Yea it was a loaner. When i seriously started to look for the IPL I found another IPL in malbec black with 11k and when i decided to pull the trigger I was to late. It was difficult to first find a IPL for sale and second find one that had a manual transmission. Patiently I found the exact match I was looking for especially since the car was practically new.

2011 G37 IPL me too!
Your post got me to register here...
I too just got a gray 2011 G37 IPL AT with only 9500 miles. love the car.. but the seat, it's to narrow, and digs into my hip bones, and ribs. Seems others have this issue.. maybe a different year or aftermarket seat for the driver side?
I was also a little disappointed in the MPG. I usually get the high end of the reported MPG, not with the IPL, lucky to get 19. with my absolute best mpg driving i can milk 23.4 indicated. Will figure out the real mpg on the next few fill ups. I keep a fuel n repair/upkeep log book.
Sat Nav can not figure out where I live, yet my phone and stand alone GPS can.. an update maybe?
Besides those things its a very nice automobile. It's not a car. I have had my eye on the G37, corvette, and M3 for 1.5 years. I found the IPL for a stupid low price.. can try it on for size for a summer and may sell/get the same $ for it. No huge loss.
I missed a M3 I wanted by four hrs.. but felt it was for the better as the cost of ownership is so much less with the bullet proof G
This is the finest automobile I have ever owned. (or so I hope)
It handles well. Is plenty fast stock to get into serious trouble unlike a Miata or most 2-3 liter sedans.
I do need to get tires shortly.. Ouch!
With a few tweeks this may be a keeper. My AWD Impreza 2.2 L got at best 25 mpg so for a heavy 345 hp car this may not be all that bad. I may trade it at the end of the summer if I cannot resolve the seat width problem... cutting the wings off may work but not sure I want to devalue the car.. So am leaning aftermarket race seat.
love the sound, looks, feel, and power. At HALF the sticker price how could I pass it up?
