Infiniti's reinvented G35 is a treat to drive

From Thursday's Globe and Mail

WHISTLER, B.C. — Just so we're clear on this, Infiniti, the luxury division of Nissan, has always wanted to be the Japanese BMW.

It's really that simple and no car makes a better case for Infiniti than the 2007 G35.

Mind you, the Infiniti people don't puts things quite so crudely as all that. Instead, they toss us the keys to the reinvented G35 sports sedan ($39,990-$50,840) and send us north and away from this sprawling village and future Olympic ski town.

That's got to be some kind of mistake... at least I hope it is...

 

Nope, not a mistake. Keep in mind that this in CDN pricing.

 

Btw, great job GT-R for the ongoing updates to this thread as new reviews/videos become available. Kudos bro!

It's dated Oct 2006, but why does this look like the exactly comparison article that was published months ago?

 

I just checked, it is the same article.

Cool, thanks Ketan. I'll have to put a reminder in my calendar for it.

 

Shane, I also checked my local PBS listing and it shows the following times:

I'm sure you'd rather watch it tomorrow rather than wait a week.

If I'm out on a road test, I'm going to DVR it.

Ketan, I am assuming those are eastern times, right?

 

yuppers...it's their digital channel tho, so it may not be your regular PBS channel.
