Refined interior, plenty of power on tap.
Ride a little on the crashy side, cabin lacks space, even for a coupe.
The G37 Coupe is interesting, but currently has some room for improvement before it can match the BMW 3-Series Coupe.
When Nissan's Inifiniti luxury brand comes to Europe in 2009, there will be two versions of the G37 on offer: a four-door saloon and this car, a two-door, 2+2 Coupe.
Both will be rear-wheel drive, but whereas the saloon version catches you slightly unaware with how sporty it is - which is a pleasant surprise - the Coupe's body shape raises expectations before you get in the car. Those expectations are reinforced when you sit in the well-appointed cabin.
So it is a bit of a disappointment when you start driving. Even allowing for the fact that the car we tested was built to US specifications, the G37 Coupe left a little to be desired, striking us as a bit like a neutered 350Z. Sure, it does its job well enough, but there's no real excitement, nothing to stir the soul.
Before European owners take delivery of it, however, the car will be fettled by Nissan's Technical Centre Europe (NTCE), which will result in the suspension being fine-tuned and the steering, brakes and aerodynamics being adapted to suit the conditions. These modifications will hopefully bring out some hitherto undiscovered qualities out and make the G37 Coupe a car that will be able to compete with the BMW 3-Series Coupe, the Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz CLK.
