Agreed. The Model 3 would look really nice if the canopy wasn't so damn tall. If the roof line was 3" shorter, it would look sexy.

This is not the Performance version, so its competitor would properly be a 340i. Only it's not. This car handles like an E36. It is faster than 340i.
I have no doubt the thing is quick and strong to 60-80mph, but E cars don't have a ton of topend compared to their impressive 1/4 mile times. I've seen an owner test of the Model 3 at the track and it was doing low 13s@104mph. That means the mags will see low to mid 13s at 102ish. That's impressive; however, a standard 340i 8AT is a low 13 second at 108mph car. 4mph in the 1/4 mile is a pretty steady walk.
