Infiniti/Nissan's AWD is one of the best in the world, but most just don't know it. think of all the Skyline GT-Rs (always AWD) and the current GT-R (greatest AWD system ever??) and now the current version of X.. it's RWD biased and drives like a true RWD car at all times until traction is compromised thats when the torq splits to the front for AWD traction. the handling nature is very much like what BMW does with it's AWD (rear bised, neutral, etc).. but, likely better.

just my .02

Attesa > Quattro

Good point
But I'd still take Quattro over Attesa.
If it was GT-R vs Audi, I'd take GT-R though

I don't know lyjw88, my love for the V10 R8 is pretty darn high

dont get me wrong, i'd take an R8 in a heart beat.. shoot, i'll take a V10 R8 over the GT-R anyday.

but we are talkin about A4 and AWD that's in it. R8 and Lambos are a lil diff as i mentioned cuz they are actually much more rear biased (maybe different AWD system??). A4/A5 and so on are def. not the best as they all handle like boats and are always known to understeer and front heavy (think they got better with the current gen A4, but you can't hide the FWD genes in it, which is what they are based on).

Rear bias FTW

The person who responded with "It's Infiniti" was saying that because the person who said they didn't like Japanese cars spelled Infiniti wrong.

And yes, Attesa > Quattro any day.

HAHA Oh I know all about the argument in this thread. I was simply poking fun at the "If it was GT-R vs Audi, I'd take GT-R though" comment.

Audi for sure!

You guys may lust after the R8's beauty, but the GT-R is quite a bit faster for quite a bit less money....

And the GTR has clean functional lines that will likely age well whereas the R8 is a bit busy. The new 550-2 Lambo takes clean lines even further and with the new stripes *drool*.
