We got an early look at the Infiniti G37, known in Japan as the Skyline. This car is the coupe version of Infiniti's G model, with a little extra power over the G35.
Infiniti took the 3.5-liter V-6 it used in the G35 and bored out the cylinders to up the displacement to 3.7 liters. The resulting engine puts out a breathtaking 330 horsepower at 7,000rpm and 270 ft-lbs. of torque at 5,200rpm.

Infiniti's new coupe is one of the best-looking cars going, with prominent front fenders and a sporty curve to the roofline, especially in the way it drops down toward the back.

Many automakers seem to have a problem designing attractive rear ends for their cars, but Infiniti nailed it with the G37 coupe.

The cabin of the G37 is decked out with tech and is as luxurious as we would expect from a G model. The car we had came with a five-speed automatic, although the G37 also comes with a six-speed manual.

We were surprised to see this compact flash slot on the stack. You can load up a compact flash card with MP3 tracks and have them play over the car's sound system.

Another surprise feature on the Infiniti G37 is the Music Box, an in-dash hard drive that lets you store a music library. The interface gives you the kind of control you would expect to get from any MP3 player, but with a much bigger screen.

The maps in the navigation system look crisp and clear, while POI information shows up on the screen. We also noticed that this system has live traffic-reporting capabilities.
