I’m the exact opposite, as long as the car turns out making the power, price, and driving dynamics I am expecting I will be trading my M3 in on one. 

Well said

Northeast US as well; when I moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia many years ago, it took me a long time to get used to the fact that exhaust systems didn’t routinely rust out and need replacement every other year...

N.E. Ohio native, can confirm.

This...............

It’s the upper midwest.  Rust follows us all around.  Like that mayhem motherfucker from the Allstate commercials.

I’m going to bet that it doesn’t come anywhere near the 0-60 time of 5.0 seconds though nor did it have anywhere near 369 lb-ft of torque. Also, the new crop of super luxury barges are simply amazing. Lexus made some great luxury cars, but any luxury car from the 2005 area will drive nowhere near as well as the cars…

Or you can just get an F30 340i M sport and enjoy a car that has the same size, weight 300 pounds less, and has only 19 hp less but more torque, and is faster all around.

This was good enough to read aloud in my office!

Ok, now that was funny.

Shut up. I’m driving.

You must be safe at parties

Huh. I feel like “me too - Acura” sums them up in so many ways.

Jezebel is on the top graphic header.

Ut oh. The health and safety inspector is in the house.

Perhaps we could park this on the border with Mexico. There’s 100' of the trump wall. Bonus, it pretty much sums him up as a person; a warped image of wealth, power and glamour, but ultimately useless.

Tgabk you for writing about this car. I was mildly obsessed with it in fourth grade when I had a Guinness world record book, and had not heard much of it since the late 80s. Granted I did not Google it since, because I did not want to find out itt was not as bannas as I recalled. Thankfully it is bannanas after all.

fair enough - you own the car so you know best. I suppose I was assuming it worked similarly to many Mercedes Benzes which have a similar system, only column mounted.
