I had to go to the dealer this weekend to pick up a couple parts for the G. A few of the shop guys asked me a couple questions about my car and we got on the subject of the GT-R, G37, and the second gen G35 sedan. They began talking about the AWD system in the G35sedan and then they began talking about that system going into the G37. Apparently a rep of infiniti or something told them this will be going on in 2009/2010. And rumored to be a convertable.. this was all from the mouths of the worker bees at the dealership.. thoughts?

 

What did you get at the dealer?

 

I do not believe a word they say.

I once was talking to one of the sales guys over there when INFNINITI has released pix of new M already.

And I asked him when they are getting new M and he was like.........NEW M? I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS ONE!

 

Just name anything man.

This guy needs all of it.

 

Nothing fancy, just splash guards.. I was acutally there trying to get info to make them a sponsor on the site so we can get discounts. Their fluids and maintance products are pretty pricey. I sent an email to their operations guy so hopefully something good happends.

Yea... one of them did not even know what a crossover was.. but i thought i might post this anyways, just in case anyone else has been blown this cloud of smoke their way.

 

This would Never happen... would be 1 heavy *** car! Coming in between 4600-4800 lbs.....

 

Chupa...4600-4800lbs????

the ATTESA ETS system probably weighs in between 300-400lbs. A G37 Hard Top convertible AWD would probably be close to 4000lbs.

It just makes sense to make a convertible version of the G37 coupe. AWD maybe not so much but I wouldn't bet against it. With the 3 series awd coupes and now the A5s....might not be out of the question

 

i can see it now...

awd convertible g37(38)tt...

i'd pay 60k for it.

 

So would I...especially if it was a hard-top. It would be on my wish list for sure.

 

Dealers are always full of sh it, they never know anything.

 

Heard the AWD speculation well b4 the G37 came out.....
With the 335xi out there..... it *may* happen
The vert rumour has been floating for years.

 

A convertible AWD G37... I could only imagine how heavy that would be

.

 

I'v read this on a car news website.

I definatly think its going to happen.

 

Umm...no. An AWD G would probably check in near the 3850-4000 lbs. mark. A drop top 37 w/ AWD...yeesh. I don't even want to think about that.

If Infiniti does a hardtop vert G37, rest assured that it will most certainly NOT be available with AWD, which when you think about it makes sense. Buyers looking for an AWD G37 will most certainly be concerned about cold weather conditions and probably won't be in the market for a drop top. And if there does happen to be one or two people looking for an AWD vert, they'll be a small group of people which unfortunately for them would not be worth catering to on Infiniti's part.

From what I understand, an AWD G37 Coupe is being readied for the Euro market, but buyers will NOT be able to combine AWD with the Sport package (just like the '03-'06 G Sedan and '07 G Sedan) which means no 6M/T w/ AWD. At least not initially anyway.

Funny, I know all of that ^ and I work at a dealership. St00ped.

 

Couple of you guys need to read better. My statement was for a AWD Convert G!
