Do you think the Aston guy is gonna buy a M6GC? Really?

Aston guy is not price shopping at all, he wants an Aston.

Aston is a niche car. The M6GC is a BMW, just a BMW.

Aston is a fckn Aston. It stands on its own.

You can compare the cars I agree. I just think that BMW is no where close to the prestige of an Aston.

Bentley guy isnt getting a M6GC either.

BMW guy is just stretching his wallet and getting an M6GC. BMW is prob just losing M5 sales for the M6GC.

I dont think BMW is gonna take Aston business or any other niche. Its just a BMW.

I guess time will tell...

Let me say I have an loaded M3 and its nice, but its not a really nice car.

Its not a Porsche GT3 or a 911 Carrera and its certainly not an Aston.
