What things don't you like in the G70?

[LandOfConfusion]

I do. Hence the post.

He’s got a point.

The fuel door being plastic doesn’t bother me a whole lot, but I was concerned that it rests against the pump handle during fueling. I discovered there’s a detent at the end of the travel if you just push the door open all the way.

That’s a little bit of redemption for the fuel door. And, at least it won’t rust like on the last GM product I bought.

I had the same impression. My RAM has a metal fuel door as did my Camaro SS 1LE. Maybe they're trying to save weight... hahahaha

You'd be amazed at how they look for weight savings so yes, it may be a factor

Porsche GT2 got rid of their badge on the hood and replaced it with a sticker to save weight !

The fuel door does feel cheap, but then I got used to it and stopped caring. The indicator stock is definitely something that I'm keeping an eye on though. Super cheap feeling.

...indicator stock...

Turn-signal stalk?

Hmm, I actually like the feel of it. Movement is smooth and solid.

Wonder how much a wallet or phone weighs? Should probably leave those at home to gain a few 100 kg/m3s...

I was behind that car just the other day! I didn't know the story behind it. I thought it was great.

It was a mom that carted her kids around. She had it for 15 years and at renewal time the state decided that it was no good since it referred to body excretions so offensive. Some politician went to bat for her after some publicity.

Wish the left headliner was indented to install the grab handle there.

Cant do that, they want you to have both hands on the wheel at all times... lol

I laugh, but I'm sure some safety regulation somewhere details that. My truck has a driver side grab handle though.

I don't think there is a regulation against them.

I've had multiple cars that have had driver's side grab handles....

Agreed. The one on my Infiniti was horrible. I missed the Honda one I had before, which was a quality stalk.

Probably Demographics. The G70 is sold you younger driver that are agile and easily pop in and out. The G80 has them as we are older and need them to get up so we can grab a cane or walker when we get to the arthritis doctor. .
