Why flawed? And I'd disagree the plus 8 is a better car than a plus 4, very different yes but not necessarily better? All depends on what the buyer/owner wants.
I'd rather have the plus 4 over the 'new' 8 any day.
Yes but to some the old +8 is a better car than the +4. Ive had 3 4/4. 1 +4 2+8, and the old +8 wins every time....Thats just me.
