Therefore, sure the M4 is more luxurious, but doesn't mean it's night and day between the M2. In fact, I would want something that is more agile and yet still contain modern comfort amenities.
Another example would be the various 911s you can purchase. A base Carerra or Carerra S are great handling sports cars. But owners often load them up with comfort options and there is nothing wrong with that...you don't really ask them why not just buy a Panamera, instead. Also I've seen Porsche GT cars speced with all leather interiors that are more luxurious than M cars.

Id say a better porsche comparison would be a Cayman S vs a Carrera S
But by and large Cayman/Boxster are bought by people who can't afford 911s.
And yeah...the M2C is another animal altogether |
Makes sense. But isn't the belief that people who buy Caymans/Boxsters are people who can't buy 911s, by and large an old wives tale?
I feel like they're completely different cars and for different purposes. Mid-engine vs. rear-engine have completely different driving characteristics. However, I will give you this, I did consider picking up a 718 GT4 because I can't afford a GT3. But now things change because I need something more "practical" for that cost 😞
