Along these lines, people are discounting the GS F before it is even released (because of the power delta). So power definitely sells cars although I think the GS F will be more fun to drive than its competitors precisely because it will have less power (meaning you'll be able to exploit its potential a bit more).

I can sorta understand it for a mid-full size car like the GS actually. You most likely aren't going to be doing any hooning a big car like that anyway so it may as well be stupid fast in a straight line.
I think even worse is all of the AWD performance cars coming out. How boring must it be to drive something like an RS5 everyday, you'd have to be going absurdly fast to get it to do anything even remotely exciting. I just don't understand how someone buys an AWD car (I kinda understand the GTR and 911 Turbo) over something that you can just coerce into a bit of slow, controllable oversteer.
