Default the new AWD system in the G35, now makes me sure it will be my next car

While I love my A4, once I graduate college I want a G35 after this latest update:
The 04 G35 (the USDM Skyline) will be getting the Skyline GTR's all-wheel-drive system ATTESA-ETS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All - Electronic Torque Split).

Looks like they are introducing the Next GTR's essentials one at a time...

Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan

The big news for the 2004 G35 Sport Sedan is the addition, beginning in early December, of the G35 Sedan Leather AWD model. This new model features an advanced all-wheel drive system with an active torque distribution management system with an electro-magnetic clutch (no center differential). The advantage of this system is smooth starts and better traction and maneuverability on snowy roads and minimal compromise of rear-wheel drive performance characteristics on dry roads. Torque distribution front-to-rear is computer controlled and is variable between 0:100 and 50:50 front:rear.

All 2004 G35 Sport Sedans express Infiniti's bold new direction of combining leading-edge design and technology, driver-oriented performance and a high level of luxury. The G35 comes standard with a 260-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode or close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, 4-wheel independent multi-link suspension and rear-wheel drive.

Enhancements to the 2004 G35 Sport Sedan include:
·New G35 Leather AWD model with ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system, including "Snow-Mode" switch which fixes the torque distribution ration at 50:50 to improve performance on slippery roads
·Standard heated outside mirrors on all models 17-inch wheels now standard on all models
·Improved standard 6-disc CD changer (with faster operation)
·Standard Tire Pressure Monitor System
·Standard rear limited-slip differential on Leather 6MT model
·Heated front seats and 4-way power front passenger's seat standard on Leather, Leather 6MT models
·Engine will meet LEV2 standard for emission control (beginning with October production)
·Two new exterior colors - Diamond Graphite, Twilight Blue (previously available)

PS. Audi's at bonaventure count is now at 3, go figure there all sliver. Figured I'd add that so its not off-topic.

I just can't get over the ugliness of the sedan. The coupe looks good though...

Default Fairly cheaply remedied

Any likely a fair number of turbo applications on the horizon for that engine<ul><li><a href="http://www.stillen.com/sportscars_detail.asp?cat=2&amp;subcat=280&amp;id= 32672&amp;page=1">http://www.stillen.com/sportscars_detail.asp?cat=2&amp;subcat=280&amp;id= 32672&amp;page=1</a</li></ul>

Default In college I drove a '64 VW Beetle

When I graduated I was thrilled to be able to afford a three-year-old Honda Prelude.

Must be nice to have cash. Don't you attend a Catholic school? Aren't there Bible verses about helping the needy? I could have used a little charity back then (1985).
