Just went and test drove one, still not a huge fan of the blocky front. Just wondering if I’ll get over it, I’ve been saving for one and can almost justify the purchase.
My biggest takeaway from it is how exposed the front radiator is… is there a way to protect this from rocks? Seems like an expensive trip on the road if one hits it at speed.
I just picked mine up last night and I love it.
The amount of hate the car gets from F series owners is pretty high, from just about everyone else you will get a different reaction.
Personally I don’t love the front of the G87 as much as the front of the G42 or the F87, but the profile, hips, interior and ride quality are so much higher. Add some aftermarket touches to the car (front splitter, spoiler, color matched lower front vent) and it looks fantastic.
I test drove an og F87 and immediately knew it was too stiff and bouncy for local roads. The G87 is much different - possibly because of the weight in addition to adaptive dampers - while you can feel the road through the chassis it is much less harsh.
Also, there are multiple radiator protectors available.
