Then there's Hellcats. I could also being up the "T" word, but let's just not.
Translation: mods have fun with this thread. 
If you are looking for bragging rights, there should be some specific areas where the G8x comes out in the top spot, particularly the G80 since its a sedan and high performance sedans are less prolific than coupes. The AWD model is also going to occupy a smaller niche too, with the M4 in particular being something of a neo-GT-R at a much lower price-point.
So maybe not necessarily game changing territory, but certainly great value at any rate. |
Great response, high end muscle and electric were two classes that came to my mind as well. I feel like muscle is targeting a different market demographic and that the 60k+ point buyers are looking for a more sophisticated car so to speak. The neo-GTR comment is spot on for describing the M4.
I'll drop the Tesla word since im not myopic on brand and try to be objective...now that a model 3P and m4 are both about 4,000 lbs, does the G8x justify a 10-15k premium over a model 3P? while purists will hate this, battery range, cost, performance and weight will eventually push traditional ICU engines to innovate, for the benefit of us, the consumer. better yet i4m in 2028 anyone?
