The G stands for grip.
BY MORGAN SEGAL October 2007
Presuming you’ve already sifted through the bigger decisions—BMW 3-series? Mercedes C-class? Audi A4? Cadillac CTS?—and arrived at the Infiniti G35, let us confront the lesser included question: What’s the difference between the rear-drive G35 and the all-wheel-drive G35x?
Let’s go to multiple choice:
A. About $2500.
B. About 150 pounds.
C. Increased understeer.
D. All of the above.
The answer, of course, is all of the above. But before we get into specifics about the foregoing, here’s another question: Do you really need all-wheel drive?
We ask because a rear-drive car with a good set of snow tires will perform better in winter conditions than an AWD car on performance or so-called summer tires. But if you live in a four-season climate, and all things are equal tire-wise, then yes, all-wheel drive is a definite plus.
