Paving the way for a affordable rwd 2.5Turbo coupe?

 

New 2011 Infiniti G25 Sedan On Sale Now With a Starting M.S.R.P. of $30,950 USD

 

While this might feel under powered COMPARED to a G37, it could have plently enough power for just daily driving.

Having driven the IS250 around a lot (I haven't driven a IS350 yet) I can say it has plently of power for normal driving and is just about as fun to drive as my 06 g35 coupe.

 

Anyone know when we should start seeing these at the dealers? I am really curious to take one for a drive.

 

I agree with you.

 

Power isn't everything; not everyone needs 0-60 in 5 secs....

 

Just took a G25 for a test drive tonight, and will be picking one up at the dealer tommorrow. 218hp isn't an issue for me, I'm used to underpowered. Trading in a 99 bmw 323i that I'm the original owner of.

Test drove a low mile 2009 G37 a few weeks ago, it felt fast, but didn't feel quick. In taking the G25 for a run, I thought it was a little more refined with less rumble from the engine. They probably also geared it down to make it quicker in the lower ranges. The raw power of the G37 isn't there, but 218hp seems good enough for me. MPG in CA is 29/20, was hoping it would crack the 30 range.

I have always liked the G37, much better design than BMW's 2006+ 3 series. Just always thought 300+ hp would get me in trouble...

 

Here in Canada, we have a 323i, which has a base price slightly higher than the G25. The 323i has 200hp, so Infiniti has the slight power advantage over Lexus and BMW in this segment.......at least here in Canada.

 

I believe we're getting one in our showroom this week. I don't expect it to stay around very long, but I'll try and get some pics of it.

By the way, our Infiniti Performance Line is about to start coming out with some really good stuff.

 

We have it here on Guam, gonna be given away at one of our malls here. I thought my friend was joking when he said G25, lol.

 

G25 finally here on Infiniti website. Starting price around 30K.

 

Waiting for em to show up at dealers!

 

I wonder if the paddle shifters can work on the g25


after looking at them.. I pretty much have a g25 just with a bigger motor... dang...

 

Man, G25s' are about the same price as the TSXs' and IS 250s'. Tough decisions for buyers in this level. I think I rather have the Infiniti or Lexus, Acura cars are for posers.

 

I am kind of underwhelmed by the mileage listed on the Infiniti website. 20/29 does not seem like a big improvement over the 19/27 listed on the G37. 1/2 mpg difference. To me 1 or 2 MPG can be made up in driving style. IE, driving a G37 conservatively will get better mileage than driving a G25 more aggressively. However, I hope in day to day driving the savings is more noticeable than just the EPA estimated mileage.
