But if you look up any information about the car, looks like they have not really updated their review or road test for G37 since 2009.

It hasn't really changed since 2009, aside from the front facia.

Maybe CR sucks. But I think they've nailed it on the G37. This is the 5th year in a row the G has won their award.

When I shopped for a new sports sedan last year, the G37 delivered by far the best bang for the buck.

I am totally in agreement here. I'm extremely practical, which means I want to get a lot for my money. I am also a huge car nut and I research cars all the time.

Acura TL - cost more, less hp and FWD - PASS!

BMW 335i - cost a lot more, less hp, less stuff unless you want to pay even more and then your maintenance or repair after warranty will break the bank - PASS!

Lexus IS350 - cost more, less hp otherwise a decent alternative but - PASS!

Mercedes C 350 - See BMW, but the Mercedes has A LOT less hp - PASS!

I agree with you, but the BMW and Mercedes are fine alternatives. You get a higher base level of quality, not just features. C-class is a great car if you like the Mercedes ride/steering. BMW is just the nicer and more refined version of our car, albeit with probably less return for the money.

Who cares what CR says. The G sedan rocks! All that interior space. A real trunk. Lighter than the coupe. And all that power! I say it's a top sports sedan too. Maybe Top Gear should have a place on their subzero board for it. Hahaha.

Bmw interior quality isnt great.. C class on the other hand is ****. For its price the gs the best for its money. The 335s engine is good for people who like low end torquey and smooth engines. On the other hand the g has the more high end power raw type of engine which i prefer for spirited driving.

Interesting that the G interior ranks so high up there. I honestly thought my 01 i30 had better interior quality than my 11 GxS.

There's more to quickness than hp. Both the 335i and the IS350 are quicker than the G. Not by much, but I would look at torque numbers for the real story.

Im not too sure about the 335i since I never owned one but I traded in an IS350 for the G37 because the G felt quicker. I liked the IS350 and planned on keeping it. One test drive and I traded it in just after a year of ownership. Maybe the magazines or road tests show the differently.

i like how he puts on the helmet. i think its a little overkill to put on a helmet while driving a 328 hp sedan with air bags l . hes right about the G though it is a good value.
