I actually prefer turbo engines to NA. They to me seem to have better fuel economy and good longevity. Not a popular opinion but I think the NA obsession perhaps is warranted on these large V10s or V8s, but here I think we are splitting hairs and 6cyl is great in either form.

As for hydraulic power steering, not gonna argue at all. in terms of feel it is nicer.

But ask yourself - if you have these cars stare at you, but are identical underneath, in terms of specs and so on? Which would you take? one that looks like E46 or G87?

The time for G87 design is not come yet. In 20 years it will be super liked I bet, but today it is bit hard to stomach as E46 is still a recent memory reference point and one can still see quite a few of E46s around.
