After all the stories I've heard about the German brands, I'm staying away from Audi, BMW and MB.

J.P.

One thing to note why I like AWD is that people often just think of navigating roads or freeways with snow on the ground but some of the real issues come up when a plow went down the street and builds up a 1ft-2ft+ hill into entrance ways or other streets and found myself wanting AWD in those cases more so than just winter rubber on RWD.

Most don’t get stuck while they are on the roads, it happens a lot when your transistioning roads and driveways.

Me too. ;-)

An RX for her, an IS for me. Best of both worlds.

That was awesome, I thought of it. But I have to stick with her OLD OLD Camry for now lOLZ

Get the IS350.......similar power, more reliable & hold its value better.

The G37x AWD is better than the IS350. Lexus AWD are crap


RX for her, SC for me

what? no. My GS had excellent AWD, and I think IS has the same.

as to G37 vs IS, i would try them both... IS has been big enough for my family, but it may not be for his.

How so?

I have AWD in my IS and so far it's been fantastic.

almost anything else would be more exciting.

Well...the Infiniti is the ATTESSA system which also powers the GTR. I'd say thats a decent AWD system

I'm not discounting the Infiniti/Nissan system. I'm asking for clarification as to what about the Lexus AWD system makes it "crap".

EZZ

I'm thinking he meant it in a relative perspective since the two cars are being compared to each other. Maybe he can clarify if he actually meant if its "crap"

The IS350 AWD also has HUGE *** hump that intrudes into the footwell of the driver.

Sure, if you find excitement in cars breaking down and going to the shop often , then yes a (enter competitor here, except for Accord..lol) will be more exciting.

It's not anywhere near "HUGE". It's a couple of inches high.

As someone who drives with it every day, I can tell you it's no big deal. I can't even contort myself in there in any way where I can even bump it with my leg. It's completely out of the way. But for someone who's never driven it, I can see how it would appear to be an issue. But it isn't.

For a taller person like me it is bothersome. It blocked the gas pedal all the time which is dangerous. You'd think Toyota/Lexus would fix this after gas pedal gate issue.
