I almost bought a new G37 for the following reasons:
A lot of standard options / good value
Decent power
Unique looking (sedan)
Blue and white lighting
and a few others...
Why didn't I get one? Here's why...
Not as engaging as a BMW.
You lose the value with horrible gas mileage
The engine gets VERY unrefined at RPMs greater than 4000
The coupe has horrible trunk space (7.1 cu. ft, I think)
The styling, while nice, is due for an upgrade
Here's the most important reason: Infiniti is beginning to make the same mistakes as Lincoln. The Maxima and G-series are way too similar looking, and while it's not the case here, I feel that Infinitis may start to become rebadged Nissans... BMW doesn't have this problem. Our cars are unique.
