Also; the aritcle said that the G gets a "reskin" for '07. I thought it was going to be a redesign (next gen car).

They have it in the Sedan, the G35x, they already have the system it, plus would make the coupe much more enjoyable in winter

i just wanted AWD on the G35 coupe cause I want the ability to drive my car all year round even in snow and most of the time RWD sucks in the snow. i can't afford to keep the TSX and buy a G35 coupe at the same time. my dad has the G35x sedan and it's hella fast, but i don't like the G35 sedan's looks too much.
That's exactly what Infiniti needs to boost it's image.

Mind you, the car looks like a G35 with bigger wheel wells...so, although it's a nifty in my books, big deal?

I really don't care what it looks like on the outside... Gotta see interior pics... But I guess the interior can't be worst then the one in the current g35...

This has been coming for about as long as the next Supra. I guess all of this sourceing out of parts of the car keeps the cost down - Nissan has been good at that. Note that Cosworth is massaging the existing VQ - not developing something new from scratch.
