Here is some interesting footage of the new G37 convertible hardtop in action. This is a "lifted" video so don't blame us for the cheesy Cure track playing in the background!

Infiniti G37 Name to Car & Driver's 10 Best for '09
December 3, 2008 – Car and Driver magazine has named the Infiniti G37 to its 10Best list for 2009. Out of a field of 56 vehicles, the G Coupe and G Sedan rose to the top, marking the fourth time Infiniti has won this award, in addition to 2003, 2004 and 2007.
Each year, Car and Driver selects its 10Best vehicles according to particular criteria: how well it does what it should do (for example, performance cars should be fast and exhilarating), how fun it is to drive, and how much of a good value it is. G Coupe and G Sedan showed that their breathtaking styling and thrilling performance features make them truly worthy of recognition.

New Q Sighting...
Is it a 4 door GT-R with an Infiniti badge or the newest rendition of the Infiniti flagship?
Well, from all that has been rumored our of Japan it's both. It has been 3 long years since Infiniti pulled their flagship Q45 from their line-up. Since then they have been riding the M45 wave as long as they can. AutoExpress cracks open the taps once more, citing its usual "sources in Japan." But there's a twist.
According to the British rumormongers, the Infiniti-badged GT-R will be stretched to accommodate the extra set of doors, making the wheelbase longer and giving it a more comfortable ride. However, the GT-R's twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 won't be used. Instead, the FX50's 5.0-liter V8 will be mated to the same all-wheel-drive system and rear-mounted twin-clutch gearbox as its Nissan counterpart. Output is pegged at 420 hp with a 0-60 time of five seconds and a top speed of 170 mph.
While suitably skeptical about any mention of a four-door GT-R, this could be the long-rumored replacement for Infiniti's Q, taking the fight to the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63.
