Why doesn't someone actually give this guy a real answer or help instead of smart *** comments?

Don't be douchebags like the guys at my350z.

Why doesn't the G35 AWD come in 6MT? Honestly I don't know.. Because the AWD only came in the sedan and it was already kind of rare to get the 6MT in the sedan to begin with.. Wasn't high demand probably.. Just my guess.

actually i'm suing them, don't think they want to hear from me. but from a marketing standpoint i think they're missing a piece of the market. personally i think the Gs are almost up to par in terms of performance as many reviews say. just wondering if its ever in their plan to do an awd 6mt combo

I didn't give a real answer because I thought it was pretty obvious that nobody here would have a clue as to why a large auto maker based in Japan would decide to make cars the way they do.

And malagabee, the Acura TL just started coming with a manual in AWD in 2010. Subaru has a manual, but with it you don't get as good an AWD system as with the automatic.

Yeah you are right about the manual didn't come till right about now which I think the G37X comes in 6MT now.

But why are you suing infiniti? Or are you not allowed to talk about it cause your lawyer told you not to?

If youre suing a company what do you care if they arent capturing sales in a specific market.....?

Makes absolutely no sense to me

i just checked infiniti site for 2010 specs, G37x comes with manual sequential shift based on an auto transmission, not real 6MT that comes only on G37 sports RWD still.

FWIW to you G2FlIP4, eventhough I'm suing Infiniti for lemon law, I still have great deal of respect for the G and would consider buying again if they ever make the AWD 6MT combo like the 328xi which I also own. All my cars have been MT and in NJ climate, AWD really helps as we're being pounded by snow right now.

This is something I've long wondered myself. I would love to have the option to purchase AWD + 6MT on the Infiniti. Plenty of competitors have been offering this combination for several years. I am also hoping that the future G37 model also offers the synchro-rev matching transmission that the 370z offers now.

never driven a synchro rev matching car before. . . does it make downshifts smoother or something?

How about proving some useful help or not post at all?.?.?? I am suing infiniti/insurance aswell and I own a G35. Whats your point to that post?

I personally do not know why they have not made it yet. I am assuming other companies have perfected the AWD 6MT and the market is not that large for this kind of car.
