I would like one and know many guys that would.
The problem is that the lay-out of the vehicle and interior ergonomics are terrible. The lack of leg space in the rear seats are the problem!
Honda Accord has pretty much the same length and very few can touch the bottom of the leg area in the front when the seat is max rear, and there is still space in the back. At a normal setting (and I am pretty tall) in the rear there is a normal space for an adult to sit comfortably on a long trip.
They engineer it wrong and that is the issue.
And, the Gran Coupe ended up too long for the same reason.

When I say no one wants a coupe, I just mean market trends have shifted, hence the SUV revolution. The number of people who want coupes these days are becoming slimmer and slimmer. You definitely are correct about this cars packaging, it is very tight for such a large car. In my opinion the best version of the 8er is the vert, although top has to be down otherwise it isn't pretty, but truthfully I would hands down take an S-Coupe or 911 over any form of 8er.
