Default An AWD G35!!!!

I just got back from a dealership and they had a G35 AWD. I thought maybe the sales men didn't know what he was talking about but then he showed it to me. t seems to have a really kewl AWD drive system that controls it's self for different conditions! He gave me some BS how he can't sell it until Dec 1 and that it will be sold at sticker. I hope this will make lexus make an awd gs

The cars have been shipped to the dealers, but the official release date of the car is December 1. My g/f just picked up a G35 (not AWD) and that's how I know. The cars are just shipped early to be ready in time for the release date, like anything else (software, fireworks, etc). Unfortunately, our exclusive dealer in Hawaii won't be bringing these in, so you won't find them if you visit the islands.

G35 is the Skyline, but the AWD Turbo will be released WORLDWIDE as a 2007 GT-R R35.

I believe the AWD G35 is badged the G35x. I'd consider it, because it's cheaper than a 330xi and more reliable than an A4 Quattro.

I think the AWD G35 is awesome. The AWD system (Attesa I believe) is advanced, and brings both AWD and FR characteristics.

Too bad 1) only automatics, and 2) not on coupe

Any increase on the engine output?
OEM foglights on the front bumper?

The G35 definantly needs foglights on the front bumper. I can't believe they didn't come with that from the get go.
