From what I understand the G87 is more capable than the F87 (thank god) and better behaved. Doesn't mean it's actually better / interesting as an overall experience to drive... Like EVs, they are surely capable in some aspect and faster, do I want to drive that ? hell no.
I've had an F87, and F82 and currently an AWD G80. Of course the G80 is faster anywhere, safer, slides so predictable and progressive and list goes on... Is it more fun than my previous F82 / F87 and it's loud DCT fart when upshifting during WOT near the red line? not a chance... Do you need to respect it otherwise it might kill you by snapping ? No... Now to get "fun" in a G80 you absolutely need a track to make that car feel alive, and it's at least as much engaging there. The F gen was easier to have fun with on the normal road and speeds. So I can kind of understand what Thomas was trying to say in that review. Objectively the new car is better... but subjectively you'd take the old one for a fun week end drive.
