Long live the manual, rear-wheel drive M3!

I generally agree with you, but the exception was the Mitsubishi Evo. On the other hand, since the M3 will never be set up for gravel/low grip conditions where ability to rotate is paramount, an AWD M3 will sadly never be “a larger Evo”, but more of a “smaller M5”.
I could be wrong.
