It looks cool, and that's what we wanted.

For better visibility, the G8 excels.

Hey, as long as it looks good! That seeing everyone else on the road while you're driving thing is overrated.

True about that gangsta style seating. I guess it's a generation gap thing, but I just can't understand when I see a person driving a car with the seat reclined almost all the way back!!!

I just want to get out of my vehicle and slap them.

You gotta drive it Nascar style with the steering wheel almost in your chest!

Guess everyone has their own preference on driving and how they feel comfotable, but I just don't understand it.

agggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I actually worked on some of the busiest CA freeways, I certainly know what you mean. You just have to go with the car that makes you the most comfortable.

the visibility you will get used too I have only driven mustangs for the last 4 years and the switch was very easy for me im already used to it just keep driving and it will feel natural and probably actually make you a safer driver.
