Infiniti Announces Pricing on 2008 G37 Coupe


NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Infiniti today
announced pricing on the all-new 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe, which goes on
sale August 21 at Infiniti retailers nationwide. The Manufacturer's
Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starts at $34,250 for the rear-wheel drive
330-horsepower 3.7-liter V6-equipped 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe (with 5-speed
automatic transmission); $35,000 for Infiniti G37 Coupe Journey model (with
5-speed automatic transmission); and $35,550 for the G37 Coupe Sport 6MT
model (with close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission).

The all-new G37 Coupe offers significant enhancements over the previous
generation Infiniti G Coupe, including the first-ever application of the
new, more powerful 3.7-liter V6 engine with VVEL (for Variable Valve Event
and Lift). This new engine is backed by a choice of an upgraded
electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission with available
paddle shifters or a significantly revised and more refined 6-speed manual
transmission.

The dramatic new G37 Coupe retains the previous G35 Coupe's position as
one of the top sports coupes in the segment, while elevating its
performance, style, features and technology to the next level," said Mark
Igo, vice president and general manager, Infiniti.

The G37 Coupe's enhanced platform and chassis also includes an
available advanced 4-Wheel Active Steer system (4WAS), which helps improve
vehicle handling performance by adjusting both the front steering gear
ratios and the rear suspension geometry according to steering input and
vehicle speed. Braking and handling is targeted to be among the best in the
luxury sport coupe class.

These advanced performance systems are wrapped in an all-new seductive
exterior design with Infiniti's signature double-arch grille, L-shaped
headlights, broad rear fenders, large LED taillights and
performance-oriented wheel and tire packages.

The 2008 G37 Coupe's all-new interior design includes an extensive list
of available technological features such as a touch screen navigation
system with XM(R) NavTraffic(TM) realtime traffic function (requires XM(R)
subscription, sold separately), RearView Monitor and an available
11-speaker Infiniti "Studio on Wheels"(TM) by Bose(R) audio system with
24-bit Burr Brown DAC, 3- way door speaker arrays with 10-inch woofers and
a 9.3-gigabyte Music Box hard drive.

A number of options and equipment packages are also available,
including moonroof ($1,000), Premium Package ($3,200), Sport Package
($1,850), Navigation Package ($2,200), Technology Package ($1,150),
Performance Tire and Wheel Package ($650), rear spoiler ($550), 4-Wheel
Active Steer Package ($1,300) and wood trim ($450).

Full pricing and option information is available on the attached sheet.
Infiniti offers a full-line of luxury performance automobiles,
including the G sports coupe and sedan, the M luxury performance sedan, FX
premium crossover SUV, and the QX full-size luxury SUV.

The G35 coupe does not have a hatch door at the back.

I think it's because the 6MT comes with the sport package.

Yes, the difference is not just a different transmission . . .

well, remind you....this is a COUPE...and coupes are usually more expensive than the sedans
if you wanna compare IS350 and 335i, you should compare it with the G35
if you wanna compare G37, then the only choice is 335i coupe

I agree with PhilipMSPT its funny how the manual is more expensive than the auto...haha, but the first thing it comes to mind then is....probably Infiniti knows their auto tranny sucks

Not sure where this "same price" thing is coming from. 335i Coupe is $6000 more than the G37, base price v. base price, and about $8000-9000 more similarly equipped.

IS350 is a sedan, so it's a bit of a different market. Coupes are always more expensive than the sedan counterpart. 335i Coupe is $2000 more than the 335i Sedan, with the exact same features and engine.

You can bet that if a IS350 Coupe ever does come out, it'll be a couple thousand more expensive than the sedan.

The base price of a 2007 G35 Coupe is $33,450.
The base price of a 2008 G37 Coupe is $34,250.

That's a price increase of $800, or 2%. Basically an inflationary adjustment.

Not bad, for 55 more horsepower and an interior that's a thousand times better.

Huh? Doesn't the new G35 and G37 Coupe both have the same interior?

In my post, it's clear that I'm comparing the 2008 Coupe to the 2007 Coupe.
