A matter of taste, obviously, but a) G05 front end is horrible, and b) interior is really dependent on options.

I'm riding a loaner G05 for the last few days and while like any brand new car it pleases you with quietness and almost no rattles, if you have a heavily optioned F15, aside from larger screens, the G05 interior won't really all that impress you unless it's specked comparably.... and then you check the MSRP and just shrug. The virtual cockpit or whatever it's called is just confusing, you end up searching for info - usually speed,- and then just hope it's still there the next time. Gauges are very difficult to read quickly. Yes, it's the future and all that, but there are much better implementations.

Power lower tailgate is cute, but can't help but wonder how long before it starts rattling. The side lights are just too much. Return to the regular blinker switch is a step back - but again, it's a personal preference. Engine autostop works very seamlessly and even haters will finaly accept it.

Overall, obviously G05 is newer and thus better... but that front end, oof.
