It looks like the all wheel drive is only available with automatic. Guess I'm not missing out since I wanted the 6 speed. I feel bad for the 5at guys as I would have expected Infiniti not to change much from the introductory year especially the transmission.

Yeah I don't really think there is much of a difference with the dials for seat heaters. Kind of a useless attention to detail item for the perception of luxury. I am sure most like me are not losing sleep over not having a dial. As far as the 7AT, it's more for fuel economy than anything. It will add bit a weight and 2 extra cogs but the 5 AT will still be a bit quicker as it will stay in the power band longer ( if you drive it right). Top speed will be bit higher as well. I had a AWD VW toaureg with a 6AT and that thing was hunting all the time for the right gear. Imagine having to paddle 7 gears vs 5. I like what I have. A 6Mt is good though, if i wasn't married. Damn wife........

No. It's due to the G37 sedan coming with 17's stock and then the 18's with the G37x AWD w/ Sport package being able to use a 18" all season tire. If you have a G37x coupe w/ the 19"s -- the all season tire on that won'twork as well as the OEM 18"s with AST.

G37x Coupe - Sport Brakes?
I have an '04 coupe 6mt and plan to replace it w/'09 G37x in the Spring...had my fill of separate snows. Are the larger brakes available on the x? Imo the concour's shots of the grey 37x are a little underwhelming with what looks to be a fairly bland wheel/brake set-up....waters down the car's aesthetic qualities. Appreciate your thoughts.
