I never fell for that Fron without the M treatment and it is not different here,
Didn't care for the wheels either
Red interior touch is elegant but too old..
I believe this car will talk more to people mkre than 50 yo Like MB customers..

of course that was MHO

Saw it at the NYIAS. Very cool looking car. Some call it the "M6GC x-drive." Except I don't like the wheels - too many spokes.

You truly don't know me.

For cars that don't put power to the ground without a lot of tire spin-yes, AWD would help. For cars like the McClaren, which allows you to stomp on it and get solid traction, RWD is my preference. Same with GT3. Same with 458. Same with C2S.

I do find it rather impressive that a non M car will run a 4.0 0-60 and push it's 4,800 lbs down the 1/4 mi in just over 12 seconds. What I appreciate most is the styling of the Alpina. It's quite a lot nicer than a standard 650 GC.

Dud, I know you and I get your point but you didn't get my point last time!
in that thread, the M5 guy complained about traction issue and people were laughing at him and suggesting to get AWD MB E63 , CLS 63 or RS7... exactly the same situation of B6... all heavy, sedan mid or full size and big cars without traction issue and that's why I said RWD is fun (and it's really fun even with traction issue which part of fun when you feel that side way skidding )... my comment WAS RELATED to size then out of nowhere you appeared and compared your small and light AWD TTS with those cars as an example of fun car still AWD .... Looks like we are going to say the same things
BTW, not everyone gets a car for 0-60 ONLY other wise GTR is the only winner for smart guys... it's fast and cheap (half price of 911 TTS , one third of McLaren, a quarter of 458 and one fifth of Aventador with almost the same 0-60) ... who care it's Japanese ugly car with cheap interior

I don't ever pick a car form one sole aspect. I like the class too.

I never enjoyed sliding an M5 around.

You don't know me. That's a crazy presumption.
