    Yup, look at the new 7 series for instance, it's too meet all the Euro pedestrean (I know I fucked the spelling) crash regs. And I don't like it.

    Other than that it's cool I guess. Just looks disproportionate with that front end.

      Yawn. Yet another 500 hp waste of time you'll never touch much less ever see in person.

      Let me know when BMW or mercedes comes out with an all manual car that weighs under 3000lbs and is under 30k with 200hp. Manual seats, manual climate control etc. Modern performance and reliability with old school feeling.

      Edit: Oh yeah, it was called the honda S2000

        Unfortunately that era is long dead. I think we all would like it to come back but with less people interested in cars, and their needs for more safety and toys, cars are only going to get heavier, get larger tires, and get more power.

          So many of use trash the size/weight/luxuries of new cars but how many of us have driven a brand new m3 or 500hp mercedes.

          I think it would be interesting given a choice, if they were the same cost, which you'd choose.

          Now me, being 20, and not having driven a brand new car nicer than a 528 or miata Ic an't tell you which I choose. But I'd bet I'd rather have an e92 m3 to a mazda miata.

          e92 m3, big car, big hp, big tires.

          miata, 2500lbs, manual, 170hp.

            I'm sure they are very impressive and comfortable.

            And expensive.

            If it was the same cost, sure I'd have an e46 M3, e39 M5, AMG mercedes SLK, Alpina 3, tc motorsports z4, 911 turbo 'vert etc. Sadly, they are not.

            And no, even if I had the money, I just wouldn't own one of the mega cars.

              Having driven many new M3's, I can verify that it's a hell of a fucking car. I don't know anybody who has been left feeling disappointed after driving one (except for the guy coming out of a Ford GT...)

                Truth, I actually thoroughly enjoy driving all of BMW's latest lineup, minus the verts.

                The SLS is stellar. Looks great, surely drives great. I'm impressed.

                  Agreed.

                  The only thing I like about the car are the doors and the exhaust tone. Other than that it's ugly as sin.

                    They should build it in a roadster. Looks good though but it would have to be in Silver.
