I cannot speak for the mental capacity of consumers. I-Drive tested VERY well with its demographic. All of hype was created by journalists who spent a couple of hours with the car and were too busy throwing the car around to read the manual. It truly becomes simple. Hell, even my Mom uses and loves it.

The M6 will be out sooner than the new M4 so start savin', its starts @ about a hundred grand. Oh. and expect the price of the forthcoming M4 to be about 15k more than the outgoing model or about 75- $80,000......

Noway that the car is going to be 75-80k...... now thats what the m5 will cost... im sure its going to be a little more than the e46! and i doupt it will be called the m4...

I know. Focus groups tend to not get that much time either, which is why it'd surprise me.

I think the E90 M3 will be similar to the E60 M5 in that BHP will be 100BHP/liter. So if the M3 will get a 4L V8 expect 400BHP.
