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

I hope they come through with it.

I hope they come through with it.

I didn't allow as much as the sedan AWD, since there are a few extra things in the base sedan AWD.
I also didn't allow for $ increase.
AWD could easily be $57,500 (CDN) msrp
& yes Deane.... AWD c/w 6MT please & thank you.

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

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....

First of all the AWD possibility is the best news I have heard in a long time
Does anybody know what the prices are looking like in the US? What's listed above seems extremely expensive!!! Thanks

I would love to get the GT-R but that is WAY out of my price range. Anyway, if someone could put it in simple terms why they think or know why AWD is not an option on the coupe I would love to hear it. (Same thing with BMW's new coupe...If you want the AWD you get stuck with some crappy base engine instead of the twin turbo, which doesn't make any sense if you are spending that type of money for a SPORTS car) If not, thanks for the reply everyone & I will go back to the drawing board again

The idea of a sports car is to maximize power transmission to the tires.

Since Infiniti didn't get the GTR....
I wonder if they intend to make the coupe their own version of the GTR.
...higher end finish & apointments...
& likely lower powered, NA 3.7 instead of TT ???

An NA 3.7 would be a nice gift too.
