Where is solution c) make the M2
faster than M4 and thus also cost more than M4?

Supercars in the 80s were lucky to crack into the 5s 0-60. Today a fast SUV will wipe the floor with them, going low 4s while out handling them. So how fast will tomorrow's SUV's be? As fast as today's supercars- mid 2s to 60. So we'll all be driving Veyrons if this keeps up.
But how much fun is it to drive a Veyron in the US, really? You can use all of a Veryon for about 3 seconds in the US without risking your license. It's an exercise in frustration: as the cars get faster, the fishbowl just gets smaller.

Won't happen, otherwise we'd already all be driving Toyota GT86 and Mazda MX-5, and BMW would have a Z2.
