Consider the BMW M3 E30 and imagine the outcry on here is BMW released it today.

A crappy little 4pot with just over 200Bhp, a terrible 5 speed box, a slow 0-60, no crash protection and zero toys.

It would be slated

So what other great cars would the pub bores hate if they were made today

Whoosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that totally missing the point? biglaugh

The e30 M3 IS a great car and always will be. It's pure folly to try and directly compare performance to a modern car though, and it's equal folly to compare the driving enjoyment of a new Vauxhall Corsa to that of a 1960's sports car.
And a Whoosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! straight back at you


Which great cars would the pub bores hate
