Don't they make an AWD version of the Nissan G5 called the G35x? I just hope it's not the 4door.

By sporty I mean the 335 is a luxury car that handles more like a lexus than a twin turbo sports car. Jsut becuase you can put a chip in it and make it have more power doesnt mean its a sports car.

Ive owned cars that make gobs more power than the 335 does and dont handle any better.

I drove both when i was car shopping and the 335 felt jsut like every other luxury car Ive driven.

Nothing wrong with the 335 at all it does what it was designed to do wonderfully. I jsut wanted something more sporty.

Me neither, that's why I made the thread

I will be moving up north into the snow next year for a career move, and I don't feel like learning how to drive my FWD in the snow. I will trade it and buy an AWD. I also swore to myself I wouldn't buy another sedan until I have kids.

Friend of mine back at UCF has a WRX powered 2.5RS, theres Jerry with the yellow Mirage (cant remember how many doors his has but they come in coupe size too), Mig has a DSM/Civic, etc. etc.
I have enough projects and toys. I just want something new or almost new that fits the thread title.

No, I will not sell the 7. She is my first born after all.

Couldn't find any in my price range. The Carrera 4s will be my best bet in the Porsche department.

Yes they are. Friend of the family has one, some sort of anniversary addition that is quite simply, balls to the wall.

Try out the MazdaSpeed6 as well. I'm it's a 4door, but you don't have much to work with so far.
