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.

The seat heater dials may solve two problems, prevents accidental turn on if leaned on or something drops on the switch and they may provide more adjustability than just low/high. (?)
