    Just in time to be put away in the garage due to snow! Absolutely love this thing.

    Best shifter feel I've ever driven. Car is more than fast enough for me coming from my slow af cars lol.

      I like that color a lot, especially with those black mirros.

      Congrats.

        I don't know, VW just always seems to make underpowered cars. Nothing I'd call a fast dad wagon.

        380hp B58.. People seems to be raving about this chassis too, comparing it to the beloved previous generation. Looks are also growing on me..
        I like the B58, but the Nissan Altima styling doesn't do it for me.​ I do like the last gen ones a lot though.

          The new 2 is definitely not a good looking car. BMW's latest styling revision in general is a horror show. I've seen all of them aside from the electric models and M2 and only the 3 and 5 series approach decent. The bucktooth models are universally ugly. No, they aren't growing on me. Waiting to see the M2 to see just how bad the roblox styling looks in person, no interest in ever seeing the electrics, from the pics they're catastrophically ugly in comparison to the Lucids I've seen up in the northern end of the county.

          Nice, I saw one just like that up at tail of the dragon last week. Some youtuber or something was reviewing new cars, I think the new toyobaru, Z and alfa SUV. The shifter in the toyobaru has to be on another level coming from old BMWs which are just terrible.

            They killed one of their last "good" looking cars with the 2 Series restyling. The previous one actually looked nice. Some angles were still odd, but their styling decisions and design are so blah to me.

            The new Prius I think looks better than basically any new BMW. "How the turntables have turned."

              If we were all smarter people, we'd just be driving one of those. The new 86/BRZ looks like a much better polished packaged than the previous gen.

              I really like them, and in person they look a bit more premium for sure.

                      It’s a pity Hyundai haven’t continued development of their Vision 74 concept. The ionic 6 is meant to be based on it, but the styling went backwards. It’s a much better retro attempt than the M2. The continual references by BMW to the e30 M3 in its marketing are

                        I love the Vision Concept. Would buy.

                        Their Ioniq 5 and 6 are both cool, but this is the beez kneez.

                          I didn't even consider BMW with what they are currently offering. The M2 was/is one of my favorite cars they've produced and now I am just disgusted with the current offerings.

                                It's butt-ugly. It looks like they mixed the last gen M2 with an E30 M3, late '90s Galant VR4 and threw away all of the good parts. If you're going to do a blocky looking car with flares how about a little less increasing the thickness slider and a little more Lancia 037.
