We just got done reviewing the 2011 G37 IPL and have reviewed it for our website. Thought you all might enjoy it! We are looking forward to reviewing some of the other Infiniti line up in the very near future.

Enjoy!

I'd love to hear your feedback as well - what do you all think of the IPL in comparison to the standard G37S?

I stopped reading when you mentioned that the nav didn't have a touch screen. Did you try touching it?

I'd say it's a fair review of the car. I haven't driven an IPL but I would expect it to be a G37S with a bit better handling, sounding a little better and a bit better looking with red seats. The wheels imo do not look the same at all. I love the IPL wheels.

Infiniti has touted they are not competing with the M or F market...it will be interesting to see if they marketed this correctly or find a crowd of people that want a true alternative to the 335 at the same price instead of a car to compete with the ahem "performance line" from other makers.

I love the IPL, but I still cant get past that rear bumper. Its so wierd looking. It is still a very nice car. Idk though, I would rather spend 7k less on a g37S and have that extra money for exhaust, UpRev Tune, suspenison uprgades etc. And yea I cant believe that nav screen isn't touch.

Lol. Oops. Can't say that I did try touching the Nav. To be honest the car had 6 miles on it and I didn't want to get it all gummy with my hands. That, and we were pretty pressed on time to get all of our shots done in our allotted time. I spent my time driving - rather than fiddling with the Nav!

But I appreciate the feedback - that is an oversight I obviously missed and need to take note of in the future.

Cheers!

50k for a G that has a overrated 348 hp rating. Should of noted: Only a fool will purchase this vehicle.

Just cheat and edit out the part about the touchscreen. It has the same unit as in the other models, which have touch.

We are going to see a lot of used IPL on the lots when Next Gen G hits the streets.

Then all the young kids with money are going to go buy them and race them out.. :-(

Samething happened with the G35. I see a lot of them with body kits, spoilers, neon lighting, etc., etc.

Great Review. Would not buy the car. I agree with NYCMaxima on spending the extra 7k on mods

Also something I found misleading about the review,

the G37 is a Full size 4 seater coupe NOT a 2+2.

2+2 is something like Audi TT or Porsche 911 where you can only fit a baby seat in the back.
The G37 is more in line with 328i coupe or Audi A5 where you can fit 4 full size adult in all 4 seats, just not comfortably.

Other than that, I must say it's a pretty good review.
