It is FWD Best you can hope for is they make a MS version that is AWD (extra weight). I'm looking for a RWD sports sedan which limits me to Infiniti, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes and Hyundai.

I want something a little bigger then the IS350. Specifically a midsize sports sedan.

I'm generally not big on American Cars, but I *could* be convinced to buy a V.
