Infiniti has improved its fortunes and image, but many have wished for more products from Nissan's upscale luxury division.

One such new product is the all-new G37 Convertible, giving Infiniti dealers their first convertible to sell since the nearly forgotten M30. The new convertible features a 3-piece folding hard top and unique styling from the windshield back. A 3.7L V-6 lies under the hood, as the entire G lineup switches to the bigger six for 2009.

The outrageous FX SUV is all-new for 2009. Although the new FX is roughly the same size as its predecessor, it wears more aggressive new styling. The already quick FX gets two new revised engines and a standard 7-speed automatic transmission; the beefy 5.0L V-8 in the FX50 is rated at 390 horsepower.

What would we drive?

Based on our Velocity Index analysis, the 2009 Infiniti G Coupe (3.7L) seems to provide a good trade-off between price and vehicle performance.

Fuel Economy

Fuel economy has long been a key decision factor when buying a new vehicle. While the EPA estimates may accurately predict your mileage with a given vehicle, they are useful for broad comparisons of vehicles. Note that many trucks and large SUVS are too heavy to be required to specify their fuel economy.
