I wanted to give different options, but that's the thing. If you want RWD, ~50/50 weight distribution, with more space than the G70, your options are the Infiniti Q50 or 5 Series class cars that cost a ton more.
Some folks on the G80 Forum are recommending the G80 Sport (RWD version has a F to R weight distribution of 51 / 49%). Some are saying it offers the best of both worlds but I have yet to test drive one.
I returned my leased Q50 (had it for 3.5 years) the same day I picked up my G70. I can confirm that the Q50 has more room in the back seat. It's noticeably bigger. That said, I like the G70 much more than I liked the Q50. I really liked the Q50, but it hasn't been updated in almost 5 years. The tech, fit/finish, and smoothness of the engine/transmission don't compare to the G70. If rear seat space is critical, the Q50 is worth a look. It's a good car and the lease deals are fantastic. However, the rear seat room is literally the only thing that I like more about the Q50 than the G70.
I am not "liking" the "all Summer" tires on so many cars. I do not live sufficiently "north" to justify switching tires (between Winter and Summer); I do not live sufficiently "south" to be able to get away with "all Summer" tires in the Winter. And--how many trims have different sized tires on the front and rear--I have that on one car and wanted to avoid that on other cars.
I still like the car; and still have not seen one in person; and still plan to buy one--but not positive that I am fond of this aspect.
One dealer I spoke with said they had all season tires on all of the Sport trims--once I actually see a car in person (and know for sure I like it), I may make a trip to them and buy from them if it is the difference in not having to mess with separate tires (or not drive during the Winter). (This dealer also did not have different tires on front and back.) I'm not savvy enough to be able pick up a car that I take care of on my own--but kudos to you for having that as an option.
I thought that as well, but he sent me vehicle information showing all season tires -- so not sure. I will follow-up/ask him about--but I still have not seen an actual car, so I haven't been pushing too hard yet. (I thought all Sport came with staggered/different tires as well) -- but what he sent me, for a 3.3T (MB/Black) listed: "18 inch alloy wheels with Michelin All Season Tires (P225/45R18)". Perhaps they are switching out at the dealership??
Maybe--the sheet he sent me lists "Sport Package" and has Dark Chrome Grille & Window Trim, Dark Tint Taillight Covers, Copper Bezel Accents--I'll email him again. It seemed not to match, to me, the information I was reading elsewhere at the time; he has been helpful though, so I'll see what else I can find out.
Not sure I did this correct -- but the VIN he had on the what he sent me, I entered -- and
