be WARE the ride is rough is not as smooth as the G35
you are not gonna be 2 much more power outta the EVO from a G35 stock to stock
and the G35 will give you way better ride quality so i would stay with it
but if you can handle and live iwth the bumpy ride come to the evo family

I don't think there is an IX MR, at least not yet. Get the IX with SSL, or buy a beater and save up for the the next ~24 months and get the '08 Infiniti GT-R($70,000+) 450-550 hp AWD!

I've never driven a turbocharged car you think I will miss the linearity of the VQ35? Any former G35 drivers out there?

1. The AWD rocks in light snow. What's the tire size of your G? Not sure if you can just use the same tires on the Enkei's.
I even think the Evo is more practical than the G. 4 doors, big trunk, awd...
2. Evo will be more competitive in autocrosses.
3. Miss the linearity?....you have be kidding me....when you feel the turbo spool for the first time and your neck snaps back into your seat, you'll be nothing but all smiles...best feeling in the world, I guarantee it!

AWD also rocks in heavy snow...........just make sure you're using dedicated snow tires (don't try driving on the stock tires in winter; you're asking for trouble).
