Agree with you 100% here.

Here is where you lose me a bit. I don't think many people (except in US maybe?) are cross shopping German performance/quality with American muscle/garbage. 0-60 times on a piece of paper might be similar or better for some crap Camaro/Vette, but these are a completely different consumer.

I'm not saying the M2/M2C/M2CS is the best car by any stretch, but I for one wouldn't take a free Mustang/Camaro/Vette if it was offered to me. I'm pretty sure that the dash of Barbie's pink Mustang is made of a higher quality plastic than an actual Mustang.
Well I drive a 540 now, if I want a toy car, Corvette would be high on the list (though only if I move out Manhattan...)
