Let's not try to spin the story... we all expected a 3700 lb car at most... and that is with AWD... they really porked it up.
Is the ZF 8AT heavier than the DCT? Are there any carbon fiber parts like trunk and hood? CF driveshaft? I am sure the car will be a better performer than in the past but that is a serious weight gain... and it will be felt in every day driving. Coming from my M2C, an AWD 8AT G80 would feel like a boat and probably take away from the experience. At 3800 lbs, a C63s (if you do not track the car) becomes a more reasonable option than ever.
