Infiniti G37 Convertible Pricing Announced

Well that was a long wait! After being introduced at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2008, Infiniti has finally decided to release pricing for it's anticipated G37 Convertible. That's 7 months later! For buyers interested though, the good news is that the G37 Convertible goes on sale June 19th.

To me, the G37 Convertible is a much better looking vehicle with the top down than it's cross-town competitor the IS 250 C (Convertible). BMW vs. Lexus vs. Infiniti battle of the retractable hardtop convertibles! I'm sure that's a comparison we'll see in car magazines this summer.

Like always (practically) BMW's entry is the highest priced model in the segment, coming in at $44,550. Infiniti undercuts that price by only $700 with it's $43,850 asking price. Not sure which one I'd pick if I had to choose between the BMW and the Infiniti.

Cheapest is Lexus' IS Convertible, which Lexus has said will come in at under $40,000. That should make it an appealing choice in the segment for those looking for value (and right now, who isn't?). The G37 Convertible is actually the first Infiniti convertible since the M30 that was discontinued in 1992.

While the IS sedan is certainly good looking, especially in a sportier form like I saw on the road yesterday, the IS C doesn't seem to be all that attractive. It'll be interesting to see if the two newcomers to the segment hit their sales targets.
