Lexus has Neiman Marcus, Infiniti has Bloomingdale's for Special Edition 2009 G37
Bloomingdale's annual holiday catalog will provide an eight-page spread showcasing a special edition of the new 2009 Infiniti G37 convertible.
An exclusive Monaco Red leather-trimmed interior is one of the distinguishing features for the G37 Premier Edition convertible.
Big Brown Bag: Infiniti Offers Special Edition 2009 G37 Convertible Through Bloomingdale's
NASHVILLE, Tennessee — As the holiday season nears, fashion fans and car enthusiasts alike will be watching their mailboxes for the arrival of Bloomingdale's annual holiday catalog, this year set to include an eight-page spread of the 2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible.
Scheduled to make its official debut at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show in mid-November, the all-new G37 convertible will be offered in limited-edition Premier trim exclusively through Bloomingdale's. Although retailer Neiman-Marcus has partnered with automakers before on similar offerings, this is the first time Infiniti and Bloomingdale's have promoted a special car.
Powered by the G37 coupe's 330-horsepower 3.7-liter V6, Infiniti's Premier Edition G convertible comes with a dark gray Platinum Graphite exterior, exclusive Monaco Red leather-trimmed interior with hand-crafted, red-stained genuine maple wood trim, and a special grille and 19-inch aluminum wheels.
Additionally, the three-piece retractable-hardtop convertible offers automatic climate and Bose Open Air sound systems that preserve passenger comfort during open- or closed-roof motoring, as well as heated and cooled front seats, a touchscreen navigation system and iPod interface.
Dedicated phone lines will open November 10 at 12:00 p.m. CST to begin taking orders for the limited run of 200 Premier Edition convertibles. After placing a reservation, customers will be referred to an Infiniti dealer to finalize the deal.
Pricing has not yet been announced.
Inside Line says: Watch your mailbox beginning November 6 for an early peek at the G37 convertible ahead of the L.A. auto show. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor

Lexus isn't the only one to do Nieman Marcus editions. Ford did them for the introduction of the two-seat Thunderbird in 2001. In fact, the Nieman Marcus Editions were the first ones to actually be sold, before the regular production models (at a steep mark-up, of course, just like all the first-year T-Birds).

We have heard about the Neiman Marcus cars for sometime, BMW just had the 750 and M6 convertible ..Lexus had the SC 430 and IS-F and GS 450h to name a few.
While I commend the marketing attempt, it simply comes off as "blah".
I do love red leather seats though.
