why else would a car manufacturer release a model when the new shape of that same model was already out?
a 1 year production run?
yeah right! |
Porsche does it all the time. The 997 911 Turbos and GT3's are still being produced with the 991 for sale on the lots.
But I don't see how the 1M isn't an M car? I can understand the argument for the X6M, etc., but the 1M is:
fast, handles around a track with some of the best, has unique M styling, shares many parts with the M3, is light (relative to today's cars), is limited...
Is it the turbos?
