 Looking and researching the G's from the previous body style I took a dive for this one, and believe me, it's 180 degree turn from their previous model.  Like said before, gotta get the packages. I have the 4wheel active steer pkg (takes corners at whatever speed without body role... good investment), premium, navigation, tech pkg (intelligent cruise control). The shifting and acceleration is as sporty and amazing as driving a little 2dr lotus!! Braking is as smooth and effective as a $100K automobile... and the best part, it's a quiet, sleek, quality car... without shouting for attention like the MB, BMW etc!
