Not convinced by the styling, but I love the idea and it sounds like the execution is pretty good. Certainly more interesting than putting yet another M3 on the road.
But would you, honestly, with your own money?
Why not? In the US you'd be getting more car for less money and more upgrade options should you want. Also there are still quite a few people in the world who'd rather buy American than German.

Origami 370Z in chav white with black rims.

I can see it appealing to five year olds or adults with no discernible taste.

My wife would divorce me if I ever showed up in that.

Yes I would, 100% - I much prefer this to an M3 in terms of rarity, performance and noise. I'd even happily have it in that colour combo too and no, I don't need to visit Specsavers.

Well no, but I wouldn't buy any car in this class, especially not new.

I also can't live with the steering wheel on the wrong side, but lots of people can which makes it a compelling option for those in the market.
It's certainly "interesting" in a "different from the normal" kind of way. But this is a pretty left field choice and one that I suspect will have only a tiny audience. Good for them.

It's second hand, by the way.

Was a modified one hammering about near my place last night (middle east) and the supercharger whine and exhaust note were sublime.

The appearance of the car definately wont appeal to all, the back looks way too high but at least they are different.

Dont think its a bad price, about 60k sterling here in Dubai brand new.

LHD not a problem, but nah. Not for me. Another YKYWT failure IMO.

If nothing else puts you off, then surely knowing that Justin Beiber has one, made worse by he fact it was modified by West Coast Customs

Apart from the previous owner and the 4,000 miles?

Hmm, OK. PH lying. smile

Still it's close enough to new to be of no interest to me. I can't see myself ever buying a car less than three years old.

Why would anyone be so shallow to care who else owns the same model of car?

Why would anybody want to go public with the fact they share the same taste as JB?

Maybe there are some very shallow people about then. Seriously you need help if something like that bothers you wink

It's surely no coincidence that the importers are near Manchester...
