First Impressions: 2008 Infiniti G37
Last week, the crew from Cars.com got to take a spin in a number of new cars from a variety of automakers. With full reviews in the works for most of them, we figured we?d all give our first impressions of some of the more notable cars on hand.
- This was actually the first car I took out in the morning, and I thought I had made a score by grabbing the hot coupe before anyone else. I found the looks of the new G coupe to be subtle but still attractive; the inside was just as nice as the G35 sedan, and I figured the drive would be much more thrilling. Instead, while the G37 is a capable coupe with a smooth shifter and light clutch, it didn?t throw me back in the seat from a stop as much as I had expected, nor did it carve corners energetically. In a car landscape with so many great performers, I?m not sure I?d settle for above-average. ? David Thomas, KickingTires editor
- This was a marked improvement over the G35 I'd driven before, but still not quite right. The clutch and gearshift worked better ? they actually felt like they were connected to the car and not a computer ? and the engine had nice pull in a variety of gears. Still, it just didn't wow me. If it's meant to compete with BMW, it's got a ways to go in the driving experience category. The interior was nice, though. ? William Jackson, Buying Guides editor
- I?m with the guys on the acceleration aspect. I, too, like the shifter and clutch, but the new engine isn?t doing Infiniti or its drivers any favors. There?s more power and torque than in the 2007, but the torque peak is now way up at 5,200 rpm, and you can tell. Americans want their oomph right off the line, and that?s why we prefer the BMW 335i (who thought we?d ever say this about a turbocharged engine?). The G is at least better than the BMW 328, where the oomph never comes. I thought the S version would have better balance and grip, but it?s hard to tell from a brief ride. ? Joe Wiesenfelder, senior editor
- I?m the odd one out ? I found acceleration aplenty, with enough torque as low as 2,800 rpm or so. Above that the engine pulls strong, and Infiniti seems to have dealt with the sedan?s annoying grunching noise when you push the clutch in. Compact sport sedans have always been about juicing a high-tech V-6 for all it?s worth, and the 335i breaks all the rules ? which, strangely enough, the old 330i exemplified. The G37 doesn?t scoot as quickly off the line as the turbocharged Bimmer, but there?s still plenty of fun to be had. On a separate note, the front seats have a one-touch button near the head restraint that motors them forward for backseat access. Another push of the button moves them back to the original position on the driver?s side and a default position on the passenger?s. Almost perfect. ? Kelsey Mays, Cars.com reviewer

Channel Sales Teams Driving Sales with Different Sales Strategy
In order to grow market share, Brand Owners must understand the market in which they compete, and design features in their product that will be accepted by the market. We all know that sales and production, to say nothing of sales and design, seldom find themselves on the same page. This is even more difficult when the sales channel includes Value Added Resellers, or VARs. Brand Owners rely on these sales channels to drive revenue, but often times they provide limited support to their channel partners sales teams. This is particularly true when Brand Owner has both direct sales and channel sales. One VAR sales manager summed it up to me when he described the type of support that his Brand Owner provided his sales team. “Some brochures, a map with colored states on it, and a quota.” If Brand Owners could provide some tools to their sales channel they would drive value for the end customer, market share for themselves and a richer sales environment for the channel partner. One way Brand Owners can accomplish this is to train their channel sales organizations to be more effective. The Wall Street Selling Methodology™ will help their channel partners to follow a proven process that will give them the best chance to win deals. This methodology focuses on driving sales to the C-Level, or the highest levels of the prospects organization. The only way to do this is to think like the CEO’s that the sales teams are calling on. This unique sales process is best outlined in the book, Think Like a CEO. According to the author, Mark Kuta, this methodology allows the VAR sales teams to position their solution in a more strategic way, while increasing both average selling prices (ASP’s) and margins. The thing that makes this methodology different is that rather than re hash longs standing sales techniques that may have changed names over the years, it is based on financial measures that the sales team uses to identify their prospects Profit Strategies. Honing in on these strategies and tying their solutions value proposition to these will get the project moving not just from the senior level executives, but throughout the organization. As Tom Clevinger, General Manager, PACCAR Parts Europe states, “If you are looking for a selling advantage over your competition, you’ve just found it. Read this book, follow Mark’s advice, and you’ll have the edge in closing any deal.” The Wall Street Selling Methodology™ has been proven in many different industries. As the author states, “While your customer might not be a Boeing, you can bet they are focused on the same results as Boeing’s CEO.” The tools outlined in this book should allow channel partners to drive significant revenue. Brand Owners, from their end, should be focused on providing their VAR’s with real value. Sending each of their channel sales teams a copy of Think Like a CEO is an excellent way to begin increasing profitability for the entire supply chain.

Florida High Court Scolds Judge for His Opinion's 'Personal Attack' on Colleague
In a first-of-its-kind reprimand, the Florida Supreme Court scolded a judge Tuesday for a "personal attack" and "unsubstantiated accusations" he made against a colleague in a written opinion. Judge Michael Allen stood before the court and listened to a 10-minute lecture from the court's chief justice for his comments in the 2006 opinion, which accused another appellate judge of writing a dissent in a bribery case for "payback," but he made no comment.
