Thank you Charlie. So when we are supposed to be able to buy/lease the car in the States?

4.9 sec is not realistic. The best time I got on my G90 was 5.4 after multiple runs. This car is pretty heavy and the shifting is not fast enough. Manual shifting does improve the 0-60mph time by about 0.2 seconds. On the other hand G80 (with 5.0L engine) was capable of doing 5.1 sec 0-60 mph

I don't worry about 0-60 times. The G90 is a Luxury Car, NOT a Dragster.
