Okay, call me a Luddite, but why so much technology? It adds countless weight to the car, requires more power to drive and in some sense detracts from the visceral sensation of well you know...DRIVING THE DANG CAR! I hope they did not throw a slew of electric nannies as Nissan did with the GTR!
just get a base model if loads of tech bothers you.

see above. and it's a luxury car and has to be competitive with features.

Where is the market for it? I would love to see published numbers by any maker that shows breakdown of sales by package. I would bet that the meat n' potatoes of the sales come from the base to mid-luxury packages. Anyway, it's good to see the newer version becoming less pudgy and more athletic...the weight savings will hopefully be reflected in the performance and MPG numbers.
same drivetrains so i wouldn't expect major bumps.
Thanks, was hoping I missed a release, that's disappointing.
On a side note:
Doesn't look like there will be much room for slightly modding the body (TTE lip, etc). Seems you either will go all in or you won't. Which is probably a good thing as it leaves less room for questionable tastes to enter the equation
