USirritated -
Power drop is significant - it's more than 100 HP and yes I do notice that when I put the foot down.
But 200 HP with a light frame still moves alot quicker than the impalas, suvs, trucks and other rubbish I normally get from Avis.
I had the G25 Journey($33k) which is all options minus the AWD for the G25. COmpared to the G37s - the installed options are identical except if you get into the Infiniti G37 Sport range($41k). (And I am yet to see one of those at ANY car rental lot)
Hope that helps Mr Chairman/s!
