Fifth Gear Web TV - Infiniti M37 Road Test

Vicki tests out the new M37 from Infiniti -- an executive saloon car that comes with the same powerful V6 engine as Nissan's 370z; and such luxurious gadgets as a Sat Nav that can find Michelin-starred restaurants and an air con system that breathes woodland fragrances into the cabin. But is this funny looking saloon car really a match for proven German rivals? For more videos, news and reviews go to fwd.five.tv/fif...

[@Kyle-nr6nm]

3.7 V6, the M37 says it all

[@yellowmalice3036]

I don't care how "unrefined" it is compared to the German calves; that sedan is unspeakably beautiful!! Every time I see one on the road or parked, I can't help but stare and gawk at it. Hope to own an MX or QX one day.

[@keronfarrier2198]

Feel the same way just bought one

[@temimayor7660]

@@keronfarrier2198 Pls keron would you still recommend getting this car? I'm looking at this or the Lexus gs 350. What do you say about the transmission or any common issues to be mindful of. Thanks for your feedbacks

[@stephencannon3140]

Saloon: Sedan Estate: Wagon Only took me about two episodes of Wheeler Dealers to catch that. Good review and although not available in Europe anymore I found a low mileage Q70L AWD.

[@Devilsfan3332]

the M is the flagship of the Infiniti range

[@kempowarrior]

I think she mean 3.7 not 3.6 liters, that is why it called the "M37" unless in Europe they use a smaller engine or displacement.

[@heartboy86]

also they were the first to first American luxury carmaker to implement a 24-hour, 365 day-a-year roadside service program first automotive application of thermal-imaging technology: Night Vision.,make you sure you read all four of my comments so you will comprehend please...

[@sk8punk318]

3.6?

[@yzoooon]

Mercedes - Classy, BMW - Power , Lexus - Luxurious , Infiniti - Elegant , Porsche - EVERYTHING lol

[@ambientflier]

Do you realize that the 330d is a compact car and the M37 is a lot bigger?

[@jmichael1holmes]

im sooo sick of the reviewers not acknowledging the audi a6 as a competitor! and the lexus gs! the M and the A6 are my fave mids...

[@gngan]

@FuriousPumpkin Most US cars has big engine with not so good handling. They are built for drag races. All cars should be more economical to save the world.

[@Light23K]

@Johncarson9113 that is so true i was planning on buying a BMW or Benz but didn't because i know it would cost a lot to fix.I am driving a Acura since 2002 and besides 1 rear light bulb needs replacing(under warranty)there has been no problem at all.I am a mailman and one of my customers bought a brand new BMW 3 sedan and less than a month later he had his car towed to the shop, that's pathetic.right besides the price of the car, there should be estimated repair cost yearly.

[@brucec43]

E class more involving? LOL

[@stevendavis5407]

according to these german videos when they view a car that isn't german its never good. 28 mpg isnt thirsty. this is a 3.7 not a 3.6. This m performs better then both of "best german" cars. to much over praise.

[@ourcollectiveinsanity]

dont forget that it is much more reliable also

[@Light23K]

@yzoooon like they say when you own 1 porche, you own them all because that look the same.

[@usernamefromhell]

@vk45de true I should have said 6 cylinder, I was thinking of the Merc when I wrote it.

[@ganee6a]

there is also M56S if u wanna talk about POWER

[@castironkev]

@dankebuddha 3.8 is the gtr, 3.7 is the Z

[@bellrll1]

nice!

[@ChristewieTV]

Not to forget that the Infiniti is more reliable

[@yelowca]

@itsTiLER it does

[@hayksamvelyan]

@w00xer yeah, I guess all that time behind the wheel has payed its toll

[@KPKaccountt]

[@Johncarson9113]

@carschase99 I hope the name "Vicky" is what you decided to call the Infiniti M sedan in the video. At least thats what I hope your talking about.

[@wordreet]

Quirky?! That's very polite. It's bloomin ugly!

[@undarlegt]

What bothers me the most is that from a distance, the front and the back looks like a poor mixture of Korean cars and the old Mitsubishi Lancer. Doesnt' really have the "grand luxury" classy look you might expect from an Infinity.

[@TheKaeseStulle]

Next up babys doing driving reviews

[@kyleport101]

@Mr330d Slower then a 330d??? Haha thats laughable, the 330d has less the 255 HP while the Infiniti M37 composes a 3.7 liter V6 emitting 330 HP. And obviously the MPG is going to better in a diesel, that doesn't make it a better car. If you want to go green then those who want an Infiniti will got for a 2012 M35 hybrid which is the fastest hybrid powered luxury car in the world.

[@alernest]

@totwiedisco By all means!

[@Johncarson9113]

@SPMNDK89 Maybe you did luck out?? But I never stated BMW was the worst brand. If anything they where a beacon and an inspiration to the current segment of other luxury performance car brands. The M-series alone is an amazing line up, I cant take away the long history and heritage of the BMW. They design beautiful cars however its a shame they are of rubbish quality. Reliability is simply not their strong suit. They lack what some Japanese rivals have to offer & vise versa.

[@ambientflier]

The bmw is still a lot smaller and ligher. And it's turbo and has a lot of torque. And wtf does the redline have to do with anything? Nothing. You want to compare cars closer in size, compare to the G37, which blows away your 330d, modded or not, while STILL being bigger and roomier.

[@dus000]

this cars sexy

[@Johncarson9113]

@GoldenGuard33 How is your statement any different from mine? Your comment is strictly opinion and biased therefore invalid. & BMW reliable? Are you kidding me, there is a reason why there are law suits against them! Don't try to tell me what I know & dont know, I was an owner of a 07 BMW 335i, HPFP failures where the worst experience Ive encountered the run flat tire ware is horrible they dont even last what they are suppose to. I now have a 2009 Infiniti G37 & so far I couldn't be happier

[@AllThingsG7]

Did she say 816 horsepower?🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@chitpaul]

She can drive but very poor presentation... to much looking deep and fast at the camera... chill out woman it's a car.. show us more of the car not just her boat race.

[@silverbullet1979]

mmmm, M for missed, I hope not...

[@alernest]

@OpFbM3 Utterly wrong!!! Maxima is FWD, M37 is RWD. Completely different car to that American plastic piece of supermarket-crap.

[@KPKaccountt]

when the first time i got inside this car,i fell in love with it ! Somehow it got the essence of 50s-60s italian cars but also feels japanese at the same time,its just a perfect car,im gonna buy it when i grow up ! I just love it !

[@jorsschezz]

Wrong !!!!!....it's a 3.7L V6. Get your facts right!

did you see the infiniti g37 vs bmw 3 on youtube.The bmw 3 can't handle the course and the engine broke down.

[@cmclayton1986]

I just LOVE how she said " gutsy engine" lol

[@insidertrading1]

You missed one key factor, for which I chose the M over E and 5: stellar durability/reliability.

[@mikeschaner5853]

Can't like a vid when they start off saying the infiniti has a chevy engine...

[@sanjeevsharma3804]

infiniti is answer to bmw and lexus to mercedes.

[@kyleport101]

@heartboy86 I can automatically name industry first innovations on other manufacturers, that doesn't make Cadillac the class leader. Infiniti was the first to have a rear view camera, lane departure prevention, rear sunshade, forest air ventilation system, fastest luxury hybrid , laser guided cruise control. Lexus was the first to parallel self parking system, first to offer a full size hybrid V-8 etc BMW was the first for this Mercedes was the first for that.... blah blah blah

[@adamY2K]

This and Lexus are the best luxury cars out there with completely different styles. The LEXUS is the more mercedes like, Infiniti is more BMW like. Audi is just so boring

[@derdrecksack100]

this car is very beautiful

[@morpheusmann]

THE M LOOKS AND PERFORMS BETTER THAN THE TWO SHE MENTIONED...MORE TECH FOR THE PRICE. I WILL GO WITH THE INFINITI...GUESS BECAUSE IT'S AN AMERICAN CAR LOL...

[@kempowarrior]

I saw this car in person and it was black as well on the road it is definitely a very beautiful car with a lot of presence. This car is just stunning especially from the front view.

[@juukame]

this thing looks so mean and bad ass from the front, definitely a reason to move over when i see that front end in my mirrors

[@AdrianC12345]

This thing has a WAY nicer interior than both the 5 series and most defanatly the E-Class. But the 5 series is nicer to drive, as stated in the film. I wouldn't mind having one though.

[@ambientflier]

Once again, you fail to understand that the 330d is a lot smaller and lighter than the M37. G37 sedan with this same engine is a flat 5.0 second car, and it's STILL bigger than the 3-series!

[@toeboe106]

FOREST-AIR!!!What a joke.If ypu want to smell the leaves on the trees....Open the bloody window!!

[@JonathanRogers1982]

How did you get 28mpg? It gets 17 around town, 23 on the motorway.

[@johnj3577]

Sounds about right, mine has averaged 19.6mpg over the last year, then again I am a bit heavy on the throttle😂

[@usernamefromhell]

I'd take this over the V6 bimmer or merc any day. The Lexus however...

[@pogojayjay7583]

In Los Angeles I never see this car. I have the Q50s which is quicker and handles better. This car really needs to have a V8 or a really torgue V6 bi-turbo to compete.

[@PrecisionNerd]

Pogo JayJay any electronic issues??

[@ourcollectiveinsanity]

this car is not meant to compete with the little q50, it is a full size sedan not a sporty midsize

[@bernardpauling7359]

There is a v8 "m56" it'll blow the doors off that q50

[@Johncarson9113]

@farazl LOL no actually out of experience =) I had a 07 328i and later traded it in for a 2009 G37. The Infiniti is the better performer, sure they may lack a performance devision the way BMW has an ///M series although Infiniti is debuting the IPL series next year.You want true performance out of a BMW you have to opt for an ///M engine and that thousands more. The standard 328i has a lousy underpowered 230HP while the G37 bost 328HP standard and it handles just aswell as BMW (BIG MONEY WASTER)

[@SPMNDK89]

Maybe I just lucked out then according to you. My 04 X5 3.0i has done 163K miles and it's still kicking. Bought it new out San Francisco's dealer and it still gets the job done. Also have an E60 5 series, bought it three and half years ago in SD and put 85K miles on it. I do a ton of driving. And so far, the only thing I replaced, were the rear tires. And I love the inline 6. Either way, we can argue all we want and insult each other's grandmothers but I bet you not every thinks Bimmers suck.

[@ChristewieTV]

The only and I mean ONLY reason I would pick a 535i over this is the choice of a manual transmission. On every other level, the infiniti has the BMW beat

[@blesbaupin]

@CJRamze She always mentions the Golf. Even if she is testing a transatlantic ship, a bicycle or a tractor, she will say “It’s not as sharp mini" and "not as refined as golf" every time.

[@clarda1]

@farazl you are totally forgetting to mention that the 335i has twin turbos and more torque. Infiniti has never needed forced induction to provide good acceleration while BMW relies on it. Sure the car may perform better, But only if its not broken. Ill take reliability and 1mph slower in the 1/4 mile over being broken on the side of the road any day.

[@RealtimeReviews613]

BMW. Mercedes, Audi all have boring squared off interiors, this is where japanese cars like Acura and Infiniti shine. They make great sexy flowing interiors with great materials...bmw merc and audi should learn how to make a interior!

[@Mr330d]

@kyleport101 i don't care if it's the fastest hybrid in the world that information is of no use to me what so ever what you're saying to me is that .1 of a second on a 0-60 attempt is better ?? i'm sure if you really tried a few times you could get 5.8 in a 330d but that's not the point the point is that 0-60 in 5.9 makes it one of the fastest diesels around there is people with 272bhp 330d's getting 0-60 in 5.5 seconds (bigger turbo) so what i'm saying is 5.8 from a v6 petrol isn't great :)

[@Mr330d]

@kyleport101 in what respect is it laughable ?? a standard e46 330d the one i'm talking about has 204bhp from the factory and 302lb-ft torque .. that's a huge amount of torque but i'm talking about a re-mapped 330d with a straight through exhaust which = 246bhp & 384lb-ft torque these are dyno figures 246bhp 330d 0-60 in 5.9 avg mpg = 35-40 hybrid technology is rubbish though so are electric cars do you have 11 hours to charge it up LOL plus bmw made the engine for the 330d infinti use nissan ;)

[@ibrahim01]

a wonderfull car. have drive self in it on work,its drive perfectly and full options and a fanastico motor :D

[@kyleport101]

@heartboy86 I dont dislike Cadillac but I am not for one second going to be a complete idiot and actually think they are better then the Germans let alone its Japanese rivals. Cadillac is hardly ever even mentioned in comparison reviews with Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz, even on youtube. Is it a good affordable luxury car? Of course but its not any where near on par in luxury, refinement, design appeal or driving dynamics with its competitors. Get real, this almost a joke.

[@kyleport101]

@heartboy86 The fact that I am inundated in your comments right now is enough to realize how much of a Caddy Fanboy you are hence your ignorance. For starters, Cadillac was not the first to offer free road side assistance or free loaner cars, that was Infiniti so get your facts straight. And if night vision is your defense for making Cadillac the successor then I might as well glorify Lexus for being able to park its self, big whoop. Cadi is a revolutionary brand, not evolutionary.

[@heartboy86]

@kyleport101 lets see dumbshit i could be wrong,sike they were the first at first wrap-around windshield, the first signal-seeking automotive radio, and the Autronic Eye - the first automatic headlight dimmer. Other innovations were leather upholstery and chrome wire wheels. first automatic climate control system: Comfort Control; Cadillac debuted an industry-first "Twilight Sentinel" system which automatically turned the headlights off and/or on at dusk/sunrise.

[@kyleport101]

@heartboy86 "Please know what what youre talking about before commenting"?? LOL I cant believe you actually think Cadillac "invented" the luxury segment. No offense but if it wasn't for the Cadillac Escalade they wouldn't even be acknowledged in the luxury market. The CTSV is a fast car but Cadillac as a brand itself has always been the underdog in the luxury market. You need a reality check if you actually think Cadillac is a class leader in the luxury market, they aren't even taken seriously.

[@kyleport101]

@heartboy86 The BMW 5 series is still a great car only it isn't the best anymore. However in case you didn't know the 5 series does not compete against the G37 sedan so your comparisons are irrelevant. The BMW 535i competes "head to head" with the Infiniti M37 sedan while the G37 competes with the BMW 3 series. As for cadillac...... yeah I guess they are a reliable affordable luxury brand but you cant really compare the prestige factor of a BMW, Audi, Lexus, Infiniti & Mercedes with a Cadillac.

[@kyleport101]

@Mr330d Infiniti hybrid's rubbish? If this is true then why are companies trying to sign off contracts with Nissan/Infiniti. The M35h is the fastest hybrid in the world not to mention Infiniti is now partners with Mercedes Benz. Both companies intend to swap technology, Infiniti will be using AMG based engines for their new IPL line up and Mercedes will be using some of Infiniti's hybrid/Electric technology. The M37 does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds and btw BMW is also coming out with a 5 series hybrid

[@Johncarson9113]

@SPMNDK89Not offended just informative , you may take it as you like =). Infiniti is new to the global market, Its only been 2 years since they began going international, so the fact that BMW and Audi have a larger market share is of no surprise to me, thanks for stating the obvious. And your opinion although valid to you makes no difference in the rapid deterioration and quality of the BMW, that was the basis for my argument above in the first place.

[@Johncarson9113]

@SPMNDK89 I had a 2007 335i coupe, I now have a 2009 Infiniti G37. Does that give you an answers to your pointless & condescending question? As for cost, vise versa, BMW are more expensive here in the US, that doesn't mean that the car with the higher price tag is the better one let alone the most prestigious, that is what I call being naive, hence the common misconception that the BMW is the more high end alternative when in reality thats just the mind set of Americans.

[@SPMNDK89]

@Johncarson9113 I bet you've never owned a German car in your life, but if you check the numbers Audi and BMW have higher market share than Infiniti and Lexus. So that means plenty of people beg to differ. And you talk as if an Infiniti has never broken down in its life or has had issues. And it makes sense that Infiniti would cost more than Germans in Europe, shipping from Japan to Europe would be more expensive than shipping within Europe.

[@GoldenGuard33]

@Johncarson9113 this is such a backwards statement. Bmws arent known for their beauty at ALL. in fact, bmws are the ugliest between audi and mercedes. BUT, bmws are the most reliable. Dont you for a second try to tell me they arent, ive owned 4 and each one has been great. I can care less weather any of you agree with me, but ill tell you the truth, because THIS statement by johncarson is very very false. Bmws are cars with soul.

[@farazl]

@Johncarson9113 the point best. The car has 282 HP but outaccelerates all S class, Audi A8's, Lexus, Infinitis even thru the mid 2000's and even when all these cars were putting out about 320-340 HP. BMW claims 0 to 60 in 6.7 seconds while car magazines kept getting 5.9 to 6 seconds. And that is not even its core competency- that would be its M car like handling and braking which only the very latest of the Infinitis and Audis are beginning to match or exceed.

[@Johncarson9113]

@RiiDDiiM If you dont have the money then dont buy one clearly the 5 series and Mercedes E-class are the cheaper alternatives in Europe. Infiniti is superior in terms of performance and reliability, and sure BMW builds great looking cars but thats about as far as they go they have a load of problems, are you kidding BMW North america has a class action law suite against them, people who buy BMWs enjoy them 2-3 years and then they go down the crap hole. I prefer japenese luxury not german luxury.

[@Johncarson9113]

@nobinobiii Go on the Nissan Japan website and see for your self, I dont make this stuff up. They have their own Premium factory which in other words are Nissans luxury devision which consist of cars like the M37 (Fuga) G37(skyline coupe and sedan) EX35 (skyline crossover) & the Nissan 370Z which is labled a nissan here in the states aswell. The Premium factory is aimed toward another target market of consumers in Nissan japan, the surley dont aim a Fuga to a peroson in search of a Nissan Latio.

[@clarda1]

Not as biased as the other European reviews ive seen! I beg to differ about it being less competitive than the bimmer and the merc. Aslo there is a M56! which is much faster than the M37... Which stands for 3.7Liter.. not 3.6 vicki!

[@heartboy86]

@kyleport101 your comment makes no sense at all,first caddy has a higher quality than bmw,merc and especially audi,second you heard of the cts-v right and third i know you heard of the new xts thats coming out in 13 i believe,looks like you need to do some research bud and caddy invented the term luxury car,them and dusengburg

[@2Kriss2Kross]

@alexcheetah79 Audi's are beautiful cars but I think their overall design language is being played out too much on too many models and they're all beginning to look the same, and not to mention that looks are in the eye of the beholder. What looks good to us might not for another.

[@2Kriss2Kross]

I'd take a Japanese luxury car than a German one any day. They're just as luxurious in my opinion and more reliable. They're also cheaper to buy, own, and repair while German cars cost you an arm and a leg. German cars overrated and I know too many people with problems with them.

[@farazl]

@Johncarson9113 LOLL....infiniti better performer than BMW? where do you get your comparisons from?? the infiniti brochure?? only thing Infiniti has over BMW is that its less expensive to maintain...but thats only because parts are cheaper since a lot of componentry is shared with mass market Nissans.

[@chitpaul]

@RiiDDiiM Japanese... part of Nissan.....the up market sector like Lexus is to Toyota... just that it's been available in th US for ages.. only just breaking to the European market ... mostly due t the great German cars having the market over here for so long.

[@blizzard242]

@JimmyChannel1 I know that this car is a Nissan, I was replying to a post about a mustang and a Cadillac. I said I would rather have a BMW M3 instead of the M5. Then @dankebuddha asserted that those two cars are faster. Then I said they may be faster, but American cars can not corner.

[@DavidStanleymusic]

what can best it ,Reliability best ,crash safety testing best,power best,technology best, those steeped brands like BMW and Mercedes are not reliable they are more a liability compared to this.

[@AdrianC12345]

@dankebuddha M3 get beaten by a Mustang? Ha!! Can't handel to save its life. And the M5 is already 5 years old, of course it's gonna get beaten by something newer and with 50 extra hp and it's only 1 or 2 seconds faster than the M5 at that!!!

[@AdrianC12345]

@Bravo21 5 Series Touring wasn't popular in the states. Seems like only Volvo can pull off the wagon thing. But I wish Americans liked wagons more than stupid SUVs.

[@SPMNDK89]

@Johncarson9113 Either way cars aren't supposed to last forever. Eventually a car will break down no matter what brand, you just hope later rather than sooner.

[@Johncarson9113]

@nobinobiii How about you just read this article its called ..."Nissans "Premium Factory Replaces Infiniti Brand in Japan"... Just google it if youd like. =)

[@SpanningTreeProtocol]

Fuck those cars are so inexpensive over there OMG OMG. Here for £21000 you would get a basic Punto. An Infinity would vost something like £60000 :-(

[@soiceyboy33]

How does this compete with a 5series or Eclass??......It clearly blows them out the water ....its more in a league of its own

[@totwiedisco]

@FuriousPumpkin: I guess British and American miles aren't the same. But since I'm German I'm not sure... Switch to the metric system! ;)
