Don't quite understand why people are putting so much stock on 2 blurry pictures that doesn't even show the entire car.

Just my personal opinion, but the G87 is one of the cars I'm really excited about. I haven't been this excited about a car since the M2 originally came out which feels like ages ago. I know this thread is about the G42 but hear me out on the G87

- S58 with 6MT. How many combos like this do we have left? It's early days, but the engine has seemed very reliable, and same with the B58 it's based on
- 35UP interiors, while not the most visually exciting, are pretty high quality, especially compared to their predecessors
- While people may argue about the cars looks (prematurely IMO), there's no denying that the EPS will be an upgrade over the previous cars. Put that down to more development
- I expect the car to be around 3500 lbs, which it is what it is. That's OK for cars nowadays

The only thing I hope they keep "reasonable" is the price, which I think the current M2C nails. If they can build on that recipe, it'll be a wonderful car.

I'm not super excited about the direction of where the car industry is headed, but I'm really hopeful for this car.
