Your right, if you want to crawl buy a honda
Learn how to drive and you wont have an issue with a rwd car...it's not our fault that Honda's cant go fast enough to loose control or warrant traction control

Agree with Verbal. Sorry Meth, but I bet S2Ki has more accidents than G35driver. That car needs traction control if it's in the hands of a beginner, more than a G would. But nice try. Maybe suggest a Saturn next time in your point.

If Nissan is behind with VVEL, compared to BMW's Valvetronic, then Honda is far behind with the introduction of AVTEC, as is Toyota with Valvematic.
Honda has announced it’s next generation VTEC engine, the Advanced VTEC engine (AVTEC) which will make it’s debut in a production car within the next three years. Honda’s new Advanced VTEC (AVTEC) engine combines continuously variable valve lift and timing control with the continuously variable phase control of valve timing to achieve a good combination of better performance, fuel economy, and lower emissions. This is an improvement over the i-VTEC system which has preset changeover settings in valve lift - the new AVTEC system can adjust the valve lift continuously.

The new Infiniti Nav kicks major *** all across the field. The new HDD based NAV is so much faster than what the competition offers. I think it's redundant to have 4 different type of input mechanism on the new NAV though. (touch screen, voice, steering wheel control, center console bottons) It's better to have too much than too little. 
The new Infiniti NAV system IMO is better than the Lexus or Acura ones. I agree prior to the G37 though the Infiniti NAV wasn't up to par with the competition. As far as front wheel goes...... hahahahaha, why bother calling the TL/TSX 'sport sedans' if you are going to use front wheel drive platform? It's embarrasing.

FYI I had two G35's and now a TL and a RL. The Navi on my 06 TL is light years better than both my older G35's and I have messed with the one on the new G35 Sedan. It is not better than the Acura NAVI. It is about the same and finally caught up. But Acura Navi still has a benefit. It can be used while driving unlike Infiniti's. The 06 RL is better than our TL. I love the real-time traffic information. Very nice!
BTW, you had the old NAVI system the newer ones from Acura are much better and support the BT and phonebook opens. Still ahead of Infiniti when they implemented it.

I came from an 04 TL and while Acura/Honda navi is good in the industry, the new Infiniti navi is much better. Acura/Honda may have enhanced since my 04 TL, but the current Infiniti navi is simply terrific!
The new Infiniti bluetooth and phonebook setup kicks *ss. The Acuras had no visual display of the phonebook, everything was voice prompted but at least they had voicetags.

I personally don't care if the Acura Navigation is better than the G or vice versa. But let's at least try to keep it real. I have no experience with the Navigation system in the TL, which is why I haven't commented on it.

Are we all spoiled?? Be glad that you have a navigation system of any kind. Period. It's saved my a** more than once. Who cares which system is better so long as they both help you get to point B from A. Good lord.

I never said it was BETTER. As you can see above I said it was equal but the Acura allows you to use it while driving without using voice commands. This is one of the major draw backs that other navi systems have had in reviews.

i think we were all saying that prior to the 07 navi, infiniti was lagging behind the competition. fast forward to now, infiniti has caught up with the competition.
u have to admit, the 05 navi was a pos. hahaha. Super Nintendo interface. 06 wasn't that much better.

^ u still can't use the infiniti navi (even the new one) while driving unless you get the KPTechnologies module and trick the unit, please correct me here if I am wrong but this is what I've noticed when test driving the new sedan.
