The M coupe, despite its ugliness is the best performing M car ever built. Have you driven an Z3M? I have driven both the roadster and coupe. The roadster has way too much flex to be a great sports car. The M coupe is a great car. I love the M3, but it is much more of a GT car, than a sports car. Take an M3 out against an M coupe the M coupe would outperform it anytime.

Never drove a M Coupe. Drove a M Roadster many times though and loved it! I should take a M Coupe for a spin.

You're right. Mitsubishi is huge. They make everything from VCRs to tuna fish. Mitsubishi Motors, however, is a subsidiary that's now over 50% owned by DaimlerChrysler. They used to own 33% and just last year brought the ownership to 50.1% I think. In any case, they're only a subsidiary of the larger multinational juggernaut that, along with Matsushita and Sony run the Japanese economy... :-)</STRONG>

Lets not forget which country invented such things like....
Jet propulsion airplanes, VTOL, air to air missles, swept wing airplanes, and the helicopter...
Yup one country was solely responsible for ALL of those inventions, decades ahead of any other nation... (at least according to the discovery channel)
What country was that?
Germany!
I dunno, I guess I'm a little partial to Germany when it comes to cars as well.

Thats the most BS I've read so far in this thread. How can you possibly compare the CLS to the M3? Sometimes you guys say that you can't, and sometimes an idiot like this says you can.

you had best sit down and shut up, you little chickenshit! who the fuck do you think you are?!? So what if Water S is a newbie? Is it because his opinion didn't have "BMW" in it that you got your titties all upset?
why don't you shut the fuck up, you little homo!!?? go run that M3 into a tree, you lame arrogant fuck. No wonder your girl was cheating on you. she probably couldn't take the constant gloating about your almighty M3. Maybe WaterS is the DJ that is banging your girl.
hew WaterS: do you spin records for a living? have you hooked up with any grief-striken m3 victims lately?
Damaged: your name describes your brain!! the only idiot in here is the one from the village you came from.
and by the way, when are you coming to Jersey so I can kick your pansy ass? or am I goona have to fly out there to Chicago to do it??
whoa! how the hell do I turn this flame thrower off???

Hey!! the french just turned around and dropped their pants when hitler came knocking, didn't even put up a fight!! our faters and grandfathers had to go over there to pull hitler's dick out of their ass.
and churchill was days away from getting his drunk ass handed to him by germany.

StoneCL is right.
"If Japan wanted to make strong cars they can.."
Nowaday, automakers are competing
in the business market and targeting at their sales which means satisfy the customers.
Think about it.

Lets not forget that the French pulled our cahonies out of the fire when the British were about to kick our azz during the Revolution. 
We were just paying them back what we owed them.

And how exactly do you pay someone back who has surrendered and fought alongside the enemy?</STRONG>

"We" in the sense of the USA. So why do you think the USA helped Kuwait? I'm sure the oil had NOTHING to do with it or the fact the USA just wanted an excuse to slap Sadam around.

I don't know what kind of history you had been reading, but the redcoats were getting tired of our guerilla tactics. that doesn't sound like they were kicking ass.
