Grew up in Maine, school in upstate NY, and I would never go rwd. Ever. Have no experience in a rwd g, but would never recommend it to anyone in snow-country. They make an awd, hold-out and find one. It'll be worth it, and you won't have to leave "plenty of room for braking" or be so overly cautious.
They added the sport pack to the x in 2009.

I have an 2009 G37x with all options except tech that I was thinking about getting rid of. 21k miles, sport bumper and flawless. PM me if interested, I'm on the fence about it I love it and have had no problems but thinking about getting a bike and something more economical.

I've been keeping my eye out for a 2008 or 2009 G37x coupe for a few weeks, and there are very few available compared to the number of non-x coupes.
Does anyone have any first hand experience driving the RWD coupe in snow? I live in upstate New York, so we're not talking about few dustings over the winter. We can get several inches and schools won't even be delayed...
I'm planning on getting dedicated winter tires regardless of what I end up with.
I learned to drive in the snow in a RWD car, but experience in a 1979 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Diesel that had a 0-60 time approaching 30 seconds is not remotely comparable...

I live in Massachuestts and have been driving 4w/AWD vehicles for the past dozen years or so. I live in a mill city where many of the locals do not have proper cars or tires for winter conditions. The biggest frustration after a storm is not making my way through the snow, it is trying to get by them as they get stuck going up hills or get caught in ruts and snowbanks. The fact that I could get an AWD version of the G helped tip the balance in my purchasing decision. Never had a problem running all seasons on my Highlander. This winter will tell whether the Sport Maxx's will be keepers.
