Question AWD versus FWD

Sorry... I posted this originally in the wrong Forum.

I haven't bought one yet. Comparing to the Audi Q5. Dealers are half hour drive away. Coming off a 2004 Murano that takes off like a bat out of **** but guzzles gas. I'm plowing through the 450h packages

Maybe I'm reading the build-to-order wrong on the US site but I notice that there's some features like the Heads-up display that are only available on the AWD but not the FWD (eg aniline leather, roof rack).

Does the 450h have that proximity controlled speed control?

Are there other features on the AWD that you FWD owners wish you had?

Yes, Lexus forces you to get AWD if you want certain features and that's exactly what happened to me. I do not need nor want awd, but I wanted the roof rack rails, luxury package which has the semi analine leather and other goodies, and the head up display, and the LED headlights, and the pre collision system/radar based cruise control
