The G37 copes with the extra heft over its sedan stablemate—and satisfies the sportier criterion—with a new 3.7-liter version of Nissan's venerable VQ V-6 engine. The boost in displacement comes from a longer stroke; both the 3.5- and 3.7-liter engines in the G-car feature a taller block than the previous generation's powerplant. The G37 takes the latest engine improvements a step further and adds variable valve timing and variable lift on the intake side, and the compression ratio increases to 11.0:1. Power is up 24 horsepower at 330, and the torque output increases two pound-feet to 270.

The FX50 was adopted into our fleet for several reasons. First, we’re big fans of vehicles built on Nissan and Infiniti’s FM platform, which includes the 370Z and 10Best-winning G sedan and coupe. Second, we like new, shiny stuff, and the FX has been redone for 2009, adding a seven-speed automatic transmission and, for top-spec models, a bigger and more powerful V-8. Finally, we wanted to find out how the FX’s brakes would hold up over the long haul.
