Infiniti G37 convertible:Features and Speciifcation Review

IT used to be that Japanese car companies were just copy machines: They seldom came up with anything original, preferring to replicate (whiie refining) someone else's idea. That hasn't been the case for decades, but there's no doubt that Infiniti keeps a close eye on what BMW does. If a sporty,well-appointed, front-engine, rear- drive, retractable-hardtop coupe with a lusty six-cylinder engine is good for BMW, it must be good for Infiniti.Turns out it is. The G37 Convertible is only the second drop-top in the brand's history. No mere chop-job this, as the body panels and chassis components aft of the A-pillar are new for this application. The top IS buiit by Germany's Karmann, an outfit known for this kind of thing. Its opening-and-closingact takes about 30 seconds either way. The strange proportions common to this type of car don't afflict the G; it's nicely balanced from any angie. Infiniti offers an optional wind blocker that reduces buffeting and noise level is substantially. Hidden rollover-protection bars; snap into position with the onset of impending doom. Bose provides the convert-spec audio system, incluiding speakers in the headrests and speed sensitive volume control. It sounds good but lacks some of the adjustability and imaging of otherhigh-end units.Most relraclables eat trunk space, and this one is no exception:Top down, you're left with just 2.0 cubic feet of cargo space, so pack light.Another downer is th.at all structural enhancements necessary to minimize body wiggle, plus the top's hairdware,add 450 pounds of chunk over the coupe.
