Well... at the real end of the day, the G8x is a faster car, more power more stable at the limit. It's also heavier with more road isolation. Outside of 0-60 and lap times, the G8x is not the most fun to drive. Chris Harris is one of the most respected car journalists among car enthusiasts and looking at the 2 videos below when he's driving the F80, he's having a blast using adjectives like "stupendous." But when he's driving the G80, he likes it but there's no emotion and you can clearly tell the difference in the fun factor he's getting from both cars.
So, I don't agree with the assertion that "the G8X is simply a better car in every regard." From a driving perspective, it's better in some areas (like speed/power) but not in other area (like fun to drive), and from my view it's clearly not better from a looks perspective. |
Fun is also subjective. Having owned and tracked 2 F80's already, the G82 offers a new experience and new challenges to in learning a new car. Not to say the F80 wasn't fun, but I'm really enjoying the G82 and having more fun than I was a year ago in my F80. I also think the new bold look is more fun to photograph and look at, if not maybe because it's so polarizing and new. But that's just my opinion.
