Not likely since the F8X sure ain’t the 993.

The hate on the 996 is a big bag of things that changed from the 993 most not related to one exterior design element.

The G8X is more the 997. The time when all earth shaking changes become much improved and acceptable.

I'll always have love for the M3. Here's hoping that the G80 rips so hard that the drive is undeniable and it gets the praise it deserves as an all-around phenomenal sportscar.

Thank you!

Audi has been doing the box fender look (again) since at least the B8 chassis RS

The bad:
- basic rear calipers
- ugly Face
- boring looks
- no dome hood

The good
- free Apple car play

A few things I noticed now,

door handles are carved in like the benzes presumably to be more aerodynamic but ugly

Rear wheels have a small black spoiler, can we get that for f80? TLG?

Looks much better than m4 / 4 series to me but not liking the rear quarter panel lines yet, no power dome??, and front lights are too pointy to me. I'm still keeping my e46 and f80 m3s...

Loving it, it's got all the right ingredients to be a return to form for the M3; the looks, right engine, right chassis, and innovative tech. Particularly after the lack lustre F80 gen this is a huge improvement

I'm no expert but did Kia go to the same wheel designer as BMW recently?

If I'm not mistaken didn't one of the bimmer designers go over there either last year or the year before? If so it makes sense that their latest cars and trucks have a euro look to it with tons of blatant rip offs that I refuse to go threw because it's a lot 😂..

Crazy part is even though that telluride has a funny name and is a range rip off it is a nice vehicle that I wouldn't mind driving for the right price.

It looks so pedestrian outside of the front. Maybe it's just the mix of camo??
