what's your point?

it's preproduction model #33 for the G.

the 335i has been shipping for awhile.

mantisG35

i just think it's funny

Re-read that. It is an early production model -- not a preproduction model.

I think the point is if anyone is going to blast the 335i for having problems, they can't let the G37 slide when it has problems as well.

This clutch-sticking problem has plagued G owners for years.

The words Nissan, Transmission, and Clutch seriously do not positively belong in the same sentence. I think Infiniti did a hell of a job with the new G37, but if they havent fixed these retarded issues with the clutch (07 Z's are having same issues) then this is just sad. What revision are they on so far? #12 ?

mantisG35

while i agree on everything you are saying I have to point out a positive side to this: when you buy a nissan car (infiniti included) you already expect the potential problems so you can plan accordingly.

lmaoooo that happened to me and my 04 g last night i was like wtf

mantisG35

that's funny! how'd u get around it?

Comatose

err.. is that really funny? :P (I couldn't sense the sarcasm~ )
How often does this happen? It'd be freaky if this happened during a 1-2 making a left off of an intersection... with an oncoming semi headed your way!!

What kind of crap is this? When you buy a car (especially a higher line car like an Infiniti) you shouldn't have to "expect potential problems." I can understand having to learn how to deal with a clutch that grabs high and a transmission that isn't the smoothest in the world, but NO ONE should expect to have to deal with a clutch pedal sticking to the floor. Niggles and quirks are fine, but flat out failures and malfunctions such as these are just ridiculous and things that should have been sorted out during the testing and pre-production phase of the automobile's life.

im not saying it's cool to have defects, but im saying if you are to have defects (which you will in ANY car) it'd be better if you knew/heard of them before you made your decision to buy the car. Or maybe it gives you more awareness that one day the clutch might fail or something

I like Nissan/Infiniti, but this is getting old and ridiculous now. I really hope the HR's dont pop up with some oil consumption issues, now that'll be some sh*t!

According to Infiniti... this G37 will get 10% better mileage than the current G35, which is nice. Right now I'm hoping that I could get at least 22mpg regularly... that's my first goal, hehe.

Everyone has to assess their driving patterns and make decisions based on how they intend to drive their car. Although I live and work in the country, I'm finding it more and more difficult to get the opportunity of driving my car hard. So since I don't track my car, it finally dawned on me that it makes more sense buying a car that handles well and gets great gas mileage, as opposed to having some uncomfortable 400 HP+ car that gets less than 20 MPG.

These powerful cars may make their owners feel good psychologically, but they are getting less and less practical in the real world. On top of that many jurisdictions are now installing speed cameras. Since these are great revenue generators, I expect to see these cameras proliferate around the country.
