Respectfully disagree, there are plenty of us former F8X owners who have not looked back (and a few who have, admittedly) and are enjoying the new aesthetic the G8X is brining to the table. It is more controversial, but I think that's what is bringing a new audience to the car, while alienating the traditionalists. In a way, I kind of like that... it's taking risks and I wish more car manufacturers would take.

They've had problems in the past... but they also have problems with the GR Supra didn't they (or was that someone else)? Either way, it will be interesting to see what issues they are having, because by all accounts the G8X is faster around the track. Being a ring taxi service, maybe there is something about it that doesn't fit their needs with their customers.
