Default Won't handle nearly as well? Have you even read the reviews?

Especially the one called "The King Is Dead".

Handling on this car is nothing short of amazing.

And speaking of the king, the M3 also shares the platform with a sedan. Terrible handling, isn't it?

Default We're not talking 2003 Infinitis here.

Build and material quality of the previous generation G was sub-standard. We're talking about the new generation G cars. Ever sat in one? The materials put Mercedes-Benz to shame, although that's not difficult to do. Every plastic is nice and soft. The textures are right. The colors well matched.

I've been in the new G and my feeling are still the same. No attention to detail.

Default I would certainly call this attention to detail -- Studio photos

Default handling is good for a car that size, but it doesn't compare to a much smaller sportscar

go drive any car like a 335i, G37, S4, etc... back to back with a TT, Z4, or a Porsche, and you'll see the difference. Even the new M3 is a large, heavy car that isn't nearly as focused as its predecessors.

Default I think the center console is horrible. Overall it has way too much plastic. iPod integration nice..

The button feel is still bad as is the general execution. It looks like they cut some holes in the center console and inserted the controls from a NIssan Sentra.

It just doesn't look like the interior designers created anything unique for the car. It's as if they were given a box of parts from the Nissan parts bin, and told that was all they had.

The door handles are bad, so are the pedals. And what about the plastic "shark mouth" around the cluster. If it has teeth you'd be in trouble.

It just isn't in the same league as an Audi. Look at the vertical wood trim where it meets the horizontal. You've got a line there (it should be one piece), and you're also got another line from the plastic not 1/2 inch about it. Just looks messy.

It also needs 330HP just to get in the mid 5's. I'm thinking it needs some slim-fast!

I agree, especially when the 306 HP sedan is faster.
