"Infinity" G37 S and BMW 335 in Road and Track (Super Coupes)

From R&T's web site. Text isn't new but maybe the pics. There is a video too that may be new.

Nice to know that R&T spells Infiniti wrong in a couple of places.

Although it's flattering to have the G37 called a "super coupe", the list seems kinda bizarre and a bit arbitrary. No offense to the Altima or Mitsubishi, but they're not the cars that come to mind when I think "super coupe"...

I guess they need a "super-duper coupe" list for the likes of Aston Martin and Ferrari?

I think the point of the article is to pick 2 top coupes in each price class.

I agree that the Eclipse is fugly.

Also, the list is obviosuly GT cars not all-out sports cars like the Ferrari. Think Aston and Jaguar, not Lambo and Ferrari.

Anyone notice on the g37 micro site, there's a "reserve your G37 now" button? or has that always been there?

I missed the part about choosing two coupes in each price-class... it makes more sense now.

The "Reserve your G37 Now" was put on there not too long ago. I wonder when Infiniti is going to release the pricing...

They did it more than once. In some places they spell it right and in others it's wrong. I can't believe a car mags website would overlook that.

Well, it's better than owners who spell our brand name with a Y. Or worse yet, members of an enthusiast forum who post about their InfinitY G35 around these parts.

Actually, in the video, the G37 is ahead all the time. Not that means anything.

Most of the other reviews say the G37 is better for track type driving (less body roll, LSD). I do find it funny that they would say a Japanese car is better for the Autobahn, especially since BMW owners take pride that somehow the German engineers engineered the car to be stable at ridiculous speeds because of the existence of autobahns in their neck of the woods.
