Test Drive: 2013 Infiniti G37xS coupe
« on: November 09, 2012, 06:05:44 am »


The G37 coupe doesn't have German pedigree, but just the same, it's a fabulous sporty coupe.

I've been thinking about a used one of these lately.  Damn you for publishing this today!!!   ;D

Nice coupe, I do like the G37. I'd lost track of the price though...there are other other good choices around 60K...where'd they park that A5?

Agree, at $60K it's no longer a bargain. And $2,500 for the manual transmission on top of the sport package?

Do you mean A5 or S5?

I meant G37 at $60k is no longer a bargain. S5 is a whole different story, would love to have one but it's out of my reach.

Had to check prices. A5 starts at 46,900 and the S5 starts at 55,900...so I meant the S5.

Good bye nice G37xS coupe. Hello much nicer S5 coupe.

To be fair, the G loaded up is $57k whereas the S5 starts at $56k.  Add the equivalent options and you'll be over $60k.  If I was leasing, I'd take the S5 in a heart beat over the G.  I'd probably lean towards the G if I was wanting it keep the vehicle long term.

 A very nice machine great style in a er..2+2. Grande touring car yeah that's it. I don't know but I would have thought this would have the cache of a BMW easily and more dealerships to serve probably. Pretty shape but don't like the bulbous headlight covers...they ruin the line a bit. Come to think of it I don't like this aspect on any car and wonder why they are like this and when did it start to happen. I suppose that I could put up with this aspect.

The G37XS with Nav is $55.5K CAD.
The S5 starts at $56 CAD and comparably equipped to the above is a hair over $63K.

I've always liked these. It seems like they've been around forever.

Between this and the S5 or the 335 coupe, this isn't even a contest.  For $45-$48K maybe, if that.  After that, I lose interest in this thing.  And I still like the previous gen G35 coupe MUCH better - looks less bulbous and more buttoned down.  Now there was a beautiful coupe.
