Any opinions regarding the Infinity G35X all wheel drive system?

I think it's part-time. Rear-only until slippage. I guess it allows you to have an
RWD sport-sedan with less chance of getting stuck. And less chance of having
to install tire chains in California's overly conservative chain controls (I've see chains
required for 2WD vehicles when there was just a dusting of snow on the highway;
I suspect that's a huge contributing factor to why we drive so many SUVs).

Nissan claims better handling from RWD than AWD as their justification for part-time.
I suspect it has more to do with what they know how to build economically. The
Murano is similar, except FWD-only until slippage.
