I'm sure it will be a great car and a success sales-wise. I would never shit on anyone for choosing it. But it's not for me.

Huh? I will certainly be driving the S58, enjoying more power (~650hp with dp and tune) sitting in the seats, looking and them and the roof. How do I not drive/look at those specs?
Funny you say ugly as sin when we still haven't seen the non-camo front end. Having never driven or even seen one yet, you seem a bit biased. But hey, to each their own. F87 will always be a great car.

Agreed...
I have a feeling the G87 will look really good once lowered with some aftermarket wheels and carbon. The front, well time will tell once we get real pics. I'm a little disappointed there won't be any type of BMW style halos. I will say - I thought the G80's were going to stay ugly, but having seen them fully modded now they look quite good IMO. I think we see the same thing here.
After driving a couple G80's I don't think they're as 'numb' feeling as I was afraid they'd be. I think with the shorter wheelbase the G87 will still be a blast to drive.
