Are you going to drive your 370Z in the snow?

If yes, have you considered to buy a G37X Coupe instead?

How is it in the snow?

Not sure, thinking of a beater!

Yes I considered the G37X Coupe, but $47k for an AWD system and an Infiniti badge is ridiculous. The only companies that merit mark-ups like that for their AWD is Subaru and Audi.

I haven't got stuck yet. Just be careful with more than 6 inches of snow, it doesn't usually happen on the roads because they have time to plow, but parking lot are real traps when they wait after the storm to clear them.

I drove a beater few years ago and I will never do that again, I felt loser all winter. I love cars and want to drive a nice one all year long.

I also find the Infiniti too expensive in Canada. I'm thinking about a STI or EVO now.

Can't go wrong with either!

I don't know that I would drive in 6 inches of snow, when I had my G.

Yup... it's going to be a beater for me. I am thinking nice family vehicle. Audi A3/A4Avant, or even an STI.
