Reviews SummaryNissan's premium brand, Infiniti, has long been an also-ran, as Lexus and Acura tend to dominate the conversation in the Japanese premium-vehicle space. The recently redesigned Infiniti G35 sedan might help Infiniti break free of the others’ shadows, however, because it’s got the performance, standard features, and price to be a real breakout hit. A major overhaul for the 2007 model year brought a striking new design, an updated engine, and an refreshed interior with upgraded finishes and materials. The G35 targets new-car buyers that want a sporty premium sedan at a reasonable price. It competes with cars from brands such as Audi, Cadillac, BMW, and the aforementioned Acura and Lexus. The 2008 model is offered in two configurations: A standard rear-wheel-drive (RWD) model and the all-wheel-drive (AWD) Infiniti G35x. Both models get a 3.5-litre V6 that produces power specs of 306 horsepower. The powertrain delivers to either the rear or all four wheels through a standard five-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual transmission is available for cars equipped with the optional Sport package. An Infiniti G37 Coupe is offered as well, but it has a different engine and is covered separately. | |
