There are few things in life more exciting than driving a finely crafted luxury automobile. Unfortunately most luxury cars are priced out of reach for the average American. Luckily Infiniti is making luxury autos more accessible to the average consumer with the G25 model.  This model offers the same deluxe features as the other subjects in the Infiniti lineup but with a less amount of horsepower.

Most of us don’t require a high performance car, we simply need a comfortable luxury car to take us to and from work and perhaps grocery shopping afterwards. For these purposes, the G25 fits the bill perfectly.  The engine is a 6 cylinder 2.5 Liter with 218 hp and 187 lb feet of torque.  It comes with a 7-speed automatic transmission. If you absolutely require a manual transmission then you will need to shell out additional dough for the G37.

Enjoy the taste of the finer things in life with sweet touches such as exquisite aluminum trim inside the cabin, a power adjustable driver seat with back support, the ability to start the engine without a key, seventeen inch wheels constructed out of alloy, comfortable seats crafted out of opulent leather and an automatic climate control system.  In terms of speed, the G25 travels from 0-60 in only 7.2 seconds which isn’t too shabby at all. If you select the Journey trim at an additional cost and you receive a rearview camera, compatibility with USB devices, a climate control system, heated seats and heated mirrors.

Infiniti engineers have included all of the latest safety features in order to maximize passenger protection. State of the art systems include an advanced  air bag system, active head restraints and a four-wheel anti-lock brake system. The seatbelts feature pretensioners which tighten up for extra protection during an impending impact.  A reinforced passenger compartment and front and rear crumple zones should provide added piece of mind. A tire pressure monitoring system is also in place which lets you know when your tire pressure needs to be corrected a safe and optimal driving experience.

From reading different sources online, it appears that Infiniti designed the G25 after thorough consumer research in order to meet the demands of female drivers who were apparently scared off by the G37’s explosive horsepower. As a woman I can’t say that I believe that for one second since I personally love expensive fast cars with tons of power.  I don’t think that the G25 is a “woman’s car” at all, I feel that it is simply an entry level luxury car which would great for anyone who wants an upscale vehicle without paying a huge sum of money.  It would be perfect for someone who just graduated college as an everyday commuter. Pricing starts at around the $32k range and may vary depending on the trim and options selected.

As the name suggests the new Genesis reflects the Hyundai evolution. Over the last two decades Hyundai has made continuous improvements, added innovative engineering and truly listened to what their customers want.  Today the Hyundai line is synonymous with affordable quality and reliability.  Safety is a key element as well, the Genesis also earned the highest 5 star safety rating from the NHTSA this year.

But don’t mistake the Genesis for just another well made sedan.  This baby can hold its own against racing legends such as BMW and the Porsche Boxter with 290 horsepower, V-6 and 0 to 60mph in 5.7 seconds. Innovative technologies such as five-link front and rear suspension and adaptive front lighting (AFLS) which matches the vehicle’s turning angle for the best possible visibility, further enhance the driving experience. The ultra comfortable interior has features such as a heated and cooled driver’s seat, and a Lexicon Discrete 7.1 surround sound system previously reserved for Rolls Royce owners.

Remove the Hyundai badge and the Genesis sedan could easily be mistaken for a luxury vehicle with a price tag in the $40,000 to $50,000 range.  But as always, the Hyundai price point is palatable and realistic. A breath of fresh air in the current economy.  The base price for the 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan is around $33,000.  For around $36,000 the vehicle comes with upgraded wheels, leather trim and a sunroof.
