I am a performance freak. the AWD system that they have put on the Sedan is off a car that has a high racing history and is known all around the world as one of the best race cars in the world. the system is called the ATTESA E-TS (All Total Traction Engineering Systerm for All Elctronic Torque Split) taken off the Nissan Skyline GTR series.
So, really the couple is alot more sporty looking,but performance wise the "X" is the way to go. its system is one of the most advanced on earth. You could hug corners better than a WRX (since they were built for Rally, and not track) where as the skyline has FULL race track history.

I am not going to argue with the quality of the GT-R ... it is justifiably acquired a legendary status. In fact, I am saving up already for the 'R35' that is supposedly arriving in 2007!!!
I just hope that they keep it under 70-75K. If I can get Nissan/Infiniti reliability and Porsche TT performance at that price - I'm all over that GT-R.
But have you driven the ATTESA E-TS as implemented on the G35x? And especially, have you driven it
on the edge? I have driven my coupe enough on the edge of performance (done a few spins in my time :22yikes: ) to know it is a different car at the extreme than it is during normal driving.
The G35x is a heavy car - just a few pounds under 3500 pounds. I am sure it will handle like a champ in snow (in fact I know it does!) But are we sure it is a car that will handle a track better than a RWD (and lighter) sedan and coupe?
Just wondering .....
