The Euro Advantage over US

Hello All,

A few advantages and disadvantages our fellow European G37 Owners will have over us: (Please note I also included some visual differences that the 09 might include over our 08's) :

Fender has corner lights
Headlight Washers
"Fog Lights" aka DRL or whatever it is- HID's not halogens like ours
310PS (305HP), 350NM of torque (~260lb-ft)
4WAS is available as an option, ONLY on S G37's
FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSORS!!
Automatic Lights AND WIPERS!
AFS is STANDARD
Heated seat ***** are circular ( I believe this is a general 09 feature)


Let me know what you fellas think!


Dave

some of the above will be in the next US version... i.e. seat heater dials instead of switches. 4WAS is currently only available in the S model as well.

I bet parking sensors will be coming here soon as well...

Source? I can't image that they would put HIDs in the fog reflector housing. Unless they have totally different headlights

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.

Or because Europeans in the same business as us makes 55% more than us in the U.S.A., and therefore can afford it.

In the Euro office of my business, the average person with my same job title makes ~$110,000 quid.
