i think its awful.. the hood line in profile is just bad. the side vent is gimmicky and seemingly unnecessary, and also just silly looking. and then KOTR is right, needs a stick. not the crappy 8 speeds auto that has gotten such awful reviews.

Little overdone, but I'm sure one drive and all excesses will be forgiven.
Toyota, please offer a manual as an option and make this a true contender in the supersedan segment.
I will be very surprised if the new M3 comes with anything other than the 7sp SMG box
true i think with a propper gearbox, it will give the M3 a good run 4 the money...but think it looks better then tha e90...now lets se how the coupe will look...
Why that lousy blue? Here's a good color to start M3 hunting with....
[QUOTE=NSXType-R]Actually, I think it's a step in the right direction. Maybe not the best of steps, but a first nonetheless.
How much power is this thing packing anyway?[/QUOTE]
It's rumoured to have 425bhp, but as jinst4 said, the official line is over 400bhp. In my opinion this car has nothing worthy or different or new to make it a winner. The Audi S4/RS4 have brilliant built quality, Quattro 4-wheel drive (classic Audi trademark), and [I]that[/I] engine in the case of the RS4. The Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG has probably one of the most charismatic V8 in production now and they are the original super saloon makers. And the BMW M3 has racing pedigree a lot of (clever?) technology.
Plus, as has been said, it's overdone and it only comes as an auto. I could be wrong, but this is my opinion.

Next time you post my photos kindly mention where you obtained them

It's a Lexus, so it'll be brilliantly built, and handle exceptionally well despite not having AWD, and Toyota V8s aren't exactly underachievers.
Though I can't argue with BMWs racing background, though how much of it affects the new M3 is something yet to be seen.

You're right, however in my opinion this still has no charisma... :(

Yeah, you're probably right there. Still wanna see how it goes though.

They could certainly do a manual for it, although you're right, it probably will have an automatic. The way I see it, there are no other Japanese car manufacturers trying to step into the market at all. So you gotta give them some credit for trying at least. :p

Not probably, but rahter for sure, as the press release states so and the pictures of the interior show and automatic gearbox gear lever.

They could always add one later on, as with the M5. Popular demand can work wonders. ;)
In any case, one can always hope. :D
