Just wondering why people think the Premium Package in the G37 coupe costs $3,200 when the 2008 G35 sedan Premium Package costs $2,500?

 

its where infiniti is making there money, on the coupe everything is more pricier..

 

the premium package on the coupe contains (1) more speaker [hardware addition], implementation of the "Drivers Audio Stage" (which rocks, BTW) [software addition], and Rearview Camera [hardware and software addition].

seems like a fair price to me.

 

Rearview Camera is part of the Nav package. But Premium package has the IPod interface and stuff. I bet that's what makes the package more expensive compared to the sedans.

We will have to see what the prices are like for the 08 G35 when it comes out.

 

First, the 2008 prices are out. That is what I am comparing to. And, the 2008 sedan Premium Pack does include the iPod integration. So, $700 for one speaker, and the wiring and labor to install, plus the dual soundstage software.

This software better have been written by the most expensive soundstage software writer on the planet.

 

Yeah I just saw the prices. I'm quite surprised as well!!!

 

They'll sell way more sedans than coupes.The 6MT sedan is $3300 cheaper too for the same reason. The new engine is exclusive to the coupe for this year to boost desirability. Desirability =more money.

 

OR U could just opt out of the Premium pkg and never have to worry about it again.

 

whoops. totally screwed that one up. thanks.

 

Or, I could just buy a different car. But, how does that help answer the question?

Yes, the coupe options, except the Premium Package, are a little pricier than the sedan, about 10%. But, the Premium Package is almost 30% more expensive.

 

Sorry, I can't add anything that hasn't already been said.

You're sure tuned into and really take the prize on questioning all aspects of pricing on this car.

 

A Hyundai perhaps?

 

The Premium Package on the sedan includes the iPod integration as well as the driver's audio stage. As indicated previously, the nav package on all 08s - sedan and coupe - include the rear view camera.

The driver's audio stage is alright. It seems to be just mainly time delay on the right side speakers to equalize the path distance between left and front speakers so that it places the driver in the middle of the speakers. While it works pretty well for that purpose, I actually prefer the stereo w/ driver's audio stage off because driver's audio stage makes the sound stage really narrow. It sounds like the left and right speakers are placed almost directly in front of you vs. out to the left and right sides.

 

It also costs $700 on the coupe vs. $450 on the sedan to go from base to Journey, and as far as I can tell the only difference is that with the sedan you get rear seat air vents. So you get more stuff for less money with the sedan.

I maintain a pricing database, and this is unusual.

 

OT: you need to update your database to show the Journey package for the 07 sedan as it's not applying it.
