NICOclub Exclusive: Driving the G37 Convertible
You read right, folks. We drove the pre-production Infiniti G37 Convertible and you didn’t.
Infiniti appears to have a winner on its hands. Not only do you get the amazing VQ37VHR with 328 hp, but you also get secure top-down motoring with a three-piece folding steel top. The G37 Convertible features a special interior, and a unique Bose® Open Air Sound System as well as an adaptive climate control system that adjusts fan speed in accordance to top position and vehicle speed.

Worse yet, getting a jack under the car, even with low-profile ramps, was a huge task.
Enter KSport, with their Airtech Pro Suspension System - A perfect solution for the ride height issue!

OEM or Aftermarket Parts: Which is Best?
At some point in your car’s lifetime, your Nissan or Infiniti will need replacement parts. These may be internal mechanical engine components and involve something as relatively minor as a fuel pump, or you may wind up in a “fender-bender” and require a new radiator and headlight assembly.

Dealers are making unprecedented deals to move inventory, and it’s changing the rules of car buying.
