The 2009 Infiniti G37 and 2010 Lexus IS, strive to offer a bit of everything — looks and luxury, windblown performance and modest practicality — for less money than the cheapest Porsche. Both the G37 and IS have retracting metal roofs, and both descend from sport sedans, though Infiniti also offers a coupe that’s the direct basis of this convertible.
If the dilettante Sebring scores a 1 on the serious-convertible spectrum, and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is a perfect 10, give the Lexus a solid 6 and the Infiniti a 7. Unsurprisingly, the Infiniti is more frolicsome while the Lexus presses its brand advantages in luxury and refinement, including a roof that works faster and smoother. But both cars come with compromises, especially the meager top-down trunk space that can leave owners literally holding the bag.
