By Matt Hardigree Though the shifter is well positioned and the throws are reasonably short, the six-speed manual transmission in the G37S is one of the car's weaknesses. If you're forced to drive this car in heavy traffic at frequent intervals, the newfound strength developed in your left leg will cause y...

By Matt Hardigree After a while we gave up and moved on to the beach. We couldn't communicate with the dead and our vehicle couldn't communicate with us, but at the very least pulling up to the beach in a shiny Infiniti coupe at least communicates to those around us that we've arrived.

By fiver One thing I did notice is that the installers managed to run my battery completely down during the installation - hopefully that's unrelated, and I assume they just left the car on or something and the A/C used up the battery.

The G35 sedan is starting to show its age, but I still enjoy getting behind the wheel. There's an effortlessness to the way this car drives that is very satisfying. You just get in, buckle up, put it in gear, press the accelerator, and go; the supple chassis, communicative steering, and willi...

By airolf According to the federal government's 2008 fuel economy guide (PDF), a Prius averages 46.5 miles per gallon (assuming half of a driver's time is spent on city streets and half on the highway).

Infiniti has categorically denied any plans to saw the roof off its G37 coupe, but frankly, we just don't believe them. From a sales standpoint, the opportunity is just too great - especially now that the G has grown into the boasts of its maker's "Japanese BMW" aspirations.
