The new M G8x is indeed a bit of a disappointment.
1/ they didn't have the cash to invest in lightweight like they did on the F8x and low weight is priority number 1.
2/ by consequence the extra power is only very mildly translated to extra performance,
3/ also, the fuel consumption and COČ emissions are +10% up (because of this, registration tax sky rockets in many countries)
4/ the torque limit on the MT will provide the G with a less favorable weight/torque ratio making it actually feel slower.
5/ this is subjective: this is looking like the equivalent of the Honda Type R in the hot hatch segment. Drag queen makeup from every angle you look at it.
