I guess they started making IS350 AWD for the 2011 IS350..

because back then, people that wanted AWD didnt want the power, and the ones that wanted power could care less about the AWD. now with the C300 4matic/335x drive doing so well, they figured they need to get their hands into the power/awd market.

"back then" as in 5 years ago? My friend wanted the 350 in AWD, but ended up getting 250 because 350 didnt have awd

Um, ya. What he said. ^

I wanted AWD, but wish I had the power of 350. Wondered why there was no IS350awd. Like jpark said, they now need manual. This is great news and definitely a step in the right direction.

Add on top Infiniti has had the G37 in AWD for awhile.

Lexus won't do a 6spd model. I think because its not necessary. Why do R&D, production, marketing and all that jazz for a market that is so small. MOST people buying these cars are looking for a luxury/sporty family sedan.

If you want a 6sp, you buy a REAL sports car. Like a Vigorous ZX.
