2011 Infiniti EX: New Pricing, Added Content and 7-Speed Automatic

Infiniti has rolled out the revised 2011 EX that is on sale now at the firm's dealerships across the U.S. Pricing (not including destination and handling charges) for the EX, which is offered exclusively with a 297-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine, starts at $34,150 for the entry level RWD model and tops out at $37,750 for the Journey with all-wheel drive.
The most important update for the new model year is the introduction of a new and standard 7-speed automatic transmission that replaces a five-speed automatic version. Furthermore, there's a new white color scheme for the gauges and LCD instrument display while all models come equipped with standard 18-inch alloy wheels (previously 17-inch) and Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control (previously on Journey models only).
Other changes for 2011 include the introduction of three new exterior colors, the availability of Infiniti's advanced Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system, a revised Premium Package that combines previous Bose and Around View Monitor Packages and the renaming of the Premium Package to Deluxe Touring Package, which now also offers the option of 19-inch wheels.

Chevy Camaro

Speaking of classic muscle the Chevy Camaro comes in at number 6 just ahead of the Challenger. Part of the reason for the Camaro’s edging out the Challenger is price (Chevy intends to make the Camaro comparable in price with the Ford Mustang… although I am not sure which variation of the Mustang they are targeting) and part of the reason is I just favor the design of the Camaro. The new Camaro not only takes from the classic lines of the 68 Camaro model, but in part provides a more interesting modernization of its classic heritage. Expect GM boys to gobble up the Camaro as fast as GM can build them.

Number 1: Nissan GT-R

The new Nissan GT-R is one of the most technologically advanced sports cars to hit the general market. Some have compared driving it on the streets/track to driving it in a video game (GranTurismo). While it may feel as though the car drives itself at times and provide less Drivers-Response than a BMW or Porsche, the GT-R is still the most exciting car coming out in 2008 (says me). Pushing out 480-hp and 430-torque and sporting AWD the Nissan GT-R is a true bargain of a supercar starting at $69,850. Plus, Nissan shut down much of their racing investments for 2008 so that they could focus their full attention to supporting and training for the maintenance of their most exquisite sports car. Thus, the Nissan GT-R makes my Number 1 of the Top 10 Most Lustable New Cars for the 2008-09 model years.

With all that said, I do fully recognize and contend that nearly all Top 10 lists are subjective and there-by leave myself room to alter or amend this list at my own discretion. The reason being as with many car buyers such lists are sure to change as other models and concepts reach production and other interests or desires gain precedence. Maybe next week the BMW 135 will be Number 1.
So, since all references here are subjective and influenced by opinion we want to know what YOUR Top 10 list would contain. Would you have a different Number 1? What cars would you omit or add? Leave us your list or changes in the comments section and let us see what new cars excite you.
