It Makes a Fine 3-Series Alternative..

After an extensive redesign for the 2009 model year, Infiniti has decided that the 2010 G37 sports sedan only needed minor trim and cosmetic enhancements. But don’t cry into your Corn Flakes just yet. Despite fierce competition in its segment, the Infiniti G37 sedan still stands as one of the best entry level luxury cars on the market today.

Both great looking and fun to drive, the Infiniti G37 is one of the few Japanese luxury sports sedans that can claim to threaten the crown of the iconic BMW 3-series. Both offer sweet shifting manual transmissions, both have rear wheel drive (with awd optional) and both offer two door and folding hardtop convertible variants. The big difference is that the BMW costs a whole heck of a lot more for the 3-series than Infiniti charges for the G37.

Here are five reasons you might want to buy an Infiniti G37.

More Power—If the Infiniti G37 is one thing it is very generous with horsepower. Whereas you have to order the far more expensive BMW 335i to get 300 horsepower, each and every G37 driver gets 328 horsepower as standard. If that much power isn’t enough for you maybe you should seek professional counseling. The only problem is that with power this effortless the Infiniti G37 might ruin you for any other cars.

Refined Interior—No matter which color leather or trim option you choose, the interior of the G37 always looks like a class act. The 2009 redesign saw a big improvement in interior styling and the optional wood trim actually looks like real wood—not something you would ever say about the interior of a Lexus. For sportier drivers there is also polished aluminum look trim that gives the interior a more modern and futuristic appearance.
