It was not a "test" under some false set of idillic test conditions. It was merely a first impression on a morning with wet weather and imperfect road conditions typical of the PNW during this season.
Finally, I am not comparing RWD to AWD. I am merely relating that on that day and in those conditions, that G42 was very impressive - it provided more tactile feedback and, given the apparent direction of the overall product line, it was more of a driver's car than I expected.
My only observation relevant to the M2C is that, as someone who owns and appreciates an M2C, the G42 felt like a legitimate and capable platform on which to base the next M2.
I expect subsequent impressions of others to vary.
