Quote from Jalopnic revue: "So where does BMW come into this? There was a time when — before exclusively focusing on overweight, overcomplicated, boring-to-drive, ugly cars — that it produced vehicles that rightfully deserved the “Ultimate Driving Machine” title. They were simple, well-engineered and put driving first. They had solid, well-built black plastic interiors, manual transmissions and pretty big engines driving only the rear wheels. They don’t any more. They used to combine practicality with fun in just the right proportions. They don’t any more. This Pontiac does. So do the Cadillac CTS, the CTS-V, the G8 GT, the Corvette and the best car in the world, the ZR1. But, unlike even the old BMW, all of the above are, for their classes, very affordable. GM isn’t just the new BMW; it’s better than that."
"It's better than that." That says a lot. I can't wait to see how they revue the SS Camaro. Nice to see the G8 got the FE3 suspension. If I was in need of a family sedan I would probably have to go with a G8 or CTS. Fortunately I don't need to make that decision and I will have my new SS Camaro.
