Whatever they do I just hope they produce a car that can put its power down from a rolling start and not get thrown off by little bumps in the road with the DSC coming down like a hammer taking the throttle away leaving you with nothing, as for DCT in S3 the shifts might as well take 2 seconds as the shift jerk brings in the DSC slowing progress so you might as well use S1.

I use this car as my family driver. Often there are 3-4 people in side riding 30-60 miles each way. I wouldn't trade having 4 doors with a decent trunk until I either make a whole lot more money or my kiddo moves out, and she's 5 so I got a ways to go on both fronts.

I love the way the GC looks. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, friend. The weight means nothing to me. It will never see the track. I love the sleek sloping roof line.

The S5 Sportback does a nice job with design and flow. Again, weight for me means nothing because it will never see the track.

When you're tearing up the back roads, yes. Under normal conditions of going to work in traffic, the gym, and the grocery store and yoga studios(which is where 98% of these cars live) you'd be hard pressed to feel any kind of weight penalty.

Might as we get a 340/440i or a Merc amg. Or even a 330i. You can't tell in the 98% driving case anyway |

Status quo. Nobody can get to the limits of modern day cars anyway on the street.

Exactly. The other 98% don't even know forums exist and really don't care. They'd rather just drive the car. Hence why the manual transmission is dead in the 3 series. The members of this forum make up a VERY small group of owners. The majority of people really aren't enthusiasts. My own sister is one of those people. She couldn't care less about sound, feel, and any of other enthusiast mumbo jumbo. She barely washes the thing. Maybe once every six to eight months if that.
That's what the 98% of drivers are going to do. Just drive it and not give two hooey's. |

If you want small, M4 seems like better fit. Or M2. Or 911. I hope they go big! |
