Total agree with Ravens I've said the same thing about the X models . They are not AWD cars they are like he said just a rwd car with " some power kicking to the front sometimes" I wish they made it a true AWD but they decided not to :/ . If you are not aware it's pretty easy to spin th car out in the rain or snow.

The AWD should not light unless you have problems with the AWD. You should see the SLIP light come on when the VDC kicks in (or when it WOULD kick in if you have VDC off).

The other problem, is that there is no rear differential or center locking diff. The car has potential, just infiniti wouldn't allow it. Same thing if they had given it a dual clutch transmission, the fun factor would increase exponentialy.
