Thanks for the clarification of the new meaning of open debate.
 
Accordingly, it is permissible for a contributor to propose that the G8 or any other similar product's excessive weight and high fuel consumption are of concern. Or to propose that there are a number of competing products exist in the market place which improve on the G8 in one way way or another.
 
Then it is also permissible reply posts to remark that those concerns are overstated or irrelevant It is further acceptable for some to reply that rising gas prices will not affect car purchases in many segments of the market
 
But it is not acceptable to request a reasonable articulation of such replies? Or to articulate the position which is denounced out of hand?
  
LOL

G8 GT is larger, more comfortable car compared to my 335i Coupe
 
Huh.
I gotta wonder why, if that was a concern, you chose the 335i coupe over the sedan?

My comfort around the turns goes to the bimmer. The G8 suspension is good but a few notches into the living room feel.
 
BTW, my 34K combined mileage is a religious 22 mpg on the hard stuff. The GT will say about 20 cents/gal so it's close to a wash regarding gas mileage if the GT combined is 19-20 mpg on the light stuff.
 
The big change for me would be the handling/steering feel downgrade but the $ difference is quite substantial and could make me move back to a V-8....mileage be damned.
 
Regards,
OW

i meant why he chose the 335i coupe over the 335i sedan, if space in the backseat was a concern.

...is the 2008 G8. It's only natural that drifting to other topics will occur, but please try to keep it focused on the G8.
 
If you want to talk about GM's world in general, go over to GM News, New Models and Market Share.

Wow, indeed.
Particularly when the Base only went up $400.
Odd.....
My current plan is 4 - 5 months from now.
Hoping the new Silver will be available by then.
We shall see.

Sorry, don't recall mentioning anything about backseat. I'm 6-3 190 lbs, so for me the G8 is both roomier up front as well as easier to get in or out of. I chose coupe because I think it is a beautifully styled car and I don't care for the sedan styling.
