G37 performance and appearance bargains on Amazon!
The nearly 50-50 weight distribution, available six speed transmission, Brembo brakes, limited slip differential, and mid mounted 260 horsepower engine made for a chassis that handled well and had the power to back it up.
The G35 was succeeded by the G37. Many of the components were shared, but the driving dynamics were improved. The engine would now make 328 horsepower, with an available seven speed automatic transmission, 4 piston front brakes & 2 piston rear brakes (sport models), paddle shifters (G37S model), and a viscous limited slip differential. The G37 is available as a coupe, sedan, and convertible.
Additionally, there is a sportier option for the G series named the G37 IPL. IPL stands for Infiniti Performance Line. The engine received a bump in horsepower, suspension revisions, and sportier body styling.
In 2010, one other option also became available in the G model line. The introduction of the G25 uses a smaller displacement V6, an automatic transmission, is available with rear wheel or all wheel drive and is otherwise identical to the G37.
The Q40 debuted in 2015. While it was originally supposed to be replaced by the Q50, Infiniti kept the [formerly G37] around as the renamed Q40 because of continued demand. One of Infiniti’s top sellers, the Q40 got a big price cut and represents Infiniti’s entry-level offering.
The Q50 contains many of Infiniti’s firsts: a drive by wire steering system, DAS – Direct Adaptive Steering (an industry first), a dual screen infotainment system (separation of climate control, navigation, safety features, and audio) which will help keep the necessities closer to hand, and an available turbo four cylinder and diesel option.
The refreshed M35/45 debuted in 2006. The new car was based on an improved G series platform with optional V6 and V8 engines. Both models are available in all wheel drive and ATTESA. The M45 received a revised multi-link suspension and double wishbone suspension which provides a sporty, comfortable ride. The M received high accolades such as Interior of the Year, a IIHS safety pick, and an award for the fastest production hybrid. The M is currently on its fourth incarnation, and in 2014, Infiniti renamed the lineup of M sedans to “Q70.”
Sales for the Q were disappointing despite excellent reviews by the press. Some felt the lagging sales were due to its more dramatic, European inspired styling. But many felt it was more due to a controversial advertising campaign during its crucial launch, which excluded pictures of the car or even a description of it. As a result, the Q45 ended up getting compared mostly to the similarly priced (but arguably more reliable) LS400, a car that appealed to a traditional non-sporty luxury car buyer and subsequently created an uphill battle for Infiniti to make the Q’s more driver oriented character better known to the market.
In 1997, the second generation Q45 made a change in direction away from sportiness and more toward luxury. The new body had a more traditional luxury car look and featured a smaller, slightly less powerful 4.1L V8. All of the luxury goodies were there, including some new ones.
The 2002-2006 model years were the highest powered and most luxurious of the Q’s lifespan, with a 340 horsepower engine, sleek styling, 8 way power front and passenger seats. The 3rd generation Q represented a minor shift, but this time back in the sporty direction. In addition to a sleeker looking body, power was now provided by a new 4.5L V8 that pumped out 340hp. The addition of the Sport package added active dampening suspension which allowed the Q to drive like a sporty luxury sedan. But it was not enough to save the Q from extinction. Due to slow sales, the Q45 was superseded by the M35/45.
Boasting top rankings in the IIHS safety ratings, and arguably one of the more handsome cars in its class, Infiniti added a new long-wheelbase (Q70L) version in 2015.
There are many technological and safety options available, such as lane departure warning, lane departure prevention, blind spot warning, Bose stereo, an updated version of ATTESSA, memory seats , and a barrage of curtain and side airbags. The EX35/37 is a graduated G37 loaded with enjoyable luxurious extras.
The next generation FX came out in the 2009 model year. The better selling V6 version remained the FX35, but the V8 model was renamed FX50, due to an engine change to a new 5.0L V8, which put out close to 400 hp, and a smoother shifting 7 speed automatic transmission. The exterior looks were softened a bit, the interior was upgraded in design and material, and the suspension was upgraded improving what was already a pretty good ride with decent handling. A minor facelift followed in 2012. But in 2014, Infiniti renamed its entire product line using the letter Q plus 2 digit multiples of 10. So the FX37 and FX50 became the QX70.
Infiniti’s smallest luxury crossover is still a practical size, and still turns heads – but where the QX50 really shines is on the interior – a perennial favorite among journalists. It’s flush with ornate details, rich colors and loads of technological toys befitting a vehicle twice its price.
Infiniti sticks with their ubiquitous 3.5-liter V6 with 265 horsepower, providing adequate acceleration. Front wheel drive is standard, with an all wheel drive model available for folks in snow and ice areas. The QX60 Hybrid is powered by a supercharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder, along with an electric motor to produce a combined 250 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque, but fuel economy is almost identical to the V6 model.
From the 2014 model, everything carried over for the 2015 model year… except the previously available 5.0-liter V8. All 2015 Infiniti QX70 models come equipped with the 3.7-liter V6 that develops 325 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed automatic with a manual shift feature is the only transmission offered. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is optional. We’d take the QX70 with all-wheel drive and the 3.7-liter, which moves the big Infiniti 0-60 in just over 6 seconds. The downshift rev matching function adds to the driving enjoyment, especially in twisty roads and when darting through suburbia.
If you plan to do your own work on your Infiniti, whether it be routine maintenance or more in-depth projects, you’ll want to have access to a Factory Service Manual (FSM). These manuals are significantly more accurate than a Haynes or Chiltons manual, since the information is developed by the manufacturer to be used by factory-trained technicians.

Inside each FSM, you’ll find repair information that the dealer-trained service technicians use everyday. While the FSM is intended for professionally-trained technicians with high levels of automotive experience and skill, don’t let that scare you. Even if you’re not an advanced do-it-yourself owner, we’re here to help.
Another benefit of having an FSM on hand is that occasionally, reference will be made to special tools and other information uniquely known by the dealership service centers, as well as additional troubleshooting tips, routine maintenance hints, and model-specific repair information.
Should I buy an Infiniti FSM?
Don’t be fooled into buying a digital copy on CD from auction sites like eBay. We provide our members access to the same factory-published FSM for free. [NOTE: These pdf files are marked for identification. Any reselling of these documents WILL be reported to eBay and Nissan!]
When you’re ready to begin your project, find the appropriate section of the FSM, and print the relevant pages you will need. This way, you’ll have it at your fingertips in the garage for easy and quick reference.
Cool! How can I thank you enough?
