G37 X in the snow?

How has the G37 X been doing in the snow? Has the Atessa - ets system been a good match? Any comments from anyone?

I have the G37x coupe and it is AMAZING in the snow. Other cars will be sliding all over the road and meanwhile the G effortlessly glides across. You won't regret the purchase. Tough to find mods for it at this point, but all in due time

I also have the 37x coupe and it navigated 4" of snow last week like it wasnt even there. If you live in an area with a lot of snow, this is the only choice if you want to drive a g all year.

^^^ so not true. While the AWD is nice and will be better in the snow it is so not a requirment. My RWD dose just fine in the snow.

haha shumby is furious right now

but the AWD on the G is awesome... drove a friends the other day. I still feel I could maintain the same control with a set of decent snow tires and still manage to have more fun...

If you don't want to spend a bunch of extra money on the snow tires, the x works great. Plus it has a snow button that skips first gear and makes it easier to get going. I just came off of a RWD car with Blizzaks and it wasn't bad - but no comparison to the x.

its the tires that gives you traction, without the proper tires, a 10x10 will not help either.

are the tires on the g37x the same 18's that come on the rwd g37 (non-sport)? so they are all season 18's, right?
