2011 INFINITI G25 PRICED AT $30,950 IN AMERICA
A lesser-engined alternative in Infiniti's series of G cars, the Infiniti G25, will be priced at $30,950 when it arrives at U.S. dealerships in September. Canadian pricing starts at $36,390. All-wheel drive is optional. At this point, coupe and convertible Infiniti Gs will remain G37s only. Figures of 218 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque are slightly lower than those of a basic 230-bhp BMW 328i ($33,150). The Cadillac CTS, another hot seller, starts at $35,165 in the United States but is more plentifully-powered: 270 horsepower in the base 3.0L car. Another rival from Germany will be the Mercedes-Benz C300. Priced from $33,990, the C300 generates 228 horsepower. Indeed, the Infiniti G25 seems certain to steal sales from the $29,310 Acura TSX, a front-wheel driven 4-cylinder Japanese sedan with just 201 horsepower.As for comparisons with the G25's stablemate, the blissful and handsome Infiniti G37, consider this: a G25 with all the options should be priced similarly to the $33,250, 328-bhp G37. Unless over-powered front-wheel drivers are your thang, the $30,690 Nissan Maxima certainly appears less appealing than ever now that the Infiniti badge can be in your garage; the badge plus the pleasant rear-wheel drive dynamics.The Good Car Guy suggested in September that Infiniti could probably sell another 2,500 Gs in America each month if only there was a smaller-engined $29,990 G30. As a result of GoodCarBadCar.net's impetus Nissan had clearly been looking into the possibility, and shortly thereafter, Infiniti moved to right the wrong. The $30,950 2011 Infiniti G25 will be a welcome addition to Infiniti's fleet and should see Infiniti secure second spot in GoodCarBadCar.net's monthly Sales Stats roundup of Small/Entry Luxury Car Sales. As for the 2011 Infiniti G37, it's still a performance-luxury bargain.Related From GoodCarBadCar.netHow Infiniti Will Sell 2,500 More Cars Every MonthInfiniti G20 Returns To Join G25 And G37 With A Mercedes EngineSmall/Entry Luxury Car Sales In North AmericaInfiniti G25 Full Press Release
