"strongest M car line up yet"

We went from lightweight (relatively) roadsters and coupes with raw inline-6 motors and 6-spd transmissions to oversized turbo charged v8 sedans and SUV's with automatic transmissions.

M3 is on it's last year... the only M cars I see are the M5, M6, X5M, X6M.

M is definitely not about motorsports anymore, it's about selling fancy exclusive marketing badges to the rich... not that I wouldn't be doing the same if I was running the business but it's hard to get excited about cars as such.

I can only hope the next M3 will bring some excitement back to the brand.
