Re your Mustang comment....drove a new GT a few weeks ago. Solid, quick as the mags say but it felt a bit big. And the view over the hood - non existent, felt like I was navigating an '80's luxo-barge until I got used to it. Would no doubt be able to get accustomed to a larger car again but the 2er 's size is just so damned perfect.

I didn't even bother test driving it after I sat in one. Just way too big. Kind of had the same feeling in the F80, but at least that's practical. The Mustang is huge (it does have a giant trunk, I will admit), but the rear seats are worthless.

While there's no denying that the GT350's will be monsters, and I would love to have a high performance car like that, I'm more looking for something on the nimble side, that is compact and just fun. So cars like the M2, Cayman, or cars that would be Z3M's or S2k's.
