Infiniti G37 Convertible on sale for official start of summer

[notlove]

Earlier this month Infiniti announced pricing on the newest addition to its lineup, the all-new G37 Convertible, and today the stylish drop-top officially goes on sale. Pricing has been set at $43,850 for the standard model and $43,900 for the G37 Convertible Sport with a six-speed manual.This weekend marks the official start of summer - the summer solstice - and therefore makes the perfect launch date for the summer-time favorite form-factor. With its combination of open-top atmosphere, luxurious interior and real on-the-road capability, the G37 Convertible is sure to please a lot of people.

Alongside the car's sales launch, Infiniti is also kicking off the car's marketing campaign with a new slogan: "Own the Sky". While first-year law students and real property professors the world over will have fun debating the implications, it's a clear attempt to highlight the convertible's main draw, and apply it to the world of online and TV advertising.

The car's 3.7L V6 engine is backed by a choice of a 7-speed automatic transmission with available magnesium paddle shifters or a responsive close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, the same as in the Coupe. Strangely, however, horsepower for the Convertible is down slightly versus the Coupe - 325hp (242kW) for the drop-top compared to 328hp (245kW) for the Coupe.

The roof design features a three-piece folding steel top and a special convertible-focused interior, including a unique Bose Open Air Sound System that dynamically changes equalization based on outside noise, vehicle speed, and top position. Also on the feature list is an adaptive climate control system that adjusts fan speed in accordance to top position and vehicle speed.

Overseas markets are expected to receive the car later this year.

There are only 3 convertibles In this world that I like. The Mercedes SL, the Maserati spyder, and this new G convertible. It is nice. Well the new Z convertible is quite stunning as well...Our dealer is getting about 5 of them this week. 4 of them have been bought and spoken for. The other will be the demo car.

ugh...Bentley's look too much like tanks from the front. I'm waiting for the headlights to lower and missiles to launch out.

C'mon Joe

There is no better convertible then The Azure T

It is Beautiful and has a 6 & 3/4 Litre V8 with Twin Turbo Chargers making 500 hp and 738 TQ.... What could be better than 738 TQ's ? Maybe A million Tq's

Ok To much top gear lol

I just think Bentleys are overpriced tanks.

Top Gear did a show with their "sports" car...they put the thing sideways so much that the tires blew out!

Hey anybody near Washington DC come down to Passport Infiniti on Friday the 26th for the Unveiling of the G convertible. There will be a Band playing, wine tasting, plenty of free food, and other goodies. And maybe, MAYBE, you'll have the unparalleled honor of meeting Me and Steve.
