I only voted yes to see the plaque.

Probably not, as the NA I6 engine is notoriously hard to gain noticeable extra power. It can be chipped for better throttle response and mapping, but no real gains in pure power more than ~10hp / 8 ft lbs.
Just inquiring, how did you calculate the economy? It's almost impossible to estimate actual fuel costs unless you're doing it by personal experience, ie actual delta of 87 vs 91/93 fuel, highway vs city driving, temperature fluctuations, how each vehicle stacks up against their EPA numbers.
While your statement's mostly true, how did that aura of superiority and the basis for "The Ultimate Driving Machine" first arise? It came from the BMW being a superior premium product at a premium price. The 2002's, e30's and E28's cemented the reputation. If (and it's a huge "if") Caddy can continue their product…
I'd have to agree. Went to two Caddy dealerships when making my last buying decision, and they had the air of an old steakhouse that hadn't done a revision since the mid-80's.
The new F-based 3 and 4 series are seriously lacking in the dynamics department. While not as idiotically dull as the 5 series, the 3's and 4's are much less involving than the ATS. However, the BMW engines and transmission (ZF vs GM) are better than their Caddy counterparts. So, it's based on what your priorities…
Creating "some bullshit thing on the computer" is an elite teen skill, and I am very glad that Mo has mastered it.
Sid's been absent from the G column for a while so I'm pretty sure the face growth is because, as Benny Lovejoy so accurately pointed out, "they said the pressure would make it grow..."
Pretty derrn close, though I think some fine-tuning could be included in the cost factor, and possibly some sort of chart and/or alternate list for something other than the top choice.
My pops bought a swanky Jag in the early 90's as his dream saloon, and I sh*t you not the "check engine" light came on 100 yards after exiting the dealership's driveway.
So, is this a case of penny wise and pound short with this particular dealership? I mean, the markup gives the dealership AND Dodge a black eye in terms of PR, thus will the Dodge main office refuse to give preference to this dealership for future high-demand models?
But right now, it would cost $50,000 – half of what people would pay
The e30 M3 is considered great by every writer on Jalop. I don't necessarily agree with them ( I actually prefer the e28 M5) but see this:

Not necessarily; the majority of slick video productions, especially those featuring non-supercar classics (Dinos, 912s, e30 M3's, etc) and even the posts by Tavarish accentuate how a little elbow grease and online search proficiency makes it easier and cheaper to upkeep these older vehicles. I never see articles…
I would love to see a Jalop Answers of the Day : Great Cars that just aren't worth the hassle to own. Be it maintenance cost, unfair stereotypes (looking at you, Bimmer), other cars that are better options, overall pain of buying/selling one, etc. etc. This particular Ferrari would have to be somewhere near the top.
Well, they're a helluva lot better than New York. I'm guessing whoever approved the redesign must have thought "Piss Yellow and Dead Hooker Lips Blue perfectly captures the image of New York State!"
Best is the woman crossing the street that almost gets crushed by the revving GTR.
But your fan base whines like no other when it comes to [insert anything].
