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.

* 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 )

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

my shipping company is saving me a lot of open spaces for august -- it's going to be fun shipping these cars cross country.
one of the first ones are probably going out to vstrizheus
