Obviously not the best source, but I was watching an episode of TopGear, and Clarkson did a comparison between the VXR8(G9 GXP's brother) and a Bimmer. He made a good point; the VXR8 was so good, he liked it so much, because it was so simple. Why the heck do I need 7 different drivetrain settings, why do I need the option for different power levels coming out of the engine?

That's the way I look at it. The G8 is better than the BMW, imho, because it's so much simpler, and yet faster. It's all I'd ever need. Even IF I had the mula, I wouldn't swing for a Bimmer.

Maybe I'm just wierd in the head...............
What doesn't change is individual preference, and I agree that simplicity is ultimately better than experimentation with the complex and unknown. I'd rather have an Audi B6/7 S4 than both personally, a totally underrated but stellar performer. Can't wait til the B8 gets here!!!
