Not super informative, but worth the 2 minutes it takes to read:

The M front and rear lower fascia’s go a long way in helping the appearance of the car. I still HATE the clown nose and Z door slash but I kind of realllllllly want one. I will at least test drive it.

MMMM Imola!!

Let me tell you... That roadster in Imola red looks pretty bad-ass. I actually like the dark interior with the fat wheel and M3 seats. My wife doesn't dislike the exterior.

BUT:

-No Euro delivery
-Time-bomb engine
-Not a pretty car

It will be tough to get over these issues. We'll see. I still prefer 987S/987CS, save for the lack of LSD.

It looks about as exciting as playing twister with nothing but guys (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Oh, and I also am still wondering about the time bomb reference to the engines. :dunno:
