My biggest disappointment is that it's not AWD/4WD. All the manufacturers use the same damn ZF tranny so why couldn't they copy-pasta what the M5 is running in it but instead of the unreliable s63, I could get that LT5. Imagine.
I'd absolutely buy a blackwing over a m5 if it was AWD, because that thing with a 2650 would be an absolute riot.
Edit: I completely discount C&D reviews now after driving all the exact cars that they do. I thought he new RS7 was pretty composed, but pretty much more of the same as the old one. I'm sure the blackwing is the same shit as the last gen CTS-V - usual chevy interior, stupid electronic gimmicks that don't quite work (The rear view mirror that's a camera for example) but has an amazing power plant and mediocre suspension tuning. They poo-pooed on my x5m too because it "doesn't give the sensation of speed" that the RSQ8 did. No shit, because it's made to go fast all the time. I'm sure the new g8x platform will be "too heavy" even though it's probably going to be a modern day GTR.
