I enjoyed this vehicle more that I thought I would.
Only cosmetic changes for 2010
The G37 is a premium rear-wheel-drive (RWD) performance coupe from Infiniti that’s also available in an all-wheel-drive (AWD) format.
Infiniti applied major changes to its G-Coupe in 2008. The alterations included a re-tooled body and cabin along with more power and performance. The extent of the makeover didn’t leave much to do for 2010 other than to re-work the centre console and some switchgear located thereupon.
The improvements are subtle but that’s all they need be as the interior of the G37 is beautifully crafted and well-executed in design and layout. Although the racy coupe seats four, only two will find long-term comfort due to an absence of rear seat headroom.
Full-size adult passengers confined to the rear may feel like large animals trapped in a small cage—but a high quality cage nonetheless.
Apologies aren’t necessary though—the G37 doesn’t hold itself out as a passenger or cargo accommodating sled; no, it’s defined by high-spirited performance combined with premium-level luxury and refinement. That combination also contributes to a small trunk in which the manufacturer has actually applied a decal instructing users—in four different languages—how to squeeze in two golf bags.
The high-performance persona of this car begins under the hood.
Outstanding powertrain even better with all-wheel-drive
The small “x” abutting the tester’s nameplate is Infiniti’s way of denoting “all-wheel-drive” (AWD).
I am a huge fan of AWD configurations, especially in powerful performance vehicles. The West Coast climate, which I inhabit, torments high performance vehicles with excessive wheel slippage if they are not gripping the “all too often” wet pavement at all four corners.
The G37x does a commendable job of apportioning its wallop of hooves to the four contact patches, all but eliminating wheelspin when the primary objective is immediate forward momentum, and plenty of it. The kick comes from Nissan’s award-winning VQ-series powerplant.
In the case of the G37x, this versatile V6 mill displaces 3.7-litres while developing 330 horsepower @ 7,000 rpm and 270 pound-feet of torque @ 5,200 rpm—so yes, this little heater loves to rev. However, its penchant for producing a merciless wail doesn’t mean that it’s flat on the upside of the tach, far from it actually.
