It's really unfortunate; although the F22 could've done with a shorter greenhouse and less upright back glass, those traits are also what make it a genuine sedan substitute. That's no longer the case with the G42.

TL;DR: none of this matters, one has a stick and one doesn't
One wonders if there is a stillborn F22 Gran Coupe prototype hidden somewhere in the dark confines of their secret Giftschrank garage.
