New Owner G35XS OB/Stone

Moved from a 2006 350Z and from the Z forums. Just picked up my 08 G35XS, OB, Stone interior, and Nav. I went to the dealer to buy a G37S coupe. I wasn't overly impressed with the way the auto shifted, and expected the car to be alot faster. Maybe I would have been more impressed with a 6 speed. Then I drove the G35XS sedan. The rest is history. Man, I love this car. Seems to have much more torque than the coupe at lower RPM. The shifting also seemed to be better. But, this is just my opinion, as I'm sure alot of coupe owners would argue the point. This is definitely a 4-door sports car. The rear camera is also a nice "bonus" with the Nav. Also, any recommendations from all you "OB" owners as to the "best wax" on a black car?

Just used AutoGlym on my car, very happy with the results! Enjoy the BO!

What at the differences between the XS and the X?
I feel that would have been perfect for me. I really wanted the S but got the X because of the snow here in the NorthEast.

the XS is the X with the optional "Sport Package", padal shifters, sport seats, and 18" wheels. Still all wheel drive.

Man, that is exactly what I wish I had. I guess I should have waited a year.

And the iPod connectivity as well.
