    i wold like that too, but i doubt they would do it, unless they do something to not make it like a cheaper g35, if they do.. tan it would kill the sales of the G. Kevykev posted a quite where they said it will come back like it used to be but it will still be fwd. I think its gonna be alot sportier like it used to be, something like a bigger altima SE-r, the only thing im confused about what engine is it gonna have? I could see a fwd version of the 3.7 vq, or maybe even Awd. most sedans in its class are not FWD anymore, and also come awd.

    Wow, I never thought about it cannibalizing the sales of the G35. Normally that pops into my head. Maximas are much bigger though aren't they?

    Oh well, I see what you're saying. I think AWD with a passive rear wheel steering system would be an interesting idea...but I know it'd be pricey. That much power in a FWD car will just lead to miles of screaming understeer and shoulder-popping torque-steer.
