Infiniti should of had the 7AT in the first place. They have been using this 5AT for quite some time now.

 

+2 ^^

 

haha was beginning to think i was the only one with this retarded argument

 

Maybe every maufacturer should state their product plans for every car and every option for the next 10 years, so that consumers know "exactly" when to buy...

You buy when you buy with the choices you have at the time. The 7At was probably not released for more then a few reasons that only Infiniti knows. Seriously it doesn't matter...

If everyone waited until the "perfect" combination came around.. then we'd be waiting for ever. I'm sure when the 7AT is released, that there will be some options "a few months away" that the people who bought the 7AT will say "that sucks.. why was that not made aware to me when I bought"..

Hind sight is 20/20 my friends. Never regret your decisions. Make the best of what you have and enjoy.

 

But does it have a proper e-brake yet or are they still forcing us to have a lame-*** foot-activated e-brake the same as the G35 Coupe automatic had?

 

Very true; soon after Infiniti releases the new 7AT you'll have some people complaining about how the G37 doesn't have the dual-clutch setup like the GTR.

For those who already have the G37 with the 5A; enjoy every single mile of it.

 

oh dont get me wrong, I am enjoying every minute of my G, that's for sure. All I said was I was peeved that a 7AT was being rolled out so soon. Which I still think is a bit unheard of. But to each his own...:end:

 

...most likely the same goobers that watered down the NAV & Voice functions were also in charge of getting/deciding on a more current automatic ready. I'm glad I got the 6MT in light of this sort of thing - probably won't help auto's resale for those so inclined...but it's (5AT) still a great car.

 

+1+1+1 ^^^ Goobers for sure!!!! Idiot Nav & Voice systems ppl. They should not be allowed to choose anything at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Everyone has been wanting this 7 speed over the 5 speed, lets just hope it works out for the best. I know a lot of mercedes owners that have the 7 speed, and wish that MB would just go back to a 5 speed.

 

Can you elaborate why Mercedes Owners don't like 7 speed vs the 5 speed

 

indecisive shifting from what i hear, and overall transmission problems being their new technology. But never owning one, I can't really speak from experience.

 

I guess another way to look at it is that this is also something that is "new" in the 2nd year G so people who refuse to buy a first year model because of bugs will have to deal with it in the 09 G. Either way, be it 5AT or 7AT still a fantastic car!

 

The FX in the showroom already has the 7speed. Somebody could go test drive and report back.

 

Which Infiniti dealership already has the 2009 FX in the showroom? AFAIK no of the dealerships in Texas have a 2009 FX available to be tested.....
