Remember that G37 was the sport version.
 
Interestingly Edmunds (via insideline) claims the '07 G35 Sport sedan's db level at 70mph, cruising, was 63.4 (at http://www.insideline.com/infiniti/g35/2007/full-test-2007-infiniti-g35-sport.ht- - ml)
 
Everything else being equal, no way can the G35 run quieter than the G37 cruising at 70mph (assuming an AT) since the G37 runs at lower RPM at that speed.
 
But that's what happens when you have different reviewers (and most likely different roads). That's what I like about Consumer Reports. They purchase their cars anonymously from dealers and run the cars on the same exact course.
 
There's been discussion of db levels on these threads before. There's different kinds of noise... road, wind, tire, etc. Different noises can affect/bother people differently. Measuring db levels is a good guideline, but it has its limits.
 
Have you driven the Genesis?

I've sat in them a few times trying to like it but something about it leaves me wanting more. Maybe a tad boring.

"Maybe a tad boring."
*LOL*
 
That was my impression too when I test drove it. I'm not knocking the car. I was looking for something more sporty.

Read a few pro reviews about either engine or road noise. Is it as bad as the pro reviewers say?
It depends on you, for me the noise is perfect, but I love to be "connected" to the road and car. I hate "silent" cars:)

Been there done that. I'm 57 and want a bit more quiet in the car now from the road noise and engine at least. I do want to here that pipe note. I think I might rent a 37 from Hertz for a day to see if it's for me.

I've had by G37S for a couple of weeks now, and to my senses it's very quiet. The 18" low profile tires do seem to make a bit of a very, VERY muted roar (roar is an exaggeration) at highway speeds, but it doesn't bother me a bit. I enjoy being able to hear a little bit of the road at highway speeds - part of the feedback I like in a car. I was not looking for, nor expecting a living room-on-wheels.
 
If that's what you want, buy a Lexus or a Caddy.

If that's what you want, buy a Lexus or a Caddy. To much $$$$ and the Lexus GS is old looking and the Cad is US junk.

"I think I might rent a 37 from Hertz for a day to see if it's for me."
Assuming you rent a G with 17" wheels, I'll be very surprised if you think it's noisy... because it isn't. I doubt the 18" wheels are that "noisy" either. You'll certainly feel the road a bit more in a G than a car with a cushier suspension, but based on your preferences and budget the G seems like the car for you (assuming you're interested in a new car, as opposed to used).
 
Who knows, you might find some '08, new G's in stock. I would imagine you could get a decent deal on those if there are any still around.

It looks that way. I've got 40K cash to spend.
