2005 Infiniti G35 X rear.jpg

The hot-selling G35 sees a few revisions for its third model year. The formerly uplevel 280-horsepower V6 is now the standard engine; the optional engine now packs 298. And while the power used to be stratified by body style (sedans had 260, coupes had 280), the division now goes by transmission: automatics get 280, sticks get 298. Newly-styled wheels and taillights are visible, and the stereo now plays MP3s. Now that the cloth model G35 has been dropped, a sub-$30,000 Infiniti no longer exists.
