The Infiniti G37 is available as a four-door sedan, two-door coupe or two-door convertible, in a total of 10 different variations. All are powered by the same 3.7-liter V6, with either a new seven-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. Fulltime all-wheel-drive is available on the sedan and coupe.

The G37 Sedan ($33,250) comes with leather seats, automatic temperature control, cruise control, an eight-way power driver's seat, six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio with auxiliary input, keyless entry and starting, HID bi-Xenon headlights and 17-inch aluminum wheels with all-season tires. The 3.7-liter V6 delivers 328 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque in the sedan. The Journey ($34,000) adds a six-disc CD changer, eight-way power front passenger seat, and automatic headlights.

The G37 Sedan Sport 6MT ($34,250) comes with a six-speed manual transmission and a firmer, sport-tuned suspension. It also adds performance upgrades such as larger brakes, 19-inch wheels with high-performance tires and a viscous limited slip differential, for increased traction under hard acceleration. The Sport looks racier than other models, thanks to a more aggressive front end styling, with sport-style seats and aluminum pedals.

The G37x Sedan ($35,750) adds Infiniti's ATTESA E-TS fulltime all-wheel-drive system.

The G37 Coupe ($35,900) is equipped similarly to the sedan, though its engine delivers slightly more power: 330 hp, 270 lb-ft. The Journey ($36,650), Coupe Sport 6MT ($37,000) and G37x Coupe AWD ($38,700) come with essentially the same standard equipment as their sedan counterparts.

The G37 Convertible ($43,850) features a power-retractable steel hard top that opens or closes in about 30 seconds. It comes standard with a Bose Open Air Sound System that adjusts audio levels based on outside noise, vehicle speed and top position. Its climate control adjusts fan speed according to top position and vehicle speed. Infiniti's RearView Monitor camera is standard. The Convertible Sport 6MT ($43,900) is equipped like the other Sport models.

Option clusters include the Premium Package for the coupe ($3,200) and sedan ($2,500) includes a moonroof, the 11-speaker Bose Studio on Wheels audio system with iPod connection, driver's seat memory, a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, an anti-glare rearview mirror with compass, a hands-free phone system and heated front seats and door mirrors. The Navigation Package ($2,200 coupe, $2,150 sedan) is touch-screen and voice-activated, with detailed information on traffic ahead, using XM radio and includes a 9.3-gigabyte Music Box hard drive with compact flash drive slot, and the rearview video monitor. The Sport Package ($1,850 for coupe, $2,100 sedan) for base and Journey trim levels adds the Sport 6MT's tauter suspension, 19-inch wheels and tires, bigger brakes, sport seats and steering wheel paddle shifters for the automatic transmission.

Stand-alone options include 19-inch high-performance tires ($650), the moonroof ($1,000), and African Rosewood interior trim ($450). The 4-Wheel Active Steer Package ($1300) makes high-speed lane changes steadier and safer, by altering the front steering ratio and counter-steering the rear wheels up to 3 degrees.

Safety features include two-stage front airbags, side-impact airbags for front passengers and full-cabin, head protection curtains. Infiniti's Vehicle Dynamic Control helps keep the G37 under control in the wet, and the anti-lock brakes feature Electronic Brake Force Distribution and Brake Assist. The convertible features pop-up roll hoops behind the read seat for rollover protection.

The Technology Package ($1,150 coupe, $1,100, sedan) is essentially a collection of safety features. It includes Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), which maintains the gap to the car in front, Preview Braking to pre-load the brake system in advance of a potential collision, Adaptive Front Lighting to aim the headlights into curves, and the RearView Monitor.
