You obviously drive different cars than "the rest of us." IMHO the
difference in driving feel between my old E28 chassis 535i and, say, a
Chevy Impala (my current company vehicle) is significantly more
different than the difference in feel between the 535i and my current
personal 944. Sure, the 944 is somewhat more involving, but the
difference in handling between "really quite good" and "holy @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
's amazing" is irrelevant for 99% of US street driving. Both are
head and shoulders above most of the cars on the road today, and both
are exceptionally competent at any speed/condition encountered. Of
course I wouldn't have been driving the 535i at Summit Point, but
that's not the intent of the car - it is a "s****ts sedan" not a
"s****ts car" after all.
I could be happy with either the 535i or the 944; I'd never buy the
Imp for myself.
That said, I can certainly understand those who have the money and are
willing to pay the premium to drive a ****sche over anything else (just
look in my driveway.)
