Would you buy this instead if you were buying today?

Funny, it is the car that made me buy my M240i... I drove one during a Toyota track day and really liked it since I wanted to go back to a two-seater. Then I saw the price tag... Did some homework to find more about its BMW boiler and transmission et voilà! Same power feedback for a fraction of the price! They would not keep the back seats though...

It's crazy how we all have different tastes, but it's what makes the world go 'round. It's like the C8; some people rave over it, yet I personally think it's the tackiest looking thing to come out of Detroit in quite a long time. Still love the C6 Z06 to death though, cheap interior and all.

I personally think the pinnacle of Corvette exterior design was the C5. Such classically clean lines. Low and wide. With each generation of Corvette since, GM adds more tackiness. While it's still low and wide, the C8 looks like it's trying to compete with the hot compact segment in tackiness (Civic, WRX, Evo).

It's all subjective though.
