Maybe I'll just look into an srt8 jeep haha

Well mercs are a lot more reliable than they used to be. Not a fan of 'em myself either. Thinking RS5 or Cayman, maybe a 911. Maybe.

Naturally they all have electric steering. Go figure...

the ATS now comes in a coupe and looks sharp. i'd give that car a few years to get more refined and if bmw doesn't address their issues (and their msrp) their sales will peak and start dropping. they seem to be priced for lease only. who wants to pay $50K for a turbo 4?

they are appealing to the masses and not just the typical bmw demographics, but the masses expect japanese level of quality and the bmw brand isn't there.

The E9x isn't raw, lol. But yeah, BMWs are getting more and more watered down with each generation. The E9x is pretty muted compared to say, the E30 or E36.. it feels like a sportier 5 series.

Well yeah. If it were it wouldn't need to be so crazy mod'ed. And then it's as raw as ya wanna be. Sportier 5 series is a great description though actually.

I would take a G over a E90/F series if I could.

raw as in I can actually hear the engine growl

100% agree, kinda sad to see the new M3 with electronic steering and turbos. Ofc still a beautiful machine but I prefer the e90 setup.

Mike. · 08-18-2014, 10:52 PM

well I test drove the new c class today... and a g wagon.. the g wagon was a BEAST
