Let's Get Dirty - Automobile Magazine
Three $40k, street-legal ways to play race driver in the dirt.

2010 Infinti G37 Sedan Journey Anniversary Edition - Editor's Notbook - Automobile Magazine
Lovin the red leather.

So, what makes this G37 an Anniversary Edition? Well, it has a Premium package, a navigation package, a sport package, and four-wheel active steering. It also has a new exterior color that most of us would call gray but Nissan calls Graphite Shadow. Its interior is leather, colored Monaco Red. (We've had lots of cars with red leather interiors lately, and I have to say that they don't really float my boat, but this one is well-executed.)
