-I would love to have G60, nothing beats forced induction.
-I would also HATE to have to rebuild the charger every 60k.
Take those two into account and decide. If I knew I could pay some extra cash to rebuild it, I would go for G60.

can someone explain why "rebuilding the supercharger" costs so much? Isn't it a little impeller in a metal housing???
