Auto Highlights of the Month
By: Jay Chen
Infiniti G35
The all-new 2007
Infiniti G Sedan is the second generation of Infiniti’s groundbreaking sport
sedan. It is designed to create a more powerful driving sensation – from its
rewarding performance and sophisticated exterior, to the finely crafted
interior and intuitive technology.
The heart of the G35
remains its advanced engine, platform and drivetrain, anchored by the
"next generation" of the award-winning VQ-series 3.5-liter DOHC V6,
now rated at an estimated 300-plus horsepower. The standard V6 is mated to a
choice of a 5-speed automatic transmission. Steering wheel-mounted solid
magnesium paddle shifters are standard on the G35 Sport A/T model.
Available advanced
technologies include RearView Monitor, a touch screen navigation system with
available real-time traffic and the audiophile-quality Infiniti Studio on
Wheels™ by Bose®, combining the industry’s first 3-way front door speaker array
using 10-inch woofers with an audiophile quality head unit incorporating a
24-bit Burr Brown® Digital Audio Converter.
The 2007 G35 Sedan is
offered in five models: G35, G35 Journey G35x AWD, G35 Sport and G35 Sport 6MT.
Nissan Versa
The 2007 Nissan Versa
represents a dynamic new alternative to current entry-level hatchbacks and
sedans. Built on Nissan’s proven B-platform, the stylish new Versa offers a
spacious cabin with exceptional rear leg room, a high quality interior and
comfortable, stress-free environment. Versa is available with a standard
122-horsepower 1.8-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine and a choice of three
transmissions, including Nissan’s advanced Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable
Transmission) that provides smooth shifting and enhanced fuel efficiency.
The front-wheel drive
Versa is available in two body styles, a 5-door hatchback and 4-door sedan.
Both offer with a long list of standard and available equipment, including
available Intelligent Key, Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System, satellite radio
and Rockford Fosgate-powered subwoofer. The Versa hatchback went on sale in
July 2006. The Versa sedan model will follow in early 2007. The Versa hatchback
has a starting MSRP starting of $12,550.
