2011 Infiniti IPL G Coupe: The Review
http://www.reflectionsofthedrive.com/reviews/2011ipl/

 

Thanks for the review. Seems to be inline with what others are saying and what I would expect. It is definitely not for me (I checked one out at Sewell a few weeks ago identical to the one you reviewed), but I think it does have some appeal. I really hope they find a way to build off this to really make into something.

 

Great review but IMO I wouldn't get a IPL for almost 60k. It's still a g37 with only 20 more hp. Now if we were talking about 400 hp than that would be a different story. For 60k you can get a lot of cars that are better and more equip than a IPL.

But it sure does look sexy.

 

For around $10k more over than the G 6speed and poorly designed body kit......sorry...I'd rather buy a reg 6 speed and spend $10 in aftermarket mods....think Infiniti completely missed the mark on the IPL series....sad to see that.

 

I went to Sewell Infiniti yesterday for a follow-up work on the G.
They have 2 black/dark-purple IPLs fully loaded selling for around $55k.
I sat in one, I liked it alot! The body kit looks pretty good in person. I took a pic, will post later.
Just a drop and wider wheels and I would be set!
But, JD does make a valid point. Paying 10k for a factory body kit and like 18 more hp(?) is kinda steep.

 

JD, that's definitely a valid point. I'd most likely go the same route.

Syshs - $55k seems a bit high. The tester I had was fully loaded as far as I could tell and stickered for a bit over $51k. A 6MT starts at $48k. For reference, if you load up a regular 6MT coupe with similar options that come standard on the IPL (tech pkg, perf exhaust, etc.), you easily end up at $50k.

(for the record, the '11 NISMO I had the next week made me completely forget about the IPL. The IPL seemed boring in comparison.)

 

^ how are you getting all these cars to test drive???

 

I've just been lucky to make some good connections in the industry and to have a website doing fairly well. I think my high involvement in social media doesn't hurt either.
