Thanks for posting the video. I had not heard of motortrends before. It might be I live under a rock or on the other side of the ocean in Germany and Holland.

Own the car for 4 weeks now, past the break in period since a week and really love this car. Was not my intention to use it as a daily drive but can't resist.

From the info/article regarding the GTS on their website, what I just skimmed through but will read every word of it:

"The car handled so well, it was as if it had downforce."

I think the car has quite some downforce. The steering is relatively light but noticed at high speeds (so far upto 180 mph or 290 km/h), in straight or almost straight line on German highways, the steering becomes very noticeable heavier.

Heavier steering is because of downforce, atleast that explanation was given to me.
