I bet you he didn't get an Infinity and beyond at all.
Probably wishes he did and just got a Nissin instead. Probably a SE-R Sentra or Lief.

Oh wow. Another one for the fold...

... just wondering why ggesq are losing their time here when ggesq interest is clearly elsewhere. IMO, ggesq should be no longer be mods (too many of them anyway). It ONLY contributes to define '"Acurabash-zine.com", want it or not.

Nice car. That's the one that started bringing me back around to Nissan. I briefly considered one before getting the wagon.

Nice color too!

Not really. Even if Acura had a competitive line up it doesn't hurt to jump around if something else suits your fancy. What's sad are brand loyalists not willing to try something new and different because they HAVE to own xyz brand.

Maybe you weren't aware of everything that happened from 2009 and on. Acura has nothing that grabs the attention to consumers. Oh wait they do...They have the RDX Elite and the RLX with special tires which allowed the vehicle to reach 190 mph safely.

I wanted to like the TLX ASPEC SHAWD but the test drive had me underwhelmed and the way all the different salesman across the state (I was obtaining prices from all over FloriDUH) were acting as if they had the gold standard of cars on their lots and not budging on pricing and/ or giving ridiculous offers sealed the deal for me leaving the brand- that and driving the competition- totally blew the TLX out of the water. Granted the MSRP's were higher but when it came down to actual numbers, the RS 400 IMHO is a fantastic upgrade to my beloved 3G.

Side note- I attempted to shop the Type R Civic but the local dealers were adding a 20k markup. Ya...no.

Is the RS400 RWD or AWD?

If it is AWD, how does Infiniti's AWD system stack up against SH-AWD?

far superior to SH, unless of course you have upgraded the tires.

It comes in both. Infiniti's AWD is basically RWD that can shift up to 50% to the front. It isn't a full torque vectoring system like the SH-AWD.
