Introduction

Infiniti G35 – 2007 Review: Infiniti was comatose before the G35 arrived to save the day in 2003. Sales were flat-lining, the product lineup was almost entirely comprised of chrome- and leather-trimmed Nissans, and for a brand built on the premise of performance there was nothing from Infiniti that stirred the soul. The G35 changed everything, landing a roundhouse punch to BMW's jaw. With a powerful V6, rear-wheel drive, quick reflexes, and beautiful styling, the G put Infiniti back on the luxury map, leading a product development renaissance that has resulted in some of the most desirable automobiles on the market. Today, the Infiniti G35 is completely redesigned, with more sensual styling, more performance, and more luxury than ever.

What We Drove

To see how the redesigned Infiniti G35 stacks up, we borrowed a pre-production Liquid Platinum example in Sport trim, which starts at $34,150 including a $700 destination charge. Our car was equipped with the power sunroof option for a grand total of $35,150. Options that were not included on our test sample included the Premium, Technology, and Navigation Packages, as well as four-wheel active steering, satellite radio, and a rear spoiler. Fully loaded, the Infiniti G35 Sport can cost nearly $42,000 and though our car was lightly equipped, we didn't suffer for lack of features. Consumers wanting all-wheel drive can select the G35x model, negating concerns about rear-drive in foul-weather climates.
