More Engine, More Gears

By Halloween, the 2008 Infiniti G35 sedan will be in costume. And though Infiniti's sport sedan won't be haunted by Nismo or Autech, there might still be an opportunity to get scared and choke on candy corn. The G is going to the party as a 2009 Infiniti G37 sedan.
This party is the October 2008 launch of the Infiniti brand in Western Europe. Infiniti doesn't have the obligatory diesel engine ready to go, so it's putting its best gasoline V6 in all Euro-spec Gs. And since the company has already whetted our appetite for the 3.7-liter VQ37VHR V6 with the 2008 G37 coupe, there wouldn't be much point in sending both G35 and G37 sedans down the line in Tochigi, Japan.
So we, too, get the 2009 Infiniti G37 sedan. We also get a new seven-speed automatic transmission to go with it — in addition to last year's six-speed manual gearbox, of course.
Neither of these upgrades makes the 2009 Infiniti G37 radically quicker than the 2008 G35. But they put a slightly nastier edge on what is already the rawest of the rear-drive, entry-level luxury sport sedans.

This new g37auto gets 0-60 in 5sec flat. While the g35auto 0-60 5.6! And the g37stick gets 0-6- 5.2. While the g35stick 0-60 5.3! The new 7-speed has more aggressive gearing then both 6-speeds.

I think over time, with lots of tests, the 7AT and 6MT will prove to be almost exactly the same in acceleration figures, though there is a chance that the 7AT will be .1 faster or so... but I'd still get a manual.
Plus, the 6MT that was tested was fresh "off the boat" and not broken in... so it could warm up and be a little faster. We'll just have to wait for more data...
