I was on the fence regarding the G8X, the marketing campaign definitely pushed me over to the other side.

The access has gone to the influencers. Personally, I do not trust their reviews and observations as much as the automotive journalists. If you are not coming off of lease, there is not much incentive to purchase with so much TBD.
My dealer is a little surprised I am not taking an open slot, because I had told them if a manual sedan is available I will purchase, but with styling that is worse than the G20, I want to know it drives extremely well.
Also worth note, surprisingly they are not the only game in town for us die-hard manual buyers, the CT5/4 V's are coming soon in manual. I do not really want to buy a GM car, but BMW has not gone a good job keeping me in the fold.
