You're very hung up on the Prius. I think you secretly wanted one and your dad came home with an M3 for you instead. You've been a bitter little boy ever since.

When did I insult him? Uptight is not an insult, and I was clearly referring back to my joke in the brake comments. Maybe you should have minded your own business.

M3 is also pretty damn small inside, the Merc actually has less interior volume than a Civic. The S5 is fine in front, IMO.

Pretty amazing how much this reaffirms that I have yet to meet anyone from USC with half a working brain in their heads.

they are selling out! M cars should get their own engines. The new 1 series M is a joke!! Even their new designs are not as good as the E46's, E38's, & E39's let alone the new Audis.

Isn't the whole point of going twin-turbo avoiding lag?

the N54 doesnt have lag but the N63 V8 does. I'm more annoyed that they are just tweaking mainstream engines instead of at least extensively modifying them like AMG and Audi RS.

I totally agree. Poor punctuation and spelling annoy me too... But if you're going to criticize someone for their grammar, try not to make your own grammatical mistakes.

I think the GS-F would be a sweet car; however, I doubt they will put the LF-A V10 engine in it. Why spend $275k+ for the LF-A when you can have the same engine in a sub $100k GS-A. I really don't forsee the LF-A selling that well anyways..

But another M5 fighter would just cause BMW to fine-tune the beast

He's right, http://www.caranddriver.com/features...p_2011-feature

True, the early IS-F were getting schooled by the M3 and even the C63; but the F department at Lexus has stepped up their game. The M3 is still slightly faster... but not by much.

The LFA was a lease only vehicle through Lexus directly with limited numbers and ALL of them were spoken for prior to release.

Uh... You can still get an LFA. They were never sold out and Lexus is still trying to get rid of them. www.lexus.com
