Previous owner of an 05' G35 coupe Laser Red, returning to the boards after a short break.

I'm currently driving an 08' Honda Civic coupe EX, but my mother has expressed an interest in buying it soon, (1 week to 3 week range). But even if she does not buy my car, I am 95% sure I'm coming back to the 'G coupe'.

My question is this:
Buy an 2009 G now? Or just wait 3 months and pick up a 2010 (which will have the interior refresh)?

Opinions, comments, suggestions?

Thanks and I'm REALLY glad to be back.

Likely to save a few grand on an '09 over a '10 would be my guess. I'd wait until I saw the '10 in person first, then decide if it's worth the extra money to you.

Welcome back.

 

Ah cool, welcome back. I found that the G37 is much better than my old G35. your going to like it.

 

2010 for refresh

 

If Infiniti's gonna include the synchro-rev transmission in the 2010, then I'd wait for it. Otherwise, I don't see there being any significant changes to make it worthwhile.

 

Ok, just read up on syncho-rev, (did not know what it was).
My question is: Does it 'rev-match' only on the down shift?
Or does it also 'rev-match' on 'up shifting' too?

Thanks Mike! I'm very excited and am really looking forward to whichever model I end up with.

only on downshift.

I agree if the 10 has that go for it, if not just get a good deal on an 09

 

I have a friend who drives a 370Z, he states that when it's activated it seems to rev-match on both upshifts and downshifts. He says it's a really neat feature, and best of all it can be turned off whenever you want to do it all on your own.

As far as I've read, I don't think this will be carried over to the G coupe in the 2010 model year though.

 

I've read that too Gamer. Or rather, read and failed to see it listed as an addition to the 2010 model. The only other 2010 feature that really makes me look twice is the improved 'hard drive navigation system', which really sounds like it would be nice to have. But will it be worth the extra $$$ of an 2010 over an 09'. idk....



.

 

the 09's are just so darn fun I would say save the $$$ and get an 09 unless there is a significant addition to the 2010's. and welcome back!

 

if theres going to be that synchro-rev for the '10 model, ill just wait. nissan will probably realized that the g is underpowered and raise up the hp and tq..if so, you probably regret not waiting for it.

 

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Infiniti already announced all the changes for the 2010 models. This from the offical Nissan News Division:

For the 2009 model year, the G37 Coupe lineup expanded with the addition of a new G37x Coupe AWD model featuring Infiniti’s “intelligent” ATTESA E-TS® all-wheel drive system. For 2010, the major enhancements are found inside the seductively styled G Coupe body – with revised colors and model/option package content.

The 2010 G Coupe is available in four models – G37 Coupe, G37 Coupe Journey, G37S Coupe Sport 6MT and G37x Coupe AWD. Every G37 Coupe comes equipped with a standard 3.7-liter VQ-series V6 with VVEL (for Variable Valve Event and Lift) rated at 330 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.

The engine is backed by a choice of an electronically controlled 7-speed automatic transmission with available magnesium paddle shifters or a responsive 6-speed manual transmission.

The G37 Coupe’s advanced platform and chassis also includes an available 4-Wheel Active Steer system (4WAS), which helps improve vehicle handling performance by adjusting both the front steering gear ratios and the rear suspension geometry according to steering input and vehicle speed. Braking and handling is targeted to be among the best in the luxury sport coupe class.

The G37 Coupe also includes an extensive list of available technology features, including a touch screen navigation system with XM NavTraffic® Real-Time Traffic information (XM® subscription required, sold separately), RearView Monitor and an available 11-speaker Infiniti Studio on Wheels™ by Bose® audio system with 24-bit Burr Brown DAC, 3-way door speaker arrays with 10-inch woofers and a 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive.

The 2010 Infiniti G37 Coupe goes on sale in January 2010.

Changes for 2010 include:

•Revised interior colors and new aluminum interior trim appearance
•New white gauge color scheme
•New center console design with revised lower center stack on automatic transmission equipped models
•New available next generation Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System with all-new features, including higher resolution graphics, Zagat Survey® restaurant reviews, XM Weather® reports (in addition to XM NavTraffic®), Speed Limited Advisories and fastest-route-calculation based on statistical traffic data (XM® subscription required, sold separately)
•New available Spanish language support for navigation displays and Voice Recognition functions
•New rain-sensing wipers
•New available Advanced Climate Control System (ACCS) – automatically shuts outside air vents when exhaust fumes are detected, while its Grape Polyphenol Filter removes airborne allergens from the cabin and the Plasmacluster™ air purifier uses charged ions to help reduce or neutralize airborne germs
•HomeLink® Universal Transceiver and Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System added to the Journey model
•Heated seats and heated outside mirrors added to the Journey model
•RearView Monitor now standard on the Journey model
•2GB Music Box Flash Memory Music Server added to the Premium Package
•Revised 18-inch wheel color (lighter)
•One new exterior color

Thanks Speedy!

I'm seriously considering an 09'. I don't want to rush into anything, but the longer I procrastinate, the less likely I'll find one in my color/equipment configuration.

Hey Guys,

I caved yesterday (11-07-09) and purchased an 09' G37 coupe. Not because I could not wait for the 2010, but because I low balled a dealer that surprisingly did not haggle, and he sold immediately, so the deal went through.

Here's the car:
2009 G37 Journey, Automatic, Premium, Navigation, White on Wheat. Had 2 miles on it and was still in the plastic. Price: $43,400. But only paid: $37,400.

As a guy who owned a 2005 G35 coupe, I have to say: This car is incredible. It rides and feels better. It seems like it has 50% more technology than my 2005 did. Just so much nicer. I'm VERY VERY happy, and look forward to enjoying it until sometime in early 2013 (when I plan to buy into the 'refresh').

I'm not sure I understand why it did not come with splash guards, but ordered those already and plan on getting a 'legal' window tint.

Man, it's nice to be back!
