 As the latest expression of INFINITI “Inspired Performance,” the all-new 2009 INFINITI G37 Convertible is designed to rejuvenate the spirit with seductive styling and exciting performance – with a three-piece power retractable hardtop designed to look as good with the top up as down. It goes on sale at INFINITI dealers nationwide in June 2009.
 
 The G Convertible offers an all-new design from the A-pillars back, including extensive structural reinforcements, a wider rear track, modified rear suspension and a special convertible-focused interior with rear pop-up bars and available Bose® front seat Personal Speakers, wind deflector and climate-controlled front seats.
 
 The inviting G Convertible interior includes standard leather-appointed seating, a special Bose® Open Air Sound System that dynamically changes equalization based on outside noise, vehicle speed, and top position, and an adaptive climate control system that adjusts fan speed in accordance to top position and vehicle speed.
 
 Technology features include standard RearView Monitor and an available touch-screen INFINITI Navigation system with XM NavTraffic® Real-Time Traffic information with 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive, Pre-Crash Seat Belts, Intelligent Cruise Control with Preview Braking and Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS).
 
 Every 2009 G Convertible comes equipped with a standard 3.7-liter VQ-series V6 with VVEL (for Variable Valve Event and Lift) rated at 325 horsepower. The engine is backed by a choice of an electronically controlled 7-speed automatic transmission with available magnesium paddle shifters or a responsive close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. The G37 Convertible Sport 6MT adds sport-tuned steering and larger sport brakes, along with 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and W-rated performance tires.
