A new, fast, manual shooting brake...
 
...is a car I wish existed. Probably won't ever again in the US, will it?

:D

EDIT: Fail. Not a manual. :(

Apparently Mini will offer the Clubman with a manual in the 2021 model year.

I think that's the closest you can get. The auto version John Cooper Works has 301hp and does 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. Not too shabby.

Not manual or new, but noteworthy: https://gearpatrol.com/2020/05/07/te...hooting-brake/

Just wanted to follow up and say the 1st generation M Coupe was one of the very best cars I've driven, and I've only driven the S52 version.

More cars like that please.

Was just curious about used values for those. DAmn- they have fallen off a cliff and go for around 100k (I think they were around 300k new?). I wonder where they will bottom out- maybe there's a sweet spot where you could own 1 for a year or 2 and not lose money.

Not lose money in keeping it as a paperweight or not lose money while actually putting miles on and maintaining that Ferrari V12?

Ha I should’ve said “not lose too much”.
