The 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe ($34,250) comes standard with leather interior and all the power things, an AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo with auxiliary audio input, seven-inch LCD monitor, HID bi-Xenon headlights, aluminum 18-inch wheels with all-season tires, keyless entry and starting, tilt/telescoping steering column with increased travel, illuminated glove compartment and automatic temperature control.

The Journey ($35,000) includes a six-disc CD player, eight-way power front passenger seat, and automatic headlights. Its styling and suspension are both a bit softer.

The Sport 6MT ($35,500) comes with a new six-speed manual transmission, lightened with aluminum. It has bigger brakes: ventilated rotors, 14.0 inches with four-piston calipers front, and 13.8 inches with two-pots rear. The suspension is tauter, riding on 19-inch, 10-spoke aluminum wheels and high-performance tires. There's also a Viscous Limited Slip Differential, for increased traction under hard acceleration. The Sport looks racier, with more aggressive front fascia and side sills, and sport-styled seats with aluminum pedals.

Options include the Premium Package ($3200) with a moonroof, 11-speaker Bose Studio on Wheels audio system with iPod connection, memory system for driver's seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors, power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, anti-glare rearview mirror with compass, HomeLink, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, and heated front seats and door mirror. The Navigation Package ($2200) is touch-screen and voice-activated, with user-friendly and detailed information on traffic ahead, using XM radio; the package also includes a 9.3-gigabyte Music Box hard drive with compact flash drive slot, and a rearview video monitor. The 10-spoke alloy wheels with 19-inch high-performance tires can be ordered separately ($650), and a bigger, body-colored and better looking rear spoiler ($550) improves stability at speed. The Moonroof is $1000, and African Rosewood interior trim is $450.

The Sport Package ($1850) for Coupe and Journey adds the Sport 6MT's tauter suspension, 19-inch wheels and tires, viscous limited-slip, bigger brakes, front fascia and side sills, sport-styled seats and steering wheel stitching, aluminum pedals, and paddle shifters (for the Journey but not the Coupe).

The 4-Wheel Active Steer Package ($1300) makes lane changes on the freeway steadier and safer, by altering the front steering ratio and counter-steering the rear wheels up to 3 degrees.

The Technology Package ($1150) is all about safety and includes Infiniti Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), which maintains the gap to the car in front, with Preview Braking, in which lasers measure the distance and closing speed to the vehicle ahead, and pressurize the brake system before the driver steps on the pedal, saving milliseconds. This package also includes Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS), in which the headlights turn with the car, and a pre-crash seatbelt system, which anticipates a crash and tenses the belts to prepare.

Safety equipment that comes standard includes a new advanced airbag system with two-stage front airbags, side airbags in front, and full-length airbag curtains. Infiniti's Vehicle Dynamic Control helps keep the G37 under control in the wet. The anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brake Force Distribution and Brake Assist is the same braking system used on the G35 Sedan. Also standard is a tire pressure monitoring system.
