I expect the base G80 will be a better overall car with performance and technology.

I'm leaning towards the F80 and maybe getting the G80 a couple years down the road.
It's not a base car in the sense of the F80. The F80 Comp was night and day (coming from someone that had a base F80, then a comp, then a CS). Most importantly, the suspension is the same on the G80 "base" and comp.
I appreciate that, but there will be visual cues to tell them apart. IMO the F80 comp looks so much better than the base F80.
The only difference is the badge color. If you can't get around that in your head get an F8x.
