G35 coupe is a beautiful car. if it were front wheel or AWD i would've been swayed more.

the G35 is RWD and has an option for AWD but the AWD is only automatic and only has 280Hp

didn't drive, did the TL & G35, though reviews of SH-AWD for RL are pretty damn good.

it worked alright. almost to the point that you thought it was taking over controle of the car and it would give it back in a minute. Its only there to save people that don't know what the hell they're doing. I would not put it in the same class as an audi. this thing jurks in about the same force as when you turn your a/c off under acceleration. And it comes out of no where, so if your not expecting it, you might just freak out and make it worse. imao.

well its very different... quattro is all mechanical... where the RL has an extrememly sophistocated "intelligent" AWD... I'm sure it works better than quattro in most applications -- but I still appreciate quattro's simplicity.

And of ESP... my dad's 2002 has it, and we both hate it. So on that note... if the RL acts anything like quattro with ESP turned on... than I can see why you wouldnt like it, but I don't think that is the case -- not from what the reviews are saying.

the car I drove must of had something wrong then cus it was always stepping in and givng me oversteer. just all of the sudden the car would be loose and then it would go away, just make it work right and let me decide when to kick out the back end.
