I know these are not direct comparisons or apples to apples but I drove them back to back today and here are my thoughts.
They are both very well appointed cars. I think as far as driving, the Stinger gave much more feedback. The brakes, steering, engine sound, all were great. The suspension also felt much tighter less body roll.
I really liked the seats in the Stinger, very good support. I’m 5’10” 190lbs. The interior is nicely done as well. Fit n finish are quite good and everything seemed well thought out ergonomically. The Harmon Kardon sound system was very good and speaker placement very well designed.
Power was strong from this 3.3 V6 and shifting was quick and crisp.
Love the Hatch! The Launch Control was really a disappointment. Not sure if this is a common issue but there was about a 2 second delay after releasing the brake before the engine would really start pulling?
The G80 is a great looking car as well. I know it’s aimed more at a luxuary ride and it hits that mark perfectly. It’s amazimg how both these cars share a common drivetrain yet drive so differently.
The G80 I drove was pretty much loaded I think the MSRP was 59k. It felt a bit to soft for my liking and I’ll most likely wait for the G70 before I make a move.
On the plus side the car is very nicely appointed for 59k. I can’t think of a European or Japanese competitor that could come close for that money.
The interior was outstanding seats were more comfortable than my old MB S600 and that was a 130k car.
The Lexicon System is maybe the best I’ve listened to in any car. That includes the Mark Levinson System in my Lexus.
For now I would most likely buy the Stinger GT2 but I’ll definatly wait to drive the G70.
