Wow, that's one of the worst hp/L ratios I've seen in a car (the V8). Lots of torque tho...

Total BMW ripoff. From the rims to the C-pillar and most of all the one auto maker that took the twin kidney grill design.

The sad truth is...

It actually looks better (and much less trendy) than that BMW 5er!

At least the front end doesn't look like a wayward member of a bad Kabuki theater troop.

I love the updated E60's looks. This G8 is very attractive, but it won't age as well as the 5er- it looks very 2007, but no fresher. Very bland. The 5 Series is going to look about normal in ten years.

V8 is disappointing in output, but I am sure it can be openned up with after market tuning. Most likely done to make the MPG Gods happy. Looks good though.

GM wasn't following Lexus with the G8 web page. GM does this for all of its future models.

The side profile almost looks like an A8. Very Nice overall. One my good friends already put down a deposit for his.

The 6-litre V8 might work for me as long as it does not have cylinder decativation.
