I can kind of get it but the 50kg weight difference has little to no impact in reality on the G8x and being able to switch between RWD and Xdrive whenever the mood suits with a manual would tick many peoples boxes.

Ideally, id love to see a RWD V Xdrive set to RWD to see how they compare in performance terms.

My own is the M3C RWD and I love it as its all the performance I'll ever need but I can certainly see the plus for buying xdrive.
Stock vs stock they are heads up on roll until 137mph. then slowly RWD goes ahead but not by much.
