I'm happy to not be force-fed all of the M-drive/I-drive stuff at least. I had all but marked the new M3 off of my short list until it was revealed that these items were optional in the US. I'm really down to the (facelifted, dfi-hopeful) '09 Cayman S or the M3 Coupe. And Porsche won't make a dime off of me on PCCB, PASM or Sports Chrono, although those are all reportedly nice options to have.
Interesting thread at least.
