Why do have to say the price with options? Options are things you don't need. That's why they're called options. You're acting like you need to get the options. Nobody is forcing you to spend 70k with options.

actually they discontinued using that slogan-the ultimate driving machine-because it is not! just realize that 2006 evoIX has the same number as the 2009 M3 with its V8?

Don't be ridiculous. The new M3 is a 12.6-12.9 @ 111-112 mph car. It is faster than a stock IX. And don't underestimate its handling capabilities just b/c it weighs 3700lbs. The new Evo X will be close at 3500 lbs.
