I couldn't careless about livability, collectability, value, purity, or whatever stupid shit people throw out there about the 1m. Simply put, this thing is a riot to drive at reasonable speeds. The M2 is a better car; but like many new cars, it's too competent to have fun with on a nice road without setting a pace that is on the of verge being reckless.

Gotta agree with those flares, absolutely gorgeous! The M2 flares are much more civilized in comparison.
As for the Elixge safety, there is a reason why they are no longer available in NA. And I like the motorcycle comparison, it's the closest thing on 4 wheels IMO. That Morgan 3 wheeler would be next
