I think he has to serve his decade or two in the purgatory of owning a Toyota before he is allowed one of those.  If he got one before he grows up he'll only kill himself in it and we will miss all his political and financial thoughts and that would be a shame.    :D ;)

Do you mean Toyota Sienna?  :)   

I guess he could dump a few gold bars for AMG badge.  ;)

I have not driven (or seen) the coupe.  And the M3 is one of my favorite V8s money can buy.  But I gotta tell ya...I drove a C63 Sedan with Performance Package last year (white on white), and the engine is EPIC.  I know that word gets overused....but in this case it fits.  Just HUGE torque everywhere, anytime.  Massive torque, actually.  If I was spending days at the track (or if I could wind the engine out all the time!), I prefer the M3.  But for the road and the day to day slog, the massive torque of the C63 is really tough to beat.

I agree. A friend has the sedan and the engine is heart stopping. He paid $60K flat for his car and I can't imagine more engine for the money.

EXACTLY what I was thinking!  With the Performance Package, he paid less than an M3.

One of these days, Jimbo, but not today.

I think fully loaded this comes in a hair under a loaded M3? Although in reality the AMG Dev package is just pure gravy...

If only they could figure out how to build it without a B-pillar while keeping the rigidity.....

Think how much closer to reality this would be had you not bought the Beemer... ;D

But I like the Beemer. :)

More a question of "is it that time in life" than "do I have the change", at least in some ways. In other ways its never easy to part with $75k.
