now an M35S

[Infiniti514]

it is strange...they better get on that


so no 6mt with the AWD G37 coupe?

[msb3079]

I also have another question:
Will the coupe cabriolet actually be produced? At $42K base, it's a bit pricey ands on par with the 335i BMW cab. I have seen pix and really don't like it. It's kinda awkward looking. Of course if I was given one I would take it!

isn't the 335i convertible around 60k?
