There're more than a few ways of looking at the M2 CS' value.

One dimension is to think of it as a short wheel-based M4 ZCP with a more cheaply made cabin, definitely a poor value at 84K.

However, if you cost break down the CS treatment, it is actually a good value package to the M2 Competition which is a good value to start with. As we know with the 911, no one loads up an S to be a GTS. It'd only cost a lot more trying and end up a wannabe.

Some are concerned the M2 CS is a poor value because of the dealer markup. If that happens, then it's instantly a success.

Lastly, the competitions. Why did M4 GTS and M3/4 CS fail? Because they entered the wrong market - the 911 GT3 and GTS territory. The M2 CS does not have such threats, at 84k it's not even the 992 base start money.

Who hates the M2 CS?
1) M2C/M2OG owners trying to justify their purchases.
2) The buyers that want to pay less.
3) The buyers that thought/wish they can afford it.

Although there is no serious competitions in the market, the market for a sporty 84k 2er isn't that big. But 2200 buyers globally? 84k is not all that big money either.
