is this REPOST?!!?!?!?!?

 

look at msrp wow lol

 

5.5 second 0-60?

 

No, this is not a repost. Nice find. Seems like a weak 0-60 time. Although, weight has increased and torque, more or less, stayed the same. I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see a similar 0-60 and a quicker 1/4 mile than that of the outgoing G.

 

I believe that the 5.5 is for automatic and 5.3 for manual. Edmunds = automatic transmission and Car and Driver = manual transmission.

 

That's the MSRP of the vehicle that they specifically tested with the things inside of their vehicle. That's not the MSRP of the G37 base.

 

yea well, 13.9 quarter mile time as said in the video. where did you get taht idea for your name YIMBE sounds so cheerful

 

Oh lol. It was back in 6th grade when I wrote my name on all of my papers I would always write my lastname first and then my firstname initial second. So it would look like...

Yim, B (Yim, Bryan)

One of my friends caught on to that and then called me Yimb or... Yimbie and still does today. My nickname with many of my close friends is Yimbie.

 

0-60 could be faster. MotorWeek had the 5AT sedan a 5.5sec. The G37 has more powerful engine so I figure it had to have a better 0-60 time.

 

Associate Editor James Riswick says:
I've never understood the phrase, "Have your cake and eat it, too." I mean, what else are you supposed to do with a cake? Name an alternative rock band after it? Yet I can't help but apply this phrase to the Infiniti G37. Now you can own a sports car, only one that's actually nice enough to live with every day.

And for all intents and purposes, the G37 is a sports car. All the ingredients of a sport recipe are here: Z-car roots, voluptuous styling, brilliant steering, solid high-speed handling, 330 horsepower and a raucous exhaust note. Yet this is very much a comfortable luxury car as well. Despite wearing 19-inch rims and summer tires, our Sport model's ride was firm but never jarring on the battle-scarred roads of L.A., while the rev-matching automatic transmission with shift paddles is a fine substitute (particularly in traffic) for the G35's six-speed manual and its Thighmaster clutch action. And just like a luxury car, the interior fits like a glove, with ample front-seat accommodations, excellent ergonomics and thoughtful high-tech electronics.

No matter which way you slice this cake, the G37 combines canyon-carving sports car and city-touring luxury coupe.

 

I must admit that I didn't expect such a positive review from Edmunds after reading "Karl's" blog. The Edmunds review seemed much more favorable than the Car and Driver one. They seemed to love it.

 

What's the weight of the 5AT sedan? I'm too lazy to check. I know sedans should be slower but the coupe has quite a bit of added weight on it that definitely influences the 0-60 time.

 

Base price of the coupe according to Car and Driver is about $34,000 while Edmunds has it at $35,000. That's the range that I was expecting the G37 to be at. Hopefully it's closer to $34,000. I'm not too worried about comparisons with the 335i coupe. There's always that $10,000 gap that could be filled.

 

thanks for the video! the numbers aren't too impressive. I wonder what numbers they had for the 1st gen.

 

yim yim to the b its 3,538 lb for sport at
