Infiniti had a lot of nerve to officially unveil this object of yuppie contentment on a day that the Dow rediscovered the wrong side of 8,000 points. But wouldn’t you know it if the hardtop G37 convertible still manages to strike an attractive pose. There aren’t many surprises here; pre-launch images were released last summer. In the flesh, the kinship with the coupe is obvious, although Nissan corporate claims unique sheet metal aft of the A-pillars and a slightly wider track in comparison to the garden variety G-series. The powertrain includes a 325hp variant of the same 3.7-liter VQ twin cam that powers the coupe and sedan. Transmission choices include either a 6-speed manual or a 7-cog autobox. A sport package will be an available option. If you like the lines and the interior of the standard versions, then you’ll probably take a fancy to this topless edition. Prices aren’t yet available, which is probably for the best if your 401k has been practicing the swan dive along with the rest of Wall Street. This G37 won’t be hitting the showrooms until sometime around the spring of 2009. That should leave the aspiring class with plenty of time to rebuild their portfolios.

“that should leave the aspiring class plenty of time to rebuild their portfolio” he says (undoubtedly) with his tongue bulging through his cheek.
AWD is an option on the convertible? Must have missed that when I read the release.
The convertible looks great. I had a G35 Coupe with a manual six-speed for a while. Laser red. I still miss it.
OK, fine, you’ve shown us pictures of the G37 with no top. Now how about Halle the same way?
I think it needs some flame-styling on the sides…
This is the Infiniti? When I first opened the pictures, I thought it was the Altima coupe.
AWD will NOT be available on the convertible.
My wife drives (and loves) her 04 G35x and wants a convertible. You do the math.
I think I’ll wait till the initial hype dies down…I hope Infiniti gives a loyalty discount.
*yawn
This dashtrim treatment is getting tired.
Why don’t the seats match?
A viable option over the Solara at least (and at last).

The seats don’t match in my Infiniti either; the passenger seat is wider (with less bolstering) than the drivers seat for better passenger comfort. It’s not as noticeable in black, though.
