You can't be serious. This car looks nothing like the G Coupe. I can see a conclusion being drawn in comparison to the Q from the front view (though the Q looks better), but not the G. Not from any angle.

I'd rather blow $70k on another car.

This car doesn't excel in anything. Jack of all trades...master of none type thing.

I'm still partial to a convertible M3 with about $20k left in change.

Ohhhh I get it.

Not only are you a troll. You're trying to model yourself after Dr. Cox on Scrubs.

Yeah, you're really an original character on the boards here

Have you driven your mistress 545i? Have you ever driven it on a closed course? Have you ever driven it back to back with the SC430?

I somehow doubt you did because it would be way too coincidental?

By the way BMW lover boy, how come you dont state in your profile your location and what you drive?

More evidence of you surely living on a difference planet and lacking judging ability for this industry and its product the way you try to judge them. WHich is fine. We need people like you.

Yes it does:

Up to a few months ago before the SLK55 came out, it was the only V8 hard top cabrio. And it still is the only V8 hard top cabrio 2+2.

That;s not a good thing for you, you mean? So?

Again trying to factualize completely subjective matters.

Your lack of judgment is so apparent, you cant even distinguish between subjective and objective notions. And you try to judge this huge and super mature industry. With no judgement ability. See the fact that most people completely disagree with you is not coincidental. It's based on the fact of your lack of judgement. You surely have a lot to learn.

I believe I said, "The SC is an absolute PIG on a twisty road, while the 545 is like a ballet dancer," so that implies I have. But since it needs to spelled out for the slow, yes, gabriella, I have driven both, and I stand behind what I say. One's a pig, and looks and handles every bit like one, and the other has the weight of a pig, but the grace of a dancer.


By the way BMW lover boy, how come you dont state in your profile your location and what you drive?
Why do you care, c0ck lover boy, you want some of this? Sorry, I don't get down like that.

The SC 430 handles quite well actually, read reviews or go DRIVE one. The PERCEPTION is its a bad handler b/c its a Lexus. Lexus gets a bum rap with some people who assume luxury ride= pig or unsafe. Its idiotic.

And I prefer driving a E39 to a E60 anyday.

No one assumes luxury ride=pig, unless the name on it is lexus. The PERCEPTION its a bad handler isnt because its a lexus (though that's a given), but because it IS one.

The difference between you and troll boy, is sometimes you actually have things to contribute....some of which I hate to say I've even agreed with.

except your outright dislike of lexus...which I just have to say I find to be based on nothing other then the fact they are lexus.

We'll see what happens.

If he dares to come back with another nickname or IP, he is automatically permanently banned.

Back to the topic. I loved the SC430 when driven. I was very positively surprised when I drove it hard on the Lexus even in a closed course.

Yeah, I just read the latest insult. That should be it for him. Name callin warrant's three days and one more shot to act correctly, IMO. But that comment... that's really crossing the line. Some people really loss their cool when presented with to much rational logic, and fact. That post should be removed.

I did think about removing his post. But then again, there wont be any evidence to the rest of the member of what prompted the ban, plus who this person really is. So there's pros and cons.
