Absolutely incorrect.
I bought a G80 M3 because it's the only car with a manual transmission, has 4 doors, has a luxurious interior with modern amenities like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and sounds pretty good after a few exhaust mods. Note: I don't like V8's quite so much and prefer the howl of a 6 cylinder, hence why I didn't consider the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. I also don't like how that car looks at all inside and out.
I don't mind the front end at all as it has grown on me, but I wouldn't say that I
like it. I like things like the wide hips, aggressive nature, the amazing community we have here, etc. but the front grille isn't something I lust after. It is certainly a distinguishing factor on the G8X and is all the controversy, but I absolutely did not look at it and go "yes I must have that". In fact, I ordered one, cancelled it, then ordered one again because there genuinely aren't any cars out there that can satisfy
all my wants/needs. At first, I wouldn't have minded the grille if the car sounded decent, but it didn't at all in stock guise. Upon hearing a G80 M3 that sounds pretty good with catless DP's and a single midpipe, I ordered one as sound was the thing that was difficult to get over based on the initial videos/reviews and what not. I value the sound of a car quite a bit.
So yeah, definitely can't lump all of the G8X owners in one category with a statement like that.
