But my lease is coming to an end - and after having completely enjoyed finally owning a sports car, I'm taking care of another "wish" on my bucket list and getting a convertible.

Going with an Infiniti G37 Sports Coupe with 6 speed manual in graphite platinum.

I will sure miss throwing my little white RX8 around corners, but decided a little luxury can't be bad, right?

I fully intend on buying a used RX8 for fun-and-games purposes sometime down the road, though. It sure is an addictive driver! Nothing like it.

 

 

Good luck.

 

convertibles are not that good.

you will get alot of road noise plus other things. You will see........

 

I disagree with Razz1. Of all the cars I ever owned I think I'm most emotionaly attached to my old 1987 Saab 900 convertible. It was a horrible mess of mechanicals and the hydraulic roof always gave me troubles and it seemed that if I went into a store for second with the roof down it would rain!

I vow to have another convertible in my life as long as I stay good lookin'. If you're fat and ugly get hardcore and stick with the stiffer structure of a coupe! LOL

 

Sweet! Congrats. The G37 is a nice cruiser.

 

In general, I agree. But this is a hardtop, and at around $45,000, it better not!

My FIL has a BMW 335i convertible and it doesn't have those issues. In every comparison I've seen, the G37 stacks up equal or better than the 335i.

We shall see!

 

I'm holding out (probably useless) hope that the backseats in this are SLIGHTLY more accommodating than the RX8s. But I'm not holding my breath.

 

horsepowers.....

also, no twin turbos! an aftermarket (good ones, like dinan) chip to modify the pcm of the 335i can get you 400+hp instantly.

 

I found the G37 to be frenetic at best, and have loads of understeer unless you really lay the gas on... Trunk is pretty pathetic for its size too...

I'd get an old RX or Miata for fun and a Lexus for the day to day drudgery. Lexus may be boring, but it is the best customer service I've ever experienced...

 

Why does the G37 drop top looks like the SC430?

 

dude the 335i has 330 bhp stock and with mods you can probly get more easily. Plus bmw>nissan

 

When did this turn into a 335 vs G37 debate? If he wanted the 335 he would have gotten it.

 

 

But the SC430 is butt ugly when the top is up and the rear end is ugly. That car was a horrible replacement for the previous SC coupe.

New G37 convertible is nice. I hear all that extra weight has dulled it a bit though. I would have got used Miata and a used hardtop G37.

 

ugly?

 

 

Usually they say wheels make the car, but not for the SC. Even without the man hole covers, it still looks ugly.

 

G37 can have twin turbos. I know a few ppl with VQ motors twinned making more power than should be possible.

 

Yep, ugly and it drives like it's on novocaine.

 

come to think of it. I havent driven a g37 yet. 35's are sweet. Handled well though you felt the weight. I'd assume the 37 would be similar. Maybe not.

 

 

that is extremely sexy 9k haha i thought they were ugly until your pics.

 

They were not as sexy as the original I agree but far from ugly when done right.

 

i hate how the sc looks stock.. but that last pic is pretty hot
