The 2012 Infiniti G37xS Coupe is a sleek, sporty and powerful upscale midsize car. This vehicle is a great choice if you rarely have back-seat passengers or a lot of luggage.

My test drive in the G37x proved that was not only luxurious but also extremely fun to fling around corners. With its potent V6 engines, excellent handling and high-end interior, it was comfortable enough for a long road trip.

The 2012 Infiniti G comes in three body styles: sedan, coupe and convertible. The manual transmission in the G was easy to shift and placed the power where most needed. All the body styles not only look good but perform equally well.

Our test car came with the premium package including a sunroof, rear backup sensors, premium Bose audio, and a sport package including 19″ wheels and a sport-tuned suspension with sport brakes.

The Infiniti G37 offers a good balance of fun and luxury, and its lower base price compared with many of its rivals makes it a good option among upscale midsize cars.
