Even though it has 4 doors, maybe it didn't qualify because it's a hatchback.

My guess, they saw it from the front and couldn't stop laughing long enough to drive it.

2008 BMW 335i

Curb weight: 3616 lb
Power (SAE net): 300 bhp @ 5800 rpm
Torque (SAE net): 300 lb-ft @ 1400 rpm (I think this is the biggie)

Zero to 60 mph: 4.8 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 11.8 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 21.1 sec


2008 Infiniti G35


Curb weight: 3583 lb
Power (SAE net): 306 bhp @ 6800 rpm
Torque (SAE net): 268 lb-ft @ 5200 rpm
Zero to 60 mph: 5.2 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 13.1 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 23.8 sec

The "tale of the tape".

I have also hear that the BMW's that they give to the car mags for testing have "re-mapped" fuel curves.


Here is the kicker: BMW 335i, $39,675 base price try to find one at this price.

Infiniti G35, $33,115 base price, still less than the BMW base price, nicely equipped.

anyone notice the rumored 09 g37 sedan comment?

[ttrank]

Overall I like the article but they should have called it the sedan comparo, not 4 door. Otherwise it should have the mazda3 speed, R32 GTi and others.

.... and they are still bitching about the "refinement". I guess the Dodge was plenty refined.

Could there be a TT G37 with 500+HP in the works for 2010 ?
(this article is several months stale though)

they all do... it came out that Infiniti did too with the early years G35 (probably all years actually... I don't know how the G37 gets some of the reviews it gets... they drove a different version than I did)...

mag, street or you local drag strip, the 335i will blow the snot out of our cars - any year.

For of price of course, but its not a fluke or a test trick... try racing one - you'll see...

is this to imply you think any year G will beat a 335i? I'm not referring to an open course road race... I mean 0-60, 1/8 or 1/4 mile, stoplight-to-stoplight type... the 335i will smoke us (including the G37). Sad but true.

[Texasscout]

No, that is to say, I'm not stupid.... I wouldn't challenge one.

A 39.6K 335i? Guess if you consider "primer" a color
