LOL, sure...people can't afford a $40K Z, evidenced by how many Touring/Sport and navigation-equipped examples you see on this forum.

This is not the matter of people "hating" on the car because it was out of reach. If you have yet to notice, a fully-loaded Touring comes out to a bit more than NISMO and there are plenty of those here. Any other example where you have a better and more expensive trim-level of a given model, though...I would agree with your sentiment. You do see some sense of resentment due to cost putting the car out of reach and senseless excuses to justify the purchase among the more immature crowd arguing 335i vs. M3, base Corvette vs. Z06, A4 vs. S4, etc. However, what those all have in common aside from the Base/Sport vs. NISMO argument is that one is undeniably a better performing car.

Your first post on the forum was a fail.
