A lot of us didn't like it initially because it was such a huge change, some of us still don't like it, but in general the opinion (as well as a poll conducted here) for people that have actually seen the car is 50% for, 50% against.

The CS community it's about 99% against, 1% for. Now, why would that be? Lol.
Looking at the G8X forum activity/comments and G8X's that have sat on my local dealers lots even during this car shortage, I'd argue there is way more than 50% against. After briefly driving a Sao Paulo G82, there's no question the car performs better than my F80 and the interior is stunning, but that's about it.

Preference differs, but there's not one exterior line on the car that is more attractive than an F8X CS model. Even if your anecdotal "50% for" sample size poll number is correct, I believe there's significantly less people willing to put money down for a G8X; yet the F8X keeps marching up in resale. My guess, in one year your used G80 could be worth less than your used F80 CS.
Tell everybody which dealership.
