The hot-selling G35 helped revive Infiniti sales. The second generation builds on this success with sleeker styling and 3.5L V6 that produces over 300-hp. Most models include a 5-speed automatic, but a 6-speed manual is available on the 6MT Sport. Aluminum suspension components and a stiff chassis enhance handling. Technology features include push-button start, adaptive front headlights, rearview monitor, and intelligent cruise control with preview braking. The tough competition from BMW, Lexus, and Audi made an updated G35 essential for Infiniti to maintain its sales momentum.

A sport package will be offered on the G35x. XM satellite radio becomes standard.
