Pricing and ordering details will be announced closer to the 2020 M2 CS's launch in spring 2020.
I don't know about you all, but at the price point this car is being pushed at there's not enough innovation going on.
For example:
1. Lack of HUD
2.
ACTUAL weight reduction
3. Track ready car (I'm certain this car is tuned just good enough) with real suspension work
4. How about at the least coating that cow udder black??? Its not hard!
5. On that same line, that looks like the regular exhaust.. Not even an Mperformace exhaust eh?
6. Why not add some of their bucket seats? They are plug and play. Rear seat delete option maybe?
I'm not in the market for this car, and if I were, I would look at other offerings. It's just an M2C with a side of rice.
