Edmunds: EX35 Full Test

Okay I call shenanigans on some things...
Naturally there are some consequences with the EX's new shape when it comes to weight, but the 3,752-pound version of the rear-wheel-drive model is just 255 pounds heavier than a rear-wheel-drive G35, and the fully equipped 5,029-pound all-wheel-drive EX35 AWD is just 241 pounds heavier than an all-wheel-drive G35x. Even the weight distribution is only fractionally different, but the rear-wheel-drive model is predictably a bit sharper and quicker than the all-wheel-drive model.
Since when does AWD add over 1,200 lbs of transmission?

Lastly, would they make up their minds???
When it's really important, this 3,820-pound rear-wheel-drive EX also comes to a halt from 60 mph in 118 feet, an excellent performance from the G35-spec brakes and Dunlop SP Sport 7000 tires.
Which is it, 3,752 lbs or 3,820 lbs? All of this calls into question their credibility on the entire review... where are they pulling these numbers from?
 
fully equipped 5,029-pound all-wheel-drive EX35 AWD is just 241 pounds heavier than an all-wheel-drive G35x.

Damn ... the 4dr G35x is close to 5000 lbs?? I doubt that.
