Once again, a $50k BMW is compared to a $30k domestic. Apples to oranges.

It's like saying "has anyone compared a house in an affluent area to a house in a blue collar neighborhood" and being surprised that the blue collar neighborhood house isn't as nice.

Take the $20k diff between the G8 and the bimmer and either:
1) use it to mod the G8 so it's more upscale
2) pocket it and go drive

The G8 won't fall apart, it will start everytime you put your key in it, and it will haul ass. What more did you expect? A $50k car interior? Nope, that's why it's $30k and not $50k.

Come on guys, compare apples to apples.
