Suspension is noticeable when switching between settings.
The DAS is more refined (General pop didnt mind it, more enthusiast will like it better now).
The Engine, damn. It is very refined and tmaed. It does not feel like it is twin turboed. There is no "boost build up" in the sense that you have to wait for it to spool up. The power is just there and it just doesn't let off. It doesn't feel any faster than the current model, but it is. Now don't go looking for AMG acceleration and brute force, this is not it. Not yet. There is no push you back into your seat force like an EVO or STI. The power is very civil but its is certainly going to put a smile on your face. This thing is waiting to be unleashed via the aftermarket scene.
The 7 speed has been updated. I am no engineer nor am I experienced enough on DCTs to tell you if it is absolutely needed in this power train or not. But I will say this, it did not disappoint and I would not be surprised if this had some mechanical changes along with software. We wont know until we get part numbers and get on on a rack.
End of the day, a Red sport is all I will need from a Stock vehicle that I can DD. I have my bike if I want faster and a Lamborghini fund set up. ( its currently got $5.95). For those that are looking for M3/AMG performance, might want to wait or get one of those. For those that want 340/440/C43/E43/S4/S5 and homebrew mods, strongly consider this and wait for the aftermarket support.

Well played Infiniti. Does anyone know if the engine sound that is pumped through the speakers will change as you select a different drive 'mode'? 
I sure hope so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are the Sedan specs including curb weight. Sedans have always been lighter than the coupes remember.
