It bigger inside, faster, cheeper 
have a look at the vid. I think the vid is well made.
As for the car I still go for the E60, still the King on the road no matter how much it cost.

SEIKO makes some real good watches which are more functional , cool looking,more features etc than a Breitling or Panarai or even Rolex...... but you dont decide to buy the SEIKO if you could do you? ---- btw I wear a $45 Timberland watch... so far the most expensive watch I have lol.....so not making fun of ppl wearing non expensive watches.... just wanted to make the point of all these cars comparing to the E60

The G8 is not available with NAV or even SAT radio. There are no adaptive headlights, no active suspension, no heated steering wheel, no SMG type tranny (or even a manual transmission until the fall). . .
It's fast. That's about it.

All these accolades are nice and im sure the Nascar base will love the car but it's still a Pontiac and not so appealing in my book. It just may be a very nice car though to some. Others wont think so. I think it's competition will be the dodge srt products.

There is no comparison. It is a different class of car. Sure it may be fast and cheap. But those who buy BMW's are not the same buyer that would buy a pontiac. This car will appeal to those looking for raw hp numbers and not the total package. Although it is a bit erie how similar this thing looks like a bimmer.
