I thought the opposite...it is overwhelming, but not in a good way. It is overwhelmingly bulky and fat. An obese Ferrari.

well, they still managed a decent car --they aren't kidding anyone that it's a supreme GT on par with an aston.

i have high hopes that BMW will have a new M5 that has two more cylinders but is lighter than the e39m5. i think they're are target.
