I doubt that most will ever sit in the driver seat anyway so if anything it's the driver that has to deal with it.

As for why someone will get this over a G30, the G30 standard wheelbase is over 100,000 RMB more than a long wheelbase G20. They also need to watch out for the engine displacement as going over a certain amount will bring a crazy amount of taxes.
Its the cost, and also the "status". Can't get a G30 when your boss has one. Gotta have more levels, to manage the hierarchy.
I can get the base G30 if my boss gets the M550i I think the communists hierarchy will allow that.
What will happen if my boss drives a Yugo
Luckily here in the west we can drive nicer cars than our boss.
