Well it seems that it's all but confirmed that we'll be getting an AWD G37 coupe in the fall.....question is, will it be available with a manual?"Infiniti just released the 2009 G37 Coupe Ordering Guide. It includes the following:
Models
¡ G37x AWD Coupe
Mechanical
¡ Intelligent All-Wheel Drive ¡ Electronically controlled 7-speed automatic transmission with Adaptive Shift Control and manual shift mode with Downshift Rev Matching
Exterior
¡ Scratch Shield paint
Interior
¡ Dial-type seat heater switches
Color and Trim
¡ Add Moonlight White (QAA) ¡ Delete Ivory Pearl (QX1) ¡ Washi-finish trim replaces aluminum trim for driver and passenger interior door pull handles (does not apply for vehicles with African rosewood interior trim)
Convenience
¡ Power door locks with automatic locking"

no manual? no go
looks nice though

Make it in a manual and I'd think about it. 35K base for the current one. AWD is 2500 for the current G35 Sedan but no Manual option.

Nothing sounds better than Acura's Super Duper Handling All wheel drive.

I'm willing to bet that a manual is coming, but they're waiting wither till the refresh or just as a added model to revitalize the line when it approaches it's end of life cycle.

how much weight will this add?
paying anything to roll the dice just one more time

200lbs give or take...so a 4000 lbs G37, as if it didn't weigh enough.My 2 cents, why NOT offer it, especially since the G35 sedan has it. If anything Audi should worry some with the A5/S5.
Infiniti now has a very vast AWD lineup. Japanese Audi?
EX CUV Hatchback thing
G35x sedan
G37x coupe
M35x and the V-8 M45x
FX has AWD avail
QX is only AWDSo wow, their entire lineup now has it as an option.
I come to TCL for all my auto, dating and financial advice.

based on looks and driving similar audi's and infiniti's i'd still take the A5 over a G37x coupe. course if i were deciding i'd need to drive both but i would go in with a bias to the audi.

I'd rather have the rwd 6-speed coupe.

I have a friend who's aunt wanted to buy a G37 coupe but was very uncertain because it's RWD only.....I delivered this news to her this morning and now she's exstatic .......living in Canada has it's drawbacks...automotivly speaking ofcourse.

Or 3 midget hookers. Get your moneys worth man.
So is AWD automatic an attempt to keep this guy from hitting the crubs while blogging about slaying skanks on his sidekick 3?
#18
another in the long line of cars available with EITHER AWD or a manual, but not both....

Not really. Audi is FWD chassis converted to AWD.

This should have a manual...Infiniti's always offered that before. It would seem to be a point of pride for them.
#24
About time. This is what many Infiniti fans have been waiting for, especially the ones in Canada.

i am seriously repulsed by that pic.

I think I heard a huge cheer from the Jersey Guidos when this was announced. Huge 2" snowstorms there you know.

Oops, I didn't know that. Being in Texas I have to admit I gloss over any discussion of AWD. I do know they're fans of manuals unlike Lexus.

4000 lbs....around 300hp....awd.Reminds me of the 3000GT VR-4

I think that's one handsome looking car. It is probably still going to look good in 10 years.

Which pretty much puts it into super car territory.

VR-4 was FWD biased.

Do people like this guy (and a few others I've seen here in the CL) actually exist, in real life, and these guys actually take themselves seriously?
Sorry to go OT, but I just dont get it.
