That's funny because all I see are AWD 2IS on the road. I hardly see any 350s or 250s RWD. I guess it is all regional. I guess most AWD drivers are not as enthusiastic of their 2IS as the 350 and 250M owners since they are more sporty.

^^ yeah, same here, i've actually never seen a 350 on the road, only the 250awd in my state... when i went down to florida i saw 350's everywhere
yeah, the people with 250awd are probably less enthusastic than the 350's, thats why there are more performance and other upgrades for the 350 imo

I'm one too....I came from a 12yr old maxima 5spd.
IMHO automatics make me feel isolated from driving the car, like the car is driving me instead.
In Maryland I've seen all three models...mostly awd250 though. People here seem to be concerned w/snow.

Is 250 sequential
That's the same conclusion I came to. I don't plan on really using this car for performance competition, while I felt an auto tranny was appropriate for a car emphasizing the amount of luxury that it does. Besides that, I figure I'll be sitting in traffic more often with this vehicle, so theres no real desire to be driving manual in that situation.
On the other hand, I do think a manual option should at least be available for those who bought the sport package, so as to better compete with the 3 series. In combination with better steering feel, I think it would only make sense to mate a manual gearbox to the potent 306hp engine.

If your referring to is250 with auto transmission and steering wheel paddles its correct name is SEQUENTIAL I OWN A 09
Bought in February 95k miles $9999 09 IS 250 SEQUENTIAL. Black interior. I have to take new photos I actual painted my rims black.
