From the second we learned of the G37 Coupe, we immediately wanted to know when the larger, more powerful 3.7L V6 would find its way under the hood of the sedan. The answer to that question is the 2009 model year, and even though the new powerplant provides a class-leading 328 ponies mated to an all-new seven speed automatic transmission, it won't break the bank much more than the last model. Pricing for the new G37 Sedan starts at $33,250, which is $1,000 more than the 2008 model but still more affordable than the Infiniti's main competition in the entry luxury market.
The G37 Coupe returns for 2009 with the same sexy lines from last year, but has added the new standard seven-speed automatic and available AWD to make the G37x. The two extra cogs helps to raise the price of entry to $35,900, which is $1,000 more than the 2008 model. AWD brings the price of entry for the G37x to $38,700.
The seven-speed automatic has Drive Sport (DS) mode and Adaptive Shift Control (ASC), but if automated manual shifting isn't your thing, a six-speed manual gear box is available for both the coupe and sedan. Each are now available in four trim levels for the first time: the G37, G37 Journey, G37S Sport 6MT and G37x AWD. Pricing for the upcoming G37 convertible has not been announced, but we should learn more during its unveiling at the 2008 LA Auto Show next month. Thanks for the tip, Justin!

Does the 335xi coupe sell well? Because thats what I expect the benchmark to be. I see a ton of 335 coupes, but I never stop to check out if its an 'i' or an 'xi'.
Not trying to start a flame-war, just wondering if AWD luxury-sport coupes are hot items.

They sell more in the northern climates. I've never seen a 335xi on dealer lots here in the south. I have seen the occasional 328xi driving around though.
BigMcLargeHuge 12:24PM (10/20/2008)
coupes or sedans? I think the majority of 335 and 328 sedans I've seen have had X-drive. But I never made the mental note to check the coupes.

Good question. Last year, I was looking at a G35 and the dealer told me that 90% of the G35 sedans they sold were AWD (the dealer is in MN). I'm not sure what the take rate would be for a coupe with AWD. I know I'd consider it.

Does anyone know if Infiniti will have a better manual/clutch in the new G37? The current manual transmission has been trashed in the reviews.

They've issued a fix via TSB. The consensus is that it's much better now.

Hopefully this news will make the 2008 lease prices drop even more.

Don't know about the lease rates and residuals in the US, but up here in Canada, on average it's about $150-$200 MORE per month for an 09'. High interest rates and a residual value increase of only 3% from the 08' make financing much more attractive. That's even with a $3000 price decrease on Canadian models.

Wow, that's some HORRIBLE paint on that G37S sedan :barf:

Acura can learn a lot from Infiniti.

I just don't get Nissan.
One Infiniti weighs more than the other, and one has more traction (G37x) so why are the axle ratios the same? 3.357
With a 3.692 axle ratio in the G37x, that could be a 13@110 car in the 1/4 mile, now it won't be.

It's a sport sedan, not a drag car. Fuel economy is more important the 1/4 mile times. Hence, the 7-speed auto which is suppose to get another 1-2 mpg more than the previous auto.
Regarding the manual, the initial reports I read say that it's much improved over the old one having 'fixed' the clutch issue.
MikeW 2:28PM (10/20/2008)
It already had the 3.692 axle ratio.
The previous overdrive ratio was 0.839 and the new one is 0.7715 (and the new 3.7 isn't any less efficient than the 3.5, probably more efficient at low speed / low load due to the intake valve lift scaling)
I think Nissan was trying to protect the GTR.

In picture 4, it looks like the sedan is surprised....

I see they've rid the ass end of that weird chrome strip thing. That's good. On the other hand, they've added a more dorky spoiler. That's bad.
All in all, I still really like that car for the pure hoonage awesomenessoctiy factor along with the wife approval factor. If money were no object I would have the 335, but let's face it, money is an object.

No 6-speed manual on the X models? Meh. Good thing it's outta my price range, or else I'd probably bitch about not wanting to buy one.

After hearing about the G37's requirement for a "special" oil to run without a noisy engine, I'm not as impressed with this car. The oil changes at the dealership now cost $110 for the Ester Oil that it requires. BAH!
