Actually, what you should have made bold was the top priority part. |

-Purpose-built with balanced performance and/or driving-dynamics being the top priority
If BMW's balance OR driving dynamics don't qualify for this, WHAT THE HELL DOES? You can't just build a car, and THEN decide to make it handle. That's where the honda ricers are screwing up. And by your definitions, most Ferrari's won't fit, nor a CCX, nor an F1. A porsche is mid/rear engined... and are FAMOUS for making people lose it in the corners. A Viper.. I've never seen one complete a track day without a MAJOR failure. Plus.. 8.4Liters, but 600horsepower? BMW gets 500 out of 5! |

It was more of a reference to how bad the american manufacturers are.
I've never owned anything less than a 6cyl/200hp car(z31). The versa rental I had was terrible enough I'm still waiting to hear what really is a sports car. |

by the way e39 m5 = sport/ luxury 370z= sport 911 turbo= sport but just because the e39 m5 is sp/lux doesnt mean its not a sports car. its a luxurious sports car. the e39 body m5 is one of my favorite cars out there. if i was rich i would pay bmw to make me a brand new car with the body of the e39 m5, but im not and im not buying a used sports car |
