If "vague steering" or "interior fit and finish" and "brake modulation" are terms you don't care about, your not a true car enthusiast, your just a 'boy racer'. Buy a bike. Getreal, Your dead right, except that Honda and Toyota don't make cars in this performance category. Least till the new NSX comes out. Last comment to "GMSALES". Hate to burst your bubble, but the G8's 390hp will be pushing 4000lbs! It will NOT beat an M3, Period! I doubt it will even beat a 335i. What you DON'T know about cars is on par with what gwbush DOESN'T know about middle east culture. And, BMW, along with all other German car makers, will turn a hefty PROFIT next year. Which is, BTW, the whole point of manufacturing cars. Will GM?? Geez, idiots out in force today.

I sacrificed specifications for brevity. What I meant to say is the Evo IX is faster to 60 by roadandtrack than the BMW sales pitch I read for the new M3. As far as handling is concerned, it's from experience of test driving the existing M3 and the Evo IX, and reading and talking to what others have said about both cars. By the way road and track expects the M3 to get 4.5 seconds to 60. 0.1 seconds slower than the old model Evo IX. Now $30k for the other "stuff", seems way too expensive. I can see reliability being legit reason to spend more, but $30k more? I bought a 6-series and my friend bought a Subbie WRX STi right aroundd the same time. My 6 averages about 1 visit to the dealership every 1.5 months for some mechanical failure. My friend's Subbie hasn't been in zero times for mechanical failure, but only for maintenance. My friend drives his Subbie to the track at least 1-2 times a month. I've only done it about 3 times in my 6 series. He drives his car way harder. So, I don't buy the whole BMW reliability thing. And I should know, I have a BMW. Status image? Okay, I can see that. leelemon,

While the Evo performs well and costs significantly less, it just doesn't offer anything beyond its track performance. People buying M3's don't just want performance, they also want refinement, reliability, and status image; that's why i don't think they mind paying the extra dough.

They're not even really in the same category. The z06, despite its price tag, was designed to compete with much more expensive cars like the viper and 911turbo. And have you ever shopped for a new z06? The price tag is NOT 65k like some of you suggest. The base MSRP is actually 70K, but in reality you probably won't be able to find a base z06 for lower than 80k. You should be comparing the M3 to cars like the Audi rs4, MB 63AMG, or Lexus IS-F instead. The M3 will perform and be priced more similarly to those cars. 60-65k is actually a very good price since the M3 is similarly powered compared to the 66k rs4 and the M3 will also be lighter. Dealers will surely mark up the price for an M3, but this can be avoided if you get on the dealer's waitlist, which guarantees an MSRP price tag. Why the hell are you guys comparing a M3 with a z06?

Any article on a particle vehicle always breaks down to them against us argument. Back to the article I agree that the price will come in around 57.5-67k. For myself I can't wait for the M1 or M2. That will be more in my budget. I do love this site.

The new M3 is hardly comparable to the old, in fact the future M1 will be much more comparable to the current M3 but forced to wear a lower price point being a "lesser" 1-er.

The article is not about Pontiacs, Z06's or other brands/models. Lets stick to commenting on the article subject which is the potential US cost of the new M3. I think the writer is close to actual 2008 M3 pricing. These comments have gone way off topic. The article is not about Pontiacs, Z06’s or other brands/models.

And a BMW would smoke a Pontiac, and by GM SALES saying otherwise is in effect calling every single car magazine and car person in the world liars, stupid, and that they don't know shit.

Point 2

I like my new 335i better than the old M3 as a daily driver and as a torque possessed passing machine. I love both the Z06 and th eM3, but I can only have one, and my little man needs a back seat.

People are going to start seeing through you pretty soon, and then you won't be able to stir up more anti-GM sentiment using your little character. Pity. Me personally, I'd rather wait for the G8 to be released, order in the GenTT twin turbo kit used with the Commodore, and still save money overall. 600-700rwhp Pontiac sedan with a stick? What Pontiac should've been all along? Oh yes, please. GM_Sales, you’ve lost a little bit of your touch.
