Proof that better weight distrubition = better steady state cornering (.99Gs, vs. .94Gs), although a heavier car. ---

it has a wider track and wider (different) tires too though. I don’t like the 300+ pound increase. The acceleration numbers tell that tale. ---

The tires are 4.26% wider, the car is 10.17% heavier, less tire for the wieght. Besides STEADY STATE cornering is only a function of weight distrubition and tire conrering stiffness (unless there are some funky rear toe gains/loses). ---

Warranty is worst on the new car. I think I will keep my IX (forever) and wait a couple of years for them to work out the bugs on the new platform. ---

It sounds like they are trying to appeal to people like me(Audi, BMW crowd). It seems like every sports car gets more and more “refined”. I remember people bitching about the 911 and how civilized it was becoming, yet it always seems to get faster. Looking at weight and tire size alone is pointless.(Obviously) Besides its not like anyone on here is going to be able to drive the car at those levels anyway. ---
