The looks aren't questionable. It's a matter of opinion as with all cars.

They are 100% useless, and wouldn't change anyone's mind about buying one vehicle or another. They might as well put a dump truck and school bus in there vs. the M3. It wouldn't make a difference. They bang on and on in order to stretch the video to nearly 10 minutes for zero reason, other than to monetize.

They are great entertainment for teenagers, I suppose. But that's about it.

Which, interestingly enough, is much better looking, than any Jag or Maserati, in history.

I love these videos and I'm in my thirties. It's just interesting to see the cars and how they perform.
It's not a scientific study, it's just a YouTube video.

You should recommend that in the YouTube comments if that would excite you.

First you gotta subscribe and smash the like button and leave a comment below because it really helps us out. Also check out the affiliate link below and if you wanna show support then head over to my patreon page.

They don't read comments and certainly couldn't care less what a "fan" thinks. YouTube is just to full of produced and scripted reality shows with trash content and trash sponsorships anymore. They won't do anything unique or different because the sheep are still enjoying the same pointless comparisons.

Nevertheless, these tests don't define at all the driving ambient in any of these vehicles. In these tests, the slowest car might be the most engaging and thrilling ride. I thought that by now, we understand that the chrono is not the instrument that grades between good and splendid.

I recently read an article in the local newspaper about a maniac that launched his car and was phone-videod. The driver will have to face the judge while his permit will get revoked for months... Another one: a porsche 911 was filmed on an abandonded rondabout at night doing 1 powerslide 180: when it turns bad, the guy will have to go to jail for this! Can you imagine?

YouTube has to be one of the lowest forms of entertainment. Who has the time or the patience to sit through ten minutes of watching three little cars go in a straight line? I, for one, am not one of those people.

As with many things in life, it's better spent outside. Go grab your car keys, and trust me: whatever four wheels you're commanding, it'll be a lot more entertaining than listening to the drivel that's a YouTube "influencer" or "car reviewer".

from what i've seen....the G8x take off in 2nd gear using LC. which just seems weird to me as...why even have a 1st gear. maybe launching in 2nd gives more repeatable results?

did you really ask 'who has the time or patience...' when commenting about a vid from an entity with over 6M subscribers? and most of the vids are doing exactly what you described?

Launch control in the G8x RWD launch the car in second gear with the proper RPM set for traction purposes. M Xdrive G8X launch in first gear.

All the other cars were AWD, the RS6 is arguably a segment higher and is meant to be an M5 competitor... it's only natural they launched faster.

BMW needs to provide Mat with a long term loan Xdrive M3 or M4... we would see it crush most of the competition for a while since he does drag races a lot with anything.

G8x with X-Drive will launch better than the Alfa's system. For being RWD, the G82 doesn't disappoint one bit.
Is the diff in the G8X entirely different than the F8X? To the extent that they are the same, could that mean the F8X diff could be coded to mimic the newer diffs settings in the future?

I have to agree. Sometimes these forums make me feel like an outsider in a forum of old men yelling at clouds. "I don't like these videos. Therefore everyone that watches them are sheep as only things I like are good and proper." I realize that mentality comes with old age but man I'm really going to put a concerted effort into not to becoming that.
