So the new Infiniti G37 Coupe is out, and it looks like a new trend is being set and the leaders are the BMW and Infiniti - Don’t be mistaken - The trend is not a good one. They are throwing out the Good looking models and introducing worse looking models. The cars themselves may perform really well but on the outside, they look ugly - to me at least !

I loved the ancestor - the Infiniti G35 ! The new G37 looks more Toyota-ish or Hyundai-ish and I am not a big fan of Toyota nor am I a fan of Hyundai. My first impression of the new G37 is not a very good one. I really like the older model much better than the new one. I think Nissan/Infiniti is using the older G35 model as the new Coupe for Nissan and introducing this new model of the G37 replacing the old one. I had heard rumours of this, but now it looks like it is for real - That sucks ! I feel bad for all you faithful Infiniti owners/to-be-owners out there. If you are looking to buy a G35 I would really get my hands on one of the previous models before the dealers run out of those !

My brother had a 1997 BMW M3 (manual) and that was the first car that I drove in the US. Driving that car was awesome - the feeling of power ! That was the E36 model - At 4 door 240 bhp that car would rip through ! Sad to say though that he had to sell that car to get an SUV when Rhea (his daughter) was born. I tried hard to convince him to not sell that car - but that was not practical. Before he sold the car - I did get some good shots of the car. I took a panorama (hahahaha - yes yet another panorama) of the inside of the car - pretty smooth ha? Here is the shot that I am talking about :

I also love the E46 model as well - In fact, overall I think the E46 BMW M3 looks and performs much better than most of the cars that I have ever sat in. I sat in one of the BMW M3 (E46 model) and that ride was sweet ! The acceleration was absolutely thrilling !

Here is a review of the BMW M3 from Jeremy Clarkson who hosts the show ‘Top Gear’ on BBC. I like one of the quotes he make in this video about the engine - “But under here - you will find the heart of medieval manx dog !”. The car featured in this video though is a special edition !

And now….

The new BMW M3 - which I really do not like that much. It looks like the new 3-series - What a let down ! I expected sooo much more from BMW and the M3 ! I think a lot of BMW M3 fans will be disappointed with the new BMW M3 - though the real enthusiasts will definitely buy it ! The car has the power - 420 bhp, but it surely doesn’t have that look that the E36 or the E46 has !
