Interesting comparison, RS3/M2C/Model3 Performance. Outcome was not what I expected.

You got me there.

Does the EV1 count as the Newton here?

"Is that the lamest comment ever? 'I'm an inline 6 guy.' If you were single that would be on your tinder profile and you'd get nowhere."



Part of me still wants an M2. Not for a daily driver though. It would have to be my 3rd or 4th car.

Missed this earlier. Ever see the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car"? If you recall, GM didn't sell any EV1s...they were all leases and they didn't allow anyone to purchase or keep the cars post-lease. There was a lot of controversy because many leasees wanted to buy them post-lease. It grew into a something of a conspiracy theory movement. It was really something of a thing that was virtually unnoticed in mainstream automotive circles.
