What’s about this video that makes you think “BMW is headed nowhere” ?

You're just pissed off about the grilles like every other person who's crying over a car yet-to-be-revealed.

Sometimes the answer is pausing to take inventory of the exceptional things we have access to, and even if just for a moment, weighing that against whatever complaints (however valid) still remain. Quote:

There are many car types with special abilities as off-road prowess that are being bought for capabilities far exceeding what they are used for but when you use some of it whether it’s while being snowed in, during a flooding or just having fun on a beach or forest road you enjoy it more than cars that are less capable so the fans of them are very interested in reviews showing improvements in these areas and the cars with the best abilities will be favorites just as the M3 is a favorite among daily cars with track capabilities. |

But as performance limitations are increased that can be at the expense of day to day interactivity. The performance ceiling becomes so high that it's essentially inaccessible on-road. New M5 suffers from this effect, imo. Seems like it's bored, pretty much always. Particularly interested to see if the G8X is engaging well under the performance limit. That might be their biggest challenge. Haven't driven a Giulia, but my understanding is that much of the fanfare has to do with its consistent engagement factor -- quick steering, engine presence, etc.

My biggest mistake was driving the Giulia... I fell in love Okay, not really but that car was so good it almost ruined any other car for me, even the 4-cylinder variant drives exceptionally well.

I'm going to suggest the reduction in power in the 6MT models is because at higher speeds the 8AT and AWD will lose quite a bit more power through the drivetrain than the 6MT RWD, we'll find out once people get them on the dyno. I suspect the wheel figures will be very similar.

We're getting 6 piston on the front with steel brakes. That will provide larger front pads

It has a very fast steering, it feels small with a very precise front end. However, such a setup is only great for short rides, or empty canyon roads, etc. On the highway, overly quick steering becomes a hassle. The car feels jiggly and needs too much steering input. Also, the interior is BMW copycat in terms of design, but about 10 years behind of all German competitors in terms of feel and quality.
