Seriously, I'm too old for this shit. The younger generation is too concerned about tech. In a car like the M2 you concentrate on DRIVING THE DAMN CAR.
Ahhhhhh....but alas, the millennial generation is the first generation to ever have less drivers than the one before it. In my experience, people in their 20s don't care about cars in the same way that folks, say 35 and up, seem to.

My love and respect for cars was created out of the close relationship I have with my dad - we spent Saturdays washing the family car, looking at cars on the lots, taking a drive down to the Suds to see what cool shit they had...I don't get the impression that people do that any more. Younger folks are more excited by the whisper-quiet cabin of the latest Prius or Tesla. And while I can appreciate the engineering marvels that those types of vehicles represent, you won't see me in one anytime soon. They just aren't interesting from an experience point of view.

The experience, especially in this segment, is what I would think would drive a potential buyer's decision - and the most important aspect of that experience (in my humble opinion) relates to how the thing drives.

Stepping off soap box.....
