    You could do a Cadillac CTS AWD Performance edition, by going with the standard performance package you will get carbon fiber inserts instead of the wood trim.

    M1A1 Abrams will do the trick for ya plus you can aim the cannon at anyone that is in the way and blow the shit out of them or sit up top and let the 50 cal pop a few rounds down the highway and what do you know, a clear path to crusie the tank down. Just a thought.

    I went from an 06 Saab 9-2X to the GXP. VERY happy I did.

    A new guy at work is getting rid of his Subaru for a Vette.

    Oh, I'm well aware that a G35x would be down a lot of power from a G8. But I want AWD and I don't like the radio/heater situation, etc... I don't like the lack of fold down rear seats but the G35 doesn't have them either :/

    Also, the AWD G35x is still 250Lb lighter...

    But I'm gonna test drive some other stuff too e.g. 328xi. Don't want a 335xi due to HPFP issues (and price issues, probably).
    Perhaps a Legacy GT just to be sure...
    Not Acura stuff since the AWD is front-biased...
    Not Audi... Though I may actually check out a Passat VR6 4motion, I know, I know, same stuff...

    I'm fairly decided on a G35x, though.
