All G37s use a three-piece power hardtop that retracts into the trunk area. Base convertibles come with a seven-speed automatic transmission and leather seats. As a testament to the G37’s credentials for sport enthusiasts, Sport trims add a six-speed manual transmission, just like the sedan and coupe. Also included on Sports are sport-tuned steering, larger brakes and 19-inch wheels.
The G37’s optional equipment is tailored to the convertible experience. An available Premium Package — $3,250 on base models and $3,050 on Sport trims — includes an active climate control system that adjusts fan speed according to the top’s position and the vehicle’s speed. Also included in the package is a Bose sound system that features speakers in the headrest to match sound levels in an open-air cabin.
The G37 convertible is priced roughly in the middle of competing hardtop convertibles like the BMW 3 Series, Lexus IS 250C and IS 350C, and the Volvo C70.
2010 Lexus IS 250C — $38,490
2009 Volvo C70 — $39,800
