So i just got done reading the new MOtor Trend magazine, reviewing the new G 6MT, and comparing it with the bimmer 330I 6MT. u can imagine my heart was pounding as i read every word, predicting the new G would take over the bimmer, but it didn't work out that way unfortunately in Motor Trend's opinion. those guys sure do love those bavarians. but anyways, a quick recap if u guys r interested. . .so "officially" 306 hp, 268 lbft. . .first test acceleration, whcih the G blew BMW out of the water by .8s at 5.4 sec to 60mph. . .braking? infiniti wins with 13" rotors all around. . .figure 8. . tie. . .slalom, bmw takes this. . .road driving, bmw takes this with its silky smooooooth feeling it gives those writers. again, as u guys know, tested price was about 9000 more for the bmw. and what do these MT guys say? it was a TIE in all the tests. . .but the bmw is the 'better car', whcih may be the case overall disregarding price, but they call it a , TKO. . .now thats some sh*t isn't it. anyways, just venting on MT's choice of words before i sleep and wait to test drive the new G in november. . .
