Aside from aesthetics, the main reason consumers are so attracted to a coupe model is its power. There is a very specific thrill that comes from putting the pedal to the metal and feeling that butterfly effect in your stomach as you go from zero to 60 MPH in 5.5 seconds. This 2008 INFINITI G37 delivers just that.
Equipped with a 3.7-liter V6 engine, this red hot little cruiser can rip. Producing 330 HP with 270 lb-ft of torque, The Car Connection remarks that it moves “quickly and confidently,†proving its worth as a sporty commuter.Â
Matched to a five-speed automatic transmission, the ride offers responsive acceleration through paddle-shift control. The electronic gearbox system allows for smarter transitions by pre-determining the next step. Meanwhile, downward rev-matching helps to keep the chassis balanced to minimize lurching.
Despite its high-performance prowess, interested motorists should be pleased to learn that this G37 earns up to 17 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway — which, believe it or not, is an increase on its sister sedan model of the same year.
