The g80 is sooo much bigger. Is the frontend growing on you? Honestly, I'd like both in my garage...the g80 would be a great daily!

"nevertheless it will still haul it's lardy ass to 62 in under 4.0 seconds".

Gnarly specs for sure. I've test driven one and it is monster but it just seems huge in person. Like really huge when compared to even my Mach 1 when in fact it is only 1" wider, 1" longer, and 2" to 3" taller. Feels huge driving it to boot. I will probably never own one but I can see it as a daily, not much else. I like the interior and except for the front end I like the exterior.

From the owner of the E46: "I'm the actual owner of the E46 and another point to mention is its fitted with semi slicks and the new g80 had michelin ps4s tyres which are more suited to the wet."

Damn that G80 is hideous.

At the track I saw a G80 in the rear view mirror, it is jarring to look at. This was after I passed it. The car is stupid fast on the straights but didn't look very nimble or stable in the corners. It seemed to around a lot. Not sure if it was the driver or the car. Probably a little bit of both.

No, the front end is not growing on me. The G80 will go down as one of the great blunders of automotive design. No, we will not look back on it in 20 years and think it was good after all.

The more I see it the more I realize the headlights are even worse than the nostrils

This is how I feel too.
