and it's there for guys to claim "I have a Sport", haha. But you still have a parking brake pedal instead of a lever and no clutch pedal.....

 

i dont really like the new all wheel drive model..

 

Me neither. Test drove one today. If it had a Sports package availability, and I lowered it about 2 inches THEN maybe...

 

The reason they did not make it as low as the regular was that all-wheel drive needs the ground clearance. The two inches goes far when there is snow involved. Not everyone want nor needs all-wheel drive. Enjoy the regular and have fun, this is a ggggrrrrreeaatttt car either way. The rest is opinion.

 

I agree. I had the 08 Journey and now have the 09 X. They are both great cars. But if you live in an area without snow, there may not be much if any need for the awd.

 

According to Infiniti specs, the AWD is only .6" taller than the RWD

 

I haven't really paid any attention to the specs, but I can tell you from driving both, the AWD feels like I got a lot of oversteer. Also, the Ebach Pro Kit is different for the AWD. You get like almost a 2 inch whereas the RWD is like 1.5 or so. But the AWD felt different, but that could be due to many things. I did get the Ebach Pro Kit for my AWD and I could not believe what a difference it made. Made the car drive so much better it hurts, LOL!

 

As far as I know, they do make a sports package available. But it drives so much better dropped.

 

i believe the AWD system is the same as in the GT-R. while you cant powerslide in the X, you can claw your way through rain or snow.

and the AWD system in the Infiniti is better than BMW, and im sure the G37X Coupe can outrun the 335xi Coupe.

im biased cuz i ordered a X Coupe.

 

Hey for some reason I can't seem to get onto the link. Help a brother out!!!

 

Plenty of reason for AWD if you intend to get it to the track and autocross-

 

I'm bring this post back to life. I clicked the link for the ordering guide, but it comes up "not found". Can anybody reposted the link?

Thanks

Because this thread is about ordering 2009 models and its now late 2012? Maybe that's why the link is dead. Just a guess...
