New G Owner

Hi all,
I am a new owner of a 2010 G37 base model. I currently drive a 2008 saab turbo x sport combi, 6 speed. I've had it for 2.5 years, and since I've spent a lot of money modding it. The car is very unreliable, but fun to drive. It's pushing over 350HP.
I need something that is reliable and will release the Saab of daily driver duties. The G37 seems to have very positive reliability reviews.
I wasn't going to spend any money on modding it, but who knows. I like the 19" rim moderate drop look for summer.
Anyway, some pics of my Saab, I am picking up the G37 later on tonight and will post side by side pics then.

Yeah, I've spent $7k in repairs since November last year on the Saab. The XWD still has a problem....

I have a question, does the base mode G37 have LSD in the rear?

You kept your Saab in excellent condition. How did you manage to keep the car with no swirls?

Thanks, I obsess over cars, mechanically mostly.
The pictures were taken after a 3 step detail job.
Any hoot, just took delivery of the G. I'll post pics soon.

Here we go, next to my wife's civic.




The interior is cream colour, what's the best way to clean it and keep it clean?
I've got two kids...
Are there any covers that look good?

Digging the color. And did you detail your car yourself? If you have any pointers for maintaining a black car, I'm open for any suggestions. lol
