Don't know yet if I'm going to do it or not, but when I'm looking at the G37xs sedan, is there anything I should look for?

Also, I noticed on KBB.com that it lists two different "sport" models.

A, G37x "Sport Appearance Edition" and G37 "sport sedan", what is the difference? What the hell is Sport Appearance?

Thanks!

The main difference is the suspension. The G37xS is the all wheel drive with 17" wheel and the sport seats. The G37S is rear wheel drive, has 18" wheels, staggered front to rear; bigger discs and calipers as well as the sport seats. There are a few other differences as well. The G37x would be an auto tranny and the G37S, depending on year, would be either auto or manual - '11s would only be manual.

Thanks Starter. Went to a dealership and looked at a 2012 G37xS "Sport Appearance" and was told the difference between the Sport appearance has a blacked out front grill, sport spoiler and the seats.
The Sport difference is the wheels/

One thing to remember depending on where you live - the G37S only came with high performance summer tires. I found it to be essentially undrivable in snow. I've replaced the summers with high performance all seasons (after wearing them down of course) and solved the problem.
