The G8X is soft transition into the new reality when performance cars will be much heavier. Hybrids and BEVs will reset the notion of what a dual purpose car should be and weigh. Sub 3k lbs performance cars was long the standard but it has been gone for a while, cars like the E30 M3, 993 and F40 balanced on 3k. We have accepted 3500 lbs for a while but with Hybrids and BEVs we will move into 4k+.
It will be interesting to see how many will accept it and learn to enjoy the added TQ, traction and resulting speed and how many will continue run old cars from here on.
