Seems that Infiniti is going to start selling a 330 Xi / 3.0 Quattro competition later this year.

Just got this by email:

cool! but I want to see AWD on the coupe also!

 

thats pretty awesome how the torque distribution is adjustable.

 

that would be nice

 

I'll care when it's offered in the Coupe. Also I wonder how many problems they will have with the first year of it - or has this crazy high-tech AWD been available in Japan for a few years already to work the bugs out?

 

Think Nissan Skyline.. I'm sure they've got some experience w/ AWD.

 

my comments pertain to this new high-tech AWD which you'd know if you followed the link and read about it.

 

Looks really cool. I like how it's driver adjustable. Would be awesome on the Coupe

 

To any Engineers, I have a question about this AWD system. Since it is adjustable, wouldn't it be more prone to breakdown vs. a full time AWD system.

 

maybe we shouldn't be talking about g35 technology on this website..cause we might offend someone

 

yeah, I just got the e-mail today... seems like it's gonna be a fun car...

 

i still want my g35c to be RWD... #1 i dont wanna waste any MORE $$ on gas .. $40 bux a tank that lasts me 4 days is my Limit already...

2 More fun with RWD.... and 3 i like staggered setupz.

 

One word..... SKYLINE

 

I'm with you on that one. I used to get 25-29 on the CL-S and I only get 24-27 on the G. Not birtching though!

 

Ha We damn near started this website!

Sorry soop!

 

Anyone know how much these are going to be?
Also I 've heard it will only be available with 5AT transmission

 

Kind of a repost..... info was posted over a month ago....

oh jeez, you should help soopa on the search engine adding some keywords to each page

 

ya notice theres no performance lux-coupe out there for under 100k that has awd? if acura made a 2dr tl w/awd, they would get a decent size market IMO

 

I think that is very cool. Wasn't Evo 7's AWD system also adjustable? I think by road condition and type.

 

Yeah but being able to RIPOUT under 1/2 throttle is worth the 1-2mpg cost of admission, if you know what I mean!! And I'm speaking from a Maxima point-of-view, not your more powerful G35C point-of-view.

Peace.

 

i acutally get better miliage with G35C stick than my type S auto...

i had never got anything over 270 with 30 dollars in my CL and i consistantly get over 330-360 with 37 bux in g35C... maybe stick does save more gas...

 

same type of system they've been using on the gtr so while it may be high tech, its not really new ground for nissan.

 

FYI, I'm getting significantly better gas mileage with my Z compared to my CLS. Last fillup for the Z, I got 24.4mpg average where most of the time I was only getting 19-21mpg for the CL.

It's probably partly due to the fact that I loved the pull and sound of VTEC
