I hear AWD is coming to the coupes for 2009. Anyone know if this is going to be optional or standard like on the A5?

 

I believe its optional. Its gonna be G37x.

 

optional.

 

Strike 2 for the clueless sales guy on Saturday. Actually there were quite a few things he said that I didn't believe and am finding out are incorrect.

 

G37x will have it as standard. That's only model that comes with AWD.

 

The search tool is your friend.

 

it's like all the other Infiniti's, the "X" model is AWD. The "X" represents AWD.
Therefore it is standard for the X model.

 

maybe sometime they will actually realse the g37x so I can buy one before the 2010's come out

 

The economy blows my friend. They should have been released last month but there are too many '08's sitting on the lots. The '09's are lonely, sitting on some dock, somewhere, yearning to be purchased.

 

The only reason Audi make Quattro standard on some vehicles, is because the majority of their vehicles are front wheel drive based. On a A8 if it were front wheel drive you'd be doing tire spinning anywhere you went. The A5 they wanted a more traditional coupe handling feel, since the A5 is so close to the primarily FWD based A4, they just made the A5 standard with Quattro, the price reflects that though, a 3.2 A5 is somewhat similarily priced to the fully loaded A4 3.2 Quattro, only problem is A5 are in super short supply, while the A4's are plentiful.

 

Just another FYI: the G37x will NOT be offered with the 6MT. The AWD G37 will ONLY be available with the automatic transmission.

 

Aren't they suppose to release a G37xS version with the sport package?

 

It'll happen....most likely in a year or so....
