I'm not surprised about this. I've stated that previously that F8X generation was a huge leaps and bounds of engineering technology and felt that the G8X generation was a huge cost cutting effort but compensated by putting more power.
Cost cutting efforts like:
1) No more DCT and replaced with a ZF
2) No CF Drive Shaft and replaced with a 50mm driveshaft
3) No CF brace in the front and have normal steel bars
4) Floating Brake caliper instead of fixed in the F8X
5) Increase of weight
None the less, the G8X is a good evolution of the F8X with the traction control system, brake ducts, and upgraded interior.
Just not a fan of the front still.
