The G37 ups the ante in the powertrain department over the 2007 Infiniti G35. It moves from a 3.5-liter engine rated at 293 horsepower when mated to a six-speed manual transmission, to the first application of the new VQ37VHR variable valve event and lift 3.7-liter V6. Infiniti says the 3.7-liter engine will produce an estimated 330 horses. In comparison, the 2007 BMW 335i's 3.0-liter six-cylinder makes 300 hp.

The G37 gets an optional four-wheel active steering system, bigger brakes and a new exterior. Infiniti points out that exterior design cues include "flowing front fender curves, a wave-style hood and L-shaped headlights."

Extras will include a navigation system with XM NavTraffic real-time traffic, a 9.3-gigabyte Music Box hard drive, a rearview monitor and an 11-speaker Infiniti Studio on Wheels by Bose.

There are people who would argue that that sinister little creation, the automobile, is responsible for it all. We blame Al Gore, China, sweatshops, and greenie celebrities who flit about in private jets. Those who want to make a difference drive hybrids, while those who researched their decision drive diesels. Those who are truly enlightened and want to make a difference, however, seek someth...
