2009 Infiniti G37 Sedan 6MT - Infiniti Luxury Sedan - Automobile Magazine
The G37S is a riotous drift machine. Just select the right gear, tweak the steering wheel slightly, apply some of the 328 hp, and ride the slide. Huge fun!

I got into the Infiniti G37S sedan expecting the vague, unnatural clutch-to-throttle relationship we'd complained about in our Four Seasons G37S coupe, but I was shocked to find no such issue. Clutch take-up felt much lower and had a much clearer engagement point than I remember from the coupe. Did Infiniti address the issue for the 2009 model year? (A brand spokesperson says no.) Was our coupe a "Monday car"? Has my recollection of that car simply been exaggerated by hearing so many other staff members whine about it? I suspect the answer is a combination of all these factors, but I nevertheless came away liking the G37 more than I remembered.
