Don't ask how I came across this add, the sales guy is pretty dorky in my opion. The only thing I do agree with him is that he mentions towards the end the only car that can beat the GXP is a M5

Enjoy

Too bad that it's got a slushbox. But G8 GXPs are excellent cars.

I test drove a G8 in December before I bought my M5 and didn't like the automatic and the steering wheel doesn't tilt that much, making it tight to get into if you're over 6 ft. The G8 corners well, but rides choppier on rough pavement than my M5 and had more axel hop than I liked. At 6 ft 5 I have headroom in my M5, but my head was up against the headliner in the G8. Definitley a fast car but of course, when it came to the fit and finish, there's no comparison with the BMW quality IMHO.
