In past years, the Infiniti G sedan has been close, but compared to the Kaiser of the Klasse, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/3+series\">BMW&#8217;s 3 Series<\/a>, the G35 was near the stake, but not a ringer. &#8220;Almost as good,&#8221; we&#8217;d all nod, &#8220;but its biggest strength is that it&#8217;s a bargain.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>When the G37 arrived, our initial thought was it was simply an amplified G35, a car that&#8217;s delighted our socks off in the past. But same car, bigger engine isn&#8217;t the whole of the story. Just as gourmet chefs tinker with recipes, Infiniti has made adjustments. Embracing the spirit of <em>Kaizen<\/em>, Infiniti refuses to leave well enough alone, and the G37XS doesn&#8217;t need to trade as heavily on its value proposition anymore. The G line has always driven well, but there&#8217;s always been compromise, too. Cheap interiors, choppy ride &#8211; a history of &#8220;not quite.&#8221; Has the G improved to the point of full greatness? And what happens when you add all-wheel drive to the mix? We hit the road to find out.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2009-infiniti-g37x-s-sedan-review\/low\/\">Review: 2009 Infiniti G37x S Sedan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2009-infiniti-g37x-s-sedan-review\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/g37xsreview09_01_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2009-infiniti-g37x-s-sedan-review\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/g37xsreview09_11_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2009-infiniti-g37x-s-sedan-review\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/g37xsreview09_09_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2009-infiniti-g37x-s-sedan-review\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/g37xsreview09_02_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2009-infiniti-g37x-s-sedan-review\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/g37xsreview09_03_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<em><strong><small>Photos copyright (C)2009 Dan Roth \/ Weblogs, Inc.<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/24\/2009-infiniti-g37x-sport-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Review: 2009 Infiniti G37X Sport makes no excuses<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/24\/2009-infiniti-g37x-sport-review\/\">Review: 2009 Infiniti G37X Sport makes no excuses<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:58:00 EST.
