The 2010 Infiniti G37 once again impresses in the entry-level luxury coupe, sedan and convertible segments due its elegant design, athletic demeanor, and attractive pricing. With its sharp handling, powerful V6 engine, user-friendly high-tech features and overall ambiance of high refinement and style, the G37 is worthy of very serious consideration.

And while in the midst of an extremely competitive market with strong and appealing rivals, the 2010 G37 is still able to stand out due to its head-turning design combined with a strong emphasis on performance, while also providing both luxurious comfort and entertainment in a stylish cabin.

The newest member of the G37 lineup is the convertible, which has the interior quiet of the coupe when the top is up, and the extra fun-factor of a convertible when powered down into the trunk (which it does in under 30 seconds).

Trims, Standard Features And Options:

The 2010 Infiniti G37 is available as a sport coupe, sedan or retractable-hardtop convertible. The coupe and sedan are offered in four trims: base, Journey, G37x and Sport 6MT. The convertible is available in base and Sport 6MT trims.

Standard features on the already very well-equipped base Infiniti G37 include full power accessories, leather upholstery, a power driver seat, automatic climate control, keyless entry, keyless ignition, xenon headlights, 17 inch alloy wheels (18 inch on the coupe), a tilt/telescoping steering wheel and a 6-speaker stereo system with a CD/MP3 player, satellite radio and an auxiliary audio jack.

The G37 Journey then adds a 6-disc CD Changer, a power front passenger seat, dual-zone climate control and automatic headlights, while the G37x all-wheel-drive model tacks on heated front seats and exterior mirrors.

The Sport 6MT (6-speed manual transmission) trim adds, obviously enough, the 6-speed transmission, plus a sport-tuned suspension, upgraded brakes, 18 inch wheels with high-performance tires (19 inch on the coupe), a limited-slip rear differential, seats with additional torso and thigh support and more sporty interior and exterior styling accents.

While there are no available options for the base G37, there's a number of choices for the other models, many only available as part of a package. The very popular Premium package includes ventilated seats (convertible only), a sunroof, driver memory functions, Bluetooth, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, rear park assist, an upgraded Bose stereo system (the convertible's has headrest-mounted speakers) and iPod connectivity.

There's also a Navigation package that can be added to the Premium package and includes a voice-activated, hard-drive-based touchscreen navigation system (with streaming Bluetooth audio, real-time traffic and weather), a rearview camera and a 9GB music server. Once equipped with the previous packages, there's an available Technology package which adds an upgraded climate control system, adaptive cruise control and adaptive headlights.

The Sport package adds most of the 6MT's equipment to the Journey or G37x, while stand-alone options include 19 inch wheels, interior wood trim and a rear spoiler.

Engines, Powertrain And Gas Mileage:

Under the hood of all 2010 G37 models is a powerful 3.7 liter V6 engine that pumps out a robust 328 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. It's mated with a 7-speed automatic transmission with manual paddle-shift controls on the Base, Journey and G37x models. The Sport 6MT is the only G37 with the 6-speed manual transmission, while all of the G37s are rear-wheel drive except the G37x which is all-wheel drive.

In performance testing, an automatic G37 Journey sedan was timed from a standstill to 60 mph in an incredibly quick 5.4 seconds. The heavier convertible (due to its top mechanism) is no slouch either, making the same sprint in just 6.0 seconds.

EPA-estimated gas mileage numbers for automatic G37s come in at 18 mpg city and 26 mpg on the highway. Sport 6MTs as well as the convertible are rated just slightly lower at 17 city and 25 highway, while the all-wheel-drive G37x comes in at 18 and 25, respectively.

Safety:

Standard safety features for all 2010 Infiniti G37 models include antilock 4-wheel disc brakes (ABS), brake assist, an antiskid system, traction control, stability conrol, a tire pressure monitor, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and active front-seat head restraints. In addition, the optional Technology package adds adaptive headlights and pre-crash seatbelts that automatically tighten when an impending impact has been detected. Convertibles are also equipped with standard pop-up rollbars.

In government crash tests, the G37 sedan earned a perfect five-out-of-five stars for driver front impact protection, four stars for the front passenger and five stars for side impact protection for all occupants. (Crash tests for the coupe and convertible had not been completed at the time of this writing.)

Interior:

The G37's cabin offers elegance, attractiveness, top-notch materials and build quality, and user-friendly controls. The front seats are comfortable, well-bolstered and supportive, while the optional sport-styled seats are still more aggressively bolstered, but could create some fit issues for larger drivers.

While the G37 sedan has decent room for rear passengers, its center seat is narrow and mounted fairly high, sacrificing significant comfort and headroom. And not surprisingly, rear seats in the coupe and convertible are more cramped than the sedan.

Trunk space in the sedan comes in at a decent 14 cubic feet and there's also a center pass-through for longer items. Cargo trunk space for the coupe comes in at a much smaller 7.4 cubic feet, but fortunately the rear seatbacks can fold down for added room. And due to the convertible's top receding into the trunk, cargo space there is a tiny 2 cubic feet when the top is down.

Drive:

The drive of the 2010 G37 offers impressive, even thrilling, acceleration and excellent overall handling. And while it's blessed with responsive, precise steering and strong grip in the curves, the G37's versatile suspension still copes remarkably well with road bumps and rough pavement, allowing for a smooth and compliant ride when simply driving around town on daily tasks.

Update: Weak Economy Leads To Lower G37 Prices:

Infiniti's sales have been on the weak side historically for close to the past two years now, right along with the other car brands and evidence of a continuing slow economy.

They've recently made some progress in offsetting at least some of the market weakness through strong incentives and easier-to-get discounts. The bottom line? The current combination of a soft market along with intense dealer competition has created the perfect opportunity for nailing down some great deals.

Car dealers will "wheel and deal" bigtime right now if you know how to push their buttons.
