That is certainly a lateral move. 

Because Ford had this in its history to build from, and that kind of heritage matters to buyers at this level:

Yeah, my sister runs a salon in LA, too. I had a stylist girlfriend several years ago who drove a Z3 and then a Z4. 

Agreed, although I think my relatively recent ‘12 135i has a pretty functional and simple interior, albeit not beautiful or anything. Granted, I made a point to buy one without nav, because the screen just ruins everything.

Or maybe you need to extend your grooming needs outside of Supercuts?  Good hairstylists in nice cities charge hundreds per cut.

I actually love the looks of this car in white, and I’d be thrilled to row that gated shifter, but CP for Beverly Hills Car Club. That thing probably has cocaine encrusted, severed body parts stuffed under the seats.

They may be assuming the woman also weighs 600 pounds.

What, are you talking drag racing? I’m talking about, you know, actual racing around a track, in which some M3 buyers thankfully still participate.

I must admit, I’m not sure I’m man enough to be a Porsche guy anymore. After owning a 911 and then a Cayman (both purchased used,) I was surprised just how much attention the cars got, and much of it was negative attention. I’m not an aggressive driver in town, and cars wouldn’t let me in, I’d get flipped off for no…

This almost seems like an SNL parody commercial to me, particularly the violinists staring at each other.

Yep, you can pair more than one Apple Watch. 

I think it’s a little more nuanced than that. This is still the fastest road-legal 911, at least so far: link

No kidding. I’m currently going through the process of de-runflat-ing my 135i.  New tires, new rear subframe bushings, M3 arms and sway, etc.  

I know we make a lot of jokes around here about the 911 being a Beetle, but, I have to admit, the modern Beetle and 911s have gotten so big that I almost wish Porsche would take the current Beetle and resurrect it as a new 911 alternative.  It would only be slightly larger than a 911SC.

I was thinking more “universally panned” by those with eyes. If sales are your barometer, then the 996 was the most beautiful 911 when new, and Brittany Spears was once one of the world’s greatest musicians.

Whatever. Camaros have come standard with red necks for decades.

Oddly enough, when I see them now, the front bothers me the most.
