Want:

320+ 3.7L Engine
Fitness World Weight Loss Program
Rear View Camera
iPod Integration Port
Cooling Seats
Red Leather Optional
Full Glass Roof

Don't know the point of this thread, but I'll play along. I bet I don't get a single wish come true.

I know AWD is slower due to the weight increase but I think also due to horsepower loss from transferring the power to all 4 wheels.

I want a 3000 lb car. 3500 is way too much for this class a vehicle.

I can live without ipod integration if they would just allow mp3s and other formats on the hard drive and played off of media cards correctly. I don't want to get an iPod. The mp3 implementation on the sedan makes me wonder what kind of morons are designing this car. If they can hose that up so bad I wonder what they did to the rst of the car..

Also I'd like a better manual tranny. The one on the new sedan was just weird.

And I'd like a stiffer suspension.. Hell if GM can do it for the Corvette Infiniti can do it too(ok maybe not). The Vette has a great ride yet is one of the best handling cars in the world.

3.7L and Rear view camera are a given.........

Some stereo predictions:

CF->HDD copy enabled
MP3 CD -> HDD copy enabled
non-instant-switching mp3 track browsing


What i really want to see:
usb port

* No silver rear spoiler
* 19 inch rims on S trim
* Will still be slightly slower than 335i
* Even rougher/stiffer ride (sigh)

What i want:
* hand-pull brake for automatic transmission (not going to happen i know )
* seat vents/cooling in addition to heating
* more low-end/bass for SOW
* update to nav firmware (allow all features during driving) and better management of music
* SIXTH GEAR in auto transmission
* A better ride comfort to road feel compromise (electronic adjustable suspension )
And of course you want all of this with either no or just a modest increase in the MSRP.

The trim stuff means little to me. What is critical to me is the car's performance. So I want at least 330 HP and 290 LB-FT of torque, and an improved tranny. If Infiniti does that, I'll be one of the first in line. Otherwise they can add all the bells and whistles on the list above, and I'll be shopping elsewhere.

AWD is definitely on top of the list.

the car WILL most likely be heavier

the 9.5GB hard drive of course and XM ONLY with Navigation

the seats will probably be HEATED only, i.e. -- '07 G35 Sedan

19" wheels i think will be 7 spoke forged

13.0" brakes front and rear

LOL. I know you've got some pictures lying around somewhere. After all it is getting close to time to lift the embargo. Kenny, you better be right about AWD. That's exactly what I'm looking for.
