Daaamn Motor Trend, back at it again comparing cars nobody would ever cross shop.
Nobody who appreciates fine engineering would be caught dead in a mullet muskle car. |

Just an M2 tangent here -
I feel BMW is going to screw early M2 owners royally. I'm guessing a ZCP version with carbon fiber roof is in the works. Aren't they already using the S55 in the LCI or something like that? |

There will always be something newer and better coming out. I'm sure the early M2s will still put plenty of smiles on faces

I think the values of the '16/17 cars will stabilize after the LCI. They will bump up a bit when that CSL/GT4 whatever version comes out because it will be at least 20k more than I spent for mine. I don't feel screwed at all. At that price point, a year old 991 or my favorite 997 GTS would be in my sites. Plus few will get that top M2 for MSRP. So we're at 30k difference but I have full maintenance. I'm good.

This is pointless. Anyone who is considering the M2 would never buy a V6 Camaro. However, the V8 Camaro would whip up on the M2 in every possible way so I guess that is not a fair comparison either.

I hate MotorTrend more than any car other journalists. Their reviews are always ridiculous, they don't compare cars that make sense to compete with each other and they consistently hate on BMW and favor American cars just because they are from the US. Plus that douche with the beard drives me nuts. Annoying.

That douche is a certified no-talent ass-clown. Johnny Lieberman is his name and he single handedly negates the little credibility MT has.

Sorry, buying a Camaro with a v6 should be illegal. Same for a 2 wheel drive Jeep. The V8 1LE is what should have been compared.
Edit: front wheel drive BMWs should also be illegal. |

I don't like these two guys. They're into the brand of overdone journalism that has them squealing like schoolgirls at a nail party, they're not very good drivers and they are biased.
They should just move in together and start a motor sports oriented cupcake shop or something.

I doubt the M2 will be that much of a change. maybe the new S55 with the same HP, or oOoO...a CF roof. That is like getting new headlights and taillights...OoOo. As someone already stated, there will always be something new and improved. It's like asking "do you feel screwed not waiting for a 2018 F80 witht he new LCI lights and black seat logos?" Well then... |

Carlos is tops. Perhaps he's too objective, level headed, and downright knowledgeable for MT to use him for these head to heads.

I drive a 7 series so I favor BMW as a brand but spending $12K more to get a car that doesn't match the Camaro SS performance has got me questioning my decision. |
