I noticed an empty space in our relay box labeled for the front headlamp wipers. I also noticed one of the members' rides with the sensors in the front bumper; I forget his name but it's the guy with the VR in Kuwait.
I'm almost positive that in some of the very early pre release marketing material for the G I saw rain sensing wipers listed as a feature but can't find it now.
It's a bit odd to me what Nissan/infiniti markets things on their vehicles sometimes. My brother in law's Titan has the parking sensors and it's about 2 or 3 years old and our '08 Infiniti's don't. Doesn't make sense to me.

I think our space in the Middle East is different form the Europe because my car does not have a heated seat and also i don't have headlamp wipers. but our space has more horsepower because it's written in the manual it's 350 HP
It was your car indeed! I wonder where the extra HP is coming from. I would have to guess something in the emisssions system rather than the engine. Can you check to see if your car has the same catalytic converters as the US spec has?

For some reason I like the side indicators, but the front bumper looks sh*t. Is it really that hard to flush-mount parking sensors? Between those and the washers, the face of the car looks like it has a skin disorder.
I beleive that the US new SAE testing method is the reason for the stated 330 HP vs the 350 in the UAE. Thus the car actually has the same HP it's just measured differently over there.

I bought mine in the Middle East (Dubai)
We have much less restrictive smog control on our cars please additional engine/computer tweaks such as a more efficient radiator for extra cooling. The car engine specs here according to Infinity-ME G37s are 350hp (Gross)/333hp (Net) Which according to the dealer is at the wheel. (Unverified by dyno testing).
It's fast too I've clocked 272 KM/H or 170 MPH with no cut-off, however I don't think it can go much faster than that without some mods. Maybe because of gearing.
Options included in my car are:
- Front/Rear P. Sensors
- 4WAS (Standard)
- AT (Standard)
- Full rear spoiler (Zero Lift Spoiler) is Standard
Options omitted:
- Headlight washers
- Heated seats (We really don't need them)
-Technology package is a custom order
- Folding mirrors (I don't thing anyone has them yet, maybe '09?)
So far you can only buy the S model in AT. Journey is not sold here. Stick shift im guessing is a custom order.
