Not sure if it is a repeat but the G is on Motorweek again this week.

 

Thanks for the heads up Mike, do you know if it is the same episode as before?

 

From the preview last week, it looks like a new episode, Shane.

Hi Folks,

For those of you in the Buffalo/Toronto region, here is the schedule for the show(s) with the G test drive. (strangely, they call it the Infiniti G3 in the listing).

It's on WNED. See below:

Who wrote those listings? That's defamation of character, not only do they put infiniti after a pontiac but they also list it as a pontiac like model number!! It sounds to me like they are referring to the new sissy model in the G5/G6 line up .

 

What channel is that for us in Toronto/GTA?

 

Depending in your provider, I believe the channels would look like this:

Regular TV: 17

Rogers: 61

Cogeco: Not sure, possibly 19, 21 or 31

And for HD Digital Rogers in Durham at least, it's channel 525.

(note, WNED is PBS).

 

Christian, take a deep breath. Last I checked, the G35 had absolutely nothing to do with Pontiac.

 

Isn't Pontiac responsible for that those things? I remember a while ago Pontiac doing some shows pitting their cars against the competition. The fact that they were situations rigged for the Pontiac to "win" wasn't really mentioned. ;-)

Can't imagine why they would compare a two-seat roadster against a luxury sports sedan in the first place though. I mean, who is going to cross-shop those two cars?

 

It was a repeat.

 

Nice!

Time to go check the DVR - I have the show on auto-record.

 

OK. I just checked out the segment and all I have to say is HORSE$HIT!

They need to get new test drivers, wtf was that????

0-60mph - 5.7 seconds?

1/4 mile - 14.2 seconds @ 101mph? <<<- I got better speed in my 04' coupe...

60mph-0 Brake test - 126ft ?!?!?


WTF.

 

Seems to pretty consistent with that the mags are getting. What is interesting though is Motor Week usually gets much quicker than average times. I specifically remember when the new Altima came out and they got something like a 14.2@100mph out of it.
