The Infiniti G37 sports sedan is one of our favorite cars here at Consumer Reports Auto Test Center. It's not common to find a car that's comfortable on a long trip, as well as being an entertaining, drift-king around the track.
But the G has long occupied an unusual place in the market. Unlike rivals BMW 3 Series, Lexus IS, and Mercedes C-Class, the G never offered a lower-powered version. Instead, it carved out a niche by selling lots of power at a price comparable to the base-engine competition.
Still, you have to wonder. When most compact sports sedans are used to ferry professionals on their daily commute rather than racing around a track, the ability to go 0-60 mph in the G37's 5.6 seconds gets lost in the wash. However, a lower lease price and better fuel economy can mean a lot to this buyer, especially in a down economy.
