This is a good point, but only the 4C is "reachable" for the average person, and that is M3 money here...which is really getting to be a lot.

So True!!! Coming out of my Miata and standing next to the 2007-Current M3 i am blown away on how BIG they really are...just toooo big IMO. That being said i alway's loved driving the E46 M3 and actually do like driving the E92 with the V8...lovely engine and driving dynamics but way to big for me...I am sure the current 2016 m3 will be a blast to drive and fast as shit but again my prefernce is small...small with some leg room,shoulder room and a back set for whatever(not people)...maybe some of my music instruments...but the M2 and M235i is as big as I go otherwise,,,,my 2nd choice will be the Porsche 911S used so bring on the M2....No other car BMW makes has me so excited!![/QUOTE]
To me, the E46 M3 was the "perfect" size - hence the main attraction to the M235 and eventually the M2 - but if what we are seeing is correct, we will no longer (at some point in the future) have access to a RWD of that approximate size, weight, and RWD. Just seems crazy to me.
I love the E9X M3s for what they were, but I agree that they are just too big - in fact I was one of the people who went from a E92 to an E82 for that specific reason.
The M2 should truly be interesting - but could mark the end of an impressive era...which is sad.

I think it looks fantastic - it's just on a scale that's too large for me - if they took it and shrunk it down (hence the M2GC idea), they would have the utlimate winner on their respective hands. But alas, it appears we will be denied this treat.
