> maybe you werent driving hard enough. what do you hope to experience from FR that you couldnt experience in AWD?

Overall just a better driving experience. As said before, AWD covered up mistakes I’ve made, and even though I do realize that mistakes were made, the AWD prevented me from doing what a RWD car would’ve had me doing. I learn better by experiencing something then applying. If, for example, the AWD covers up poor throttle control in a turn, whereas a RWD would most likely have me spinning, I’d learn more from trying to prevent the spin rather than pretending there was nothing wrong.  
At the end of the day, I wanted a better platform for a better experience from driving. I also experienced a surprising amount of lag with the LGT, so I wanted something all-motor as well. Remembering my G35, the car seemed to have torque everywhere throughout the rev-range. The LGT most certainly did/does not.

If you re-read, you’ll see I didn’t want nav.:  
“It has all of the options I wanted, and none that I didn’t (nav, cold weather)”

Although I agree with this, a Toyota Camry can not allow me to use the excuse “I drive a BMW, therefore I am a douche.”
