My Infiniti dealer is Mark Cantino of West Chester Infiniti located in West Chester, PA (25 miles west of Philadelphia). My car is "at the port" and will be here in 7 days. In the meantime, I made arrangements with Mark to stop by and photograph the unsold cars he has on the lot. Based on their G35 sales they were allotted 9 G37s. Five were pre-sold, below are photos of the others that were not.
One thing to note....the black Journey (next to the red one) has the intelligent cruise control (note the opening within the lower mesh grill).
I also got to drive a black/black 6MT as shown (but not dealer-prepped). I had driven two others automatic Journeys (with the sports package) but this was the first time I got to drive a 6 speed. What a difference! It is so much more engaging than the automatic. The pressure to depress the clutch seems much lighter than my '03 and as you take your foot off the clutch it engages very quickly...will take some getting use to.
I must say I love the sound my '03 makes and was dissappointed to hear so much less of the grumble....even with the windows open it just does not have the same sweet sound.
The car continues to impress with how "light" it seems. This car weighs 233 pounds more than my '03 but feels lighter and yet more structurally rigid than mine. Interestingly, when I bought my '03 I had an '02 WRX (great car - but a little "low rent"). At first - in comparison to the WRX, I felt the G35 was big and heavy. But after 10,000 miles it loosed up and has felt a part of me ever since. I was delighted to drive the new 6MT and am convinced I will enjoy this car for many years to come.
Enjoy the photos.
