Brakes are gorgeous both front *and* back, which is uncommon. Interior is rich and spacious, with all kind of contemporary tech. And that drivetrain, the performance numbers, that's all really impressive. This car seems like a better version of a modified G37S Sedan, but with AWD, more power and more luxe. In other words, similar to a modded Sport G, but noticeably more in every area.
If they would only offer the 6MT from the base model to the twin-turbo... what a car that would be.
The window trim and that silly boomerang... I'd paint those gloss black immediately.
That's a nice looking car. At this point im torn between that and the TLX. Hoping the Type S ends up being good...
My sole question for the TLX Type S coming up is whether it's RWD based or FWD based. Essentially, is the engine longitudinal or not. Because the exterior is incredible looking (especially the quad exhaust tips). Interior is "fine". Little too busy for me but whatever. SH_AWD only does but so much.

If there is any company that can make a competent FWD bias vehicle it's Honda; the CTR is proof of that. I wouldn't let that dissuade them from consideration.
Here is another rendering of the new STI that is supposed to debut in the second half of next year or later. They now claim it will have 400 hp and 361 lb-ft with a manual transmission. You have my attention. Hopefully, the production model looks a bit less boy-racer.
Did anyone see the M3 Touring pics that came out last week? From the back it looks great for a wagon, but from the front that grille is still awful. There is a very small chance it even makes it to the U.S. It sounds like it will only be AWD and A/T anyway. I can see the draw of a fast wagon if it was your only car and you didn't have an suv in your garage for the few times you haul something truly huge. At the same time, the fold down seat in the M3 should work for most things. I have had my car for almost 5 years now and I wish it had fold down seats for my mountain bike, but I have yet to wish it was a wagon. What do you guys think?
Literally replace the front bumper/grill area and I'm sold. But given that this car will be 70k and the aftermarket bumper will be 2k-5k (just being honest), it's a no go still. The grill is absolutely out of control. The rest is great. Even the headlights.
What a hot mess. Seriously, my first impression was to reel back, eyes wide, mouth open at all the origami ugly.
Then I started looking at this in more detail, and realized the front end isn't designed to hold a license plate, neither European or USD. It's incredibly short-sighted. Very Alfa of them.
Nice looking wheels, though. B1tch to keep clean.
Also, I am so done with boomerang trim in front fenders. Stupid trend.
Just like the new Supra, I agree that this new M3 could benefit a lot from a new front bumper or at least a set of different aftermarket front grilles. This rendering has a wider and shorter set of grilles with vertical slats and I think it is a big improvement. Still not perfect or what one would refer to as "beautiful," but it is better and definitely more aggressive.
If Kim Kardashian was a car, that is what it would look like. I'm sorry, I just can't find the appeal in it. It looks terrible in my honest opinion. Not as bad as the E65 generation, but very close to it. I would go with an E46 instead if I had to choose a 3er even though it is not the fastest. And wow, that thing is bigger than an E39 already. I bet the next generation 3 series will be bigger than an E38.

You should try cleaning style 5 BMW wheels. Those are a real b1tch to keep clean especially if you want it to be perfectly clean.

My Vossens taught me this lesson the hard way. The deep inner lips is s cool looking design, but a total PITA to maintain. Made worse because it's a 10-spoke.
