I've toyed with buying the Sedan because the AWD is an available option, but I always liked the coupe so much more. I'm hoping / praying that this is an option on the new model. If anybody can confirm or deny I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!
OK.. a little birdy whispered in my ear....

The reason that the coupe release was delayed from April to August;
was....(drum roll pleaase) .... to buy more time for AWD

If my little bird is right, the new coupe will come with an AWD option.

That would be sick! I hope the new engine will be able to sustain modding for it

I think that it would be a smart market strategy for Infinity to offer an AWD Coupe. Nissan/Infiniti has the parts. I am not sure why BMW did not put it on the 335i, but the 328xi is a good start. I have been calling for them to release this for years now. More exciting news is an Audi A5 coupe, which is way over due in my opinion. Audi bring back the Coupe, Please. It was the best street car they ever made. RS6 is a close second in my book. Infiniti will lose some of its market share if it does not offer AWD. So many people bought the AWD Sedan, it just shows demand for AWD is strong.

I was wondering when you were going to spill the beans.

Since my little bird was singing the same tune I would have to think that it's a pretty good likelihood.

If it's true.... I hope they do a good job of keeping it out of the clouds.

I knew it was either that or price point you were referring to.

Yeah, we're looking for traction & handling and not off road ground clearance.

You're right on the price point as well......
Canadian pricing for the M6 Sport
M6 Sport Base = $50,600
Navi = $2,950
AWD = $3,000 (?)
We could be looking at $56,500 (CDN) or so....

I think your estimate is close to the mark. I was thinking the exact same. Can't see how it would be much less.

The next consideration beyond AWD and price is ensuring AT & 6mt.
