Infiniti G37 preaches to the convertible

One great thing about living in Southern California is that we can still get excited when an open-top car makes its debut in November. Thanksgiving isn’t the only cause for celebration at that time; the Los Angeles Auto Show happens in the 11th month too — and it’s where the 2009 Infiniti G37 convertible will be introduced.
It seems like such a great idea, it’s almost surprising there wasn’t a similar G35 version (the G37’s predecessor), given that coupe’s popularity in this part of the world. Anyhow, this convertible version of the G37 coupe has a three-piece retractable hard top that sinks right into the body and, as its name hints, enjoys something in the region of 330 horsepower from a 3.7-liter V-6 engine.
There’s seating for four, and the car goes on sale in early 2009. Although official prices have yet to be announced, it will no doubt undercut what should be its arch-rival: the BMW 335i convertible, which starts at $49,500.
