I love the new type r. Wish it was easier to get. BTW, I did buy a new car recently. 3rd new car in 2022Rented mine in Vegas. Valet guys weren’t exactly fighting over it when I pulled up to Aria Sky Suites
It’s not that BMW isn’t a standard bearer. It’s just that the competition has come a long way since the days of the 5 series being way better like with was back in the E39 days. Once the F10 came along, it didn’t really offer a more exiting experience compared to the older, and more importantly, lighter generations. Yeah it was fast. But it wasn’t something you felt like pushing on a twisty road. Essentially a German Hellcat.
Going to have to be really connected to someone or just be willing to pay stupid markup to get a GR Corolla. That’s going to be a super hot property. Same for the new Civic Type-R.
