Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire did the same thing.
Should be a good sign for those who have yet to drive it that he raved about practically everything else - the grip, steering, powerband, 6-speed gearing, and braking all were rated highly by Brian.
BTW, if you're going 6-speed, you can easily keep the MSRP under $85k and even under $80k if you don't need the CF buckets. Knock off a few more bucks for G80. Amazing, amazing value.

This is the kind of thing that just kills me. I watched the review and in the back of my head I was thinking "wow, he's the first to call this thing floaty."
Then I noticed the same thing you did - he's evaluating the handling in the mode specifically designed to _not_ be about handling.
I will never understand this - it takes time and effort for him to make these videos, but then he doesn't take the extra 3 minutes to make sure he's actually evaluating the car at its best.
