Why?
Because they look absolutely terrible and remind most of a base model Honda Civic. Sporty cars look great with those big beefy brakes inside the wheels, it’s aesthetic of course. One of the countless plights affecting the G8x disaster are the sliders, complete garbage on an $80k plus car.
Don't they also require the assistance of a diagnostic computer now too because of the electric parking brake?
