What is it?

This is the closet thing to an Infiniti performance car that we’ll have from the UK launch of the brand. It’s a low and reasonably lean front engine, rear-drive 2+2 coupe, powered by the impressively versatile 3.7-litre V6 that is also used in the G37 saloon and EX37 crossover.

I am a brit who now lives in the US. I have been fortunate to own a G37S for 7 months now. The car is outstanding.

I did compare the G37S with a 335i coupe but for the money the Infiniti is a much better purchase. Similarly equiped (tricked out) the Infiniti is nearly 20% cheaper in the US. On road performance is almost identical (forget those daft track numbers - you'll never acheive them), and the two real kickers are the fact that the reliability of Infiniti (the whole brand) is fantastic - better even than Lexus in recent JD Power surveys - and the service experience makes BMW look like your local village garage.

I hope Infiniti makes it in the UK. In the US they have a great reputation which is wholly justified. My other vehicle is a 2007 BMW X5 so I regularly (too regularly) get to experience how BMW treat their customers. The Germans have a long way to go.....

...and it looks way better that any BMW nowadays...
