2008 Infiniti G37 in Cornelius, NC - $16,900

The 2012 Infiniti G37 sedan features the visually striking G exterior design, with its signature long, wave-like hood, raked A-pillars and athletic stance projecting a balance of power and grace that is suggestive of the performance potential within.

The Infiniti G37 sedan is available in the following models: G37 Journey, G37x, and G37 Sport. Additionally, the G37 Limited and G37 Sport Appearance Edition is offered in both RWD and AWD configurations.

The front of the G Sedan is highlighted by its iconic headlight and grille design, which offer a crisp form and high quality feel. Standard fog lights are located in the lower fascia, where they help provide an upscale and distinctive appearance. The silhouette offers a wedged roofline and a sweeping body side character line that emphasizes both the rich shoulder surfaces and the G's rear-wheel drive orientation. The G37 Sport Sedan 6MT features distinctive front fascia, headlights and sport side sills – which are also available as part of the Sport Package.

In the rear, the refined, evolutional L-shaped LED taillights express the G heritage and the Infiniti design identity. The trunk lid is accented by an integrated chrome spoiler, while prominent dual exhaust outlets complete the sporty appearance.

The major enhancements for the 2012 model year focus on content refinements to the Limited Edition and Sport Appearance Edition models. The G37 Limited Edition adds a new Graphite interior color (replaces the previous Monaco Red interior), a Black Obsidian exterior color and dark-finish 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. The G37 Sport Appearance Edition model changes include a new Midnight Black grille. Other 2012 refinements include one new exterior color, Malbec Black, for all models (excluding Limited Edition and Sport Appearance Edition).

Power for the G37 sedan is generated by a VQ37VHR 3.7L V6 engine. Torque is communicated to the street through a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic with DS mode and Downshift Rev Matching.

The Infiniti G sedan rides on the automaker's sophisticated FM (Front Mid-ship) platform. Control hardware consists of a four-wheel independent design with lightweight aluminum components and front and rear stabilizer bars. The front suspension minimizes alignment uses a single pivot point lower wishbone and a long upper link. The rear design separates the shock absorbers and springs, locating the shock absorber inline with the wheel center to help reduce suspension friction and reduce the wind-up motion of the axle on acceleration.

Inside the passenger cabin is a crafted interior environment with a long list of standard or available luxury features, such as standard leather-appointed seating and "Shodo" aluminum trim inspired by a style of Japanese calligraphy. The instrument panel offers a predominately white color scheme for the gauge and LCD instrument display, enhancing both legibility and cohesiveness of design. In keeping with tradition, a refined analog clock is standard.

The interior continues to be an unmatched harmony between the dedicated driver's cockpit and comfortable passenger space – and between modern technology and traditional Japanese design cues. The result is a "modern warmth" that is unique in the sport sedan segment. The driver's area has a simple, intuitive layout with easy-to-read electroluminescent gauges. A center information display, located between the tachometer and speedometer, conveys updates from the drive computer (average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel economy, average speed, elapsed time, running distance, distance to empty, outside air temperature, warning displays, odometer and automatic transmission shift indicator).
