The discussion stems from the original article by Steve Sutcliffe about the "value" of the M6 compared to other super cars. The fact that it is equal or better in performance while at the same time offering intangibles that the other cars do not. As we all know, it really takes a while to appreciate this car for all that it is. I'm still learning abot the car and I'm a pretty fast study. Steve's article was a "revisited" perspective article that said" wait a minute, this car is pretty spectacular and worth every penny when compared to other super cars". Remember when the car first came out? All of the nay sayers blabbering about the car being too expensive and heavy and not fun to drive.Blah, blah, blah. Well it turns out that a lot of these folks are getting more quiet by the day. I myself responded to this negative hype and got into some pretty uncivillized confrontations on bimmerfest while defending this car that a surprising number of people were trashing. I was puzzled as to why soo many were down on the car when they knew nothing about it. Well, as I had predicted, there is quite a bit of silence out there now. Each more in depth review of the car gets better and better. I signed up for Google alerts for the M6 so I read every new article. The most in depth reviews are the most flattering. The reviewers that spend the most time with the car, appreciate it the most.Auto. enthusiasts everywhere are starting to acknowledge the car's brilliance. The point of this thread is a discussion of that premise. I believe that this premise is validated by the passion and the enthusiasm of the members on this forum. |
The only reason M6 was perceived as expensive was cause of M5. Compared to other cars in its class, it is a bargain.
