Yeah, time really is flying by. 1,000,000 seconds or so and this will be me. <a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253F partner%253DZSzeb008%255FZN%2526i%253D36%252F36%25 5F1%255F13%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_13.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252F nocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egi f%253Fi%253D36%252F36_1_13/image.gif"></a>

Yeah I think it's just the satelite feed that gets picked up. ....weird
I suspect someone just picked the wrong feed by accident in your area.

Hey Bill, just in case you missed it, you can download Motorweek's episode at the link below. Why wait until next weekend to see it.

Just a question... Its based on performance.

Is is really worth it considering you are getting a mear 8hp/8ft-lb torque over an '05/06 G35? The gadgetry doesn't make me want to get one, but the exterior look of the car is kind of nice, but not much gain on the powerplant. I know they now have dual 'ram air' like intakes to solve the swell issues the previous models have and I don't remember is it all wheel drive now?

Canuck: Thanks for the link!! will watch it later tonight.

Using the "new" SAE methods the difference is 13 hp on 6mt and 31 on the AT. As well the "ram air" affect at 100km/h adds another 3hp.

The "swell' drivel is mostly marketing hype.

I can't answer your question other than to say it has to be more than just a power difference wanting you to switch. It has more power but there are many other improvements with handling, ride, interior refinements and looks.

TNX Shane.....I did watch that link and enjoyed it muchly......You're in for a treat, buddy......

Karim....the new sedan is a great combination of gadgetry and looks.
Improvements abound in the new version from the improved looks of the intereior and exterior, to the vertually rebuilt (read even stronger) engine, to the even more rigid body.

The new sedan has come of age after 4.5 years of production and even held the line on price.
It's evolved into a real beauty

The Sedan comes in 3 versions. The non Sport 2 wheel drive, the Sport 2 wheel drive , and the X: AWD.... -- something there for everyone.

Thanks Colin..

For some reason I recall someone or even reading there was a version AWD and the 6MT??? Now that would be a treat!! But then again my mind has been playing tricks on me lately. I wonder what the '09s would look and feel like. Now that is what I am in for.
