Once you actually have the pen in your hand ready to sign, much faster or not...hmmm.
The hardcore MT crowd will not care. MT or death.  |
I agree with their reasoning but I think there will be more people in the market for a family car that they can also use year round....
guess we'll just have to see what happens. and the good thing about the AWD is you don't even have to give up RWD for it! the Auto/RWD crowd will be a lot of penny pinchers I think lol. It's a weird combination for me with the X drive available. the extra weight down low doesn't really scare me, personally.
I wanted 6MT/MXD. without that I'm not too sure about the G80, especially since I'm already compromising on the looks.
