seriously people, just admit it. BMW still builds the best sports sedans in the world, whether it is a standard 3er or a M3. btw, i really hate the Nissian GTR. sure it is fast and ultra fast, but i might as well go play Gran Tursimo on PS3 instead. at least i dont have to worry about voiding my transmission warranty when doing a hard launch in video games.

I had one for 5 years, a 5 speed manual shift Touring edition. Zero problems in those 5 years, comfortable for long drives with the family from Baltimore to Orlando, and Baltimore to Maine and back, and routine 6 hour trips to the middle of CT. On one occasion, I carried 1200lbs of bagged crushed rock for the parking pad and it barely sagged in back, and carried all 14 custom replacement windows for the house in the back with the hatch closed. Also carried all the lumber for my deck, and used it for camping before getting my travel trailer. Also autocrossed it successfully for a season the first year I had it (and still had zero problems with it). Taught my wife how to autocross in it, so it saw double duty every event... Never went to a dealer or service bay except for routine scheduled inspections at the big mileage points.
Probably one of the best all around vehicles I've had out of the hundred plus in the last 30 years. I also happen to like the small '37 Ford street rod looks. And, being a member of a few PT forums during those years, my experience seems to be typical. Even if you personally worked on a couple a week, the total number you COULD see is only a tiny fraction of those that were made, and the percentage that were great cars that didn't need anything, or needed very little, would still the vast, and I do mean vast, majority.

Cars I secretly hate.
BMW 535i.....I know people love them but for some reason a 528i or 550i makes more sense. Either get it for economy or lots of power. I wish they would keep this gem of a motor in the 1 series and 3 series only....and up coming Z series hehe. Cars I secretly love. SVT focus - I kinda wanted one as a kid to show those Civic SI guys, got an A6 instead so it has always lingered around in my mind. Mini Cooper S - I thought it was too commercial, too cutesy, and too fun loving with all its colors, stripes and diminutive size. However, it still growing on me, and one day I might err...nvm I don't think I'll ever buy one. Ford Mustang/Chevy Camaro - very raw cars that look great, sound great, but I think are coming in the wrong time.

I never could stand the E90 sedan or the E60 sedan. Both look bad especially the E90's Kia tailights.
The 335 coupe is nice, but the vert sucks with the top up.

I think you were the only one paying attention.
Seriously though two cars I don't understand how they sell, Honda Element or the Scion thing that looks like a toaster.

I despise Vette's and Mustangs, especially 6cyl automatic convertible Mustangs... What an absolutely worthless car... Any Volvos also, all of thier designs suck balls. Rant over

Extremely practical small economy cars, with a ton of room inside them. Most people aren't testosterone addled teenage boys that need a wannabe race car in order to feel better about themselves, and can make do with something like these as a daily driver or even a second car. No, they're not terribly quick, but they're light enough to make up for it, well built and reliable, economical, and can still hold a lot of stuff (a box is the most efficient use of space when considering carrying capacity). I was looking at one as a second vehicle not long after they came out for just those reasons.
And they make great small business delivery vehicles.

Did one anally rape your grandmother with you watching or something? I've seen and driven a number of them, and in general, they seem to be fairly benign mechanical objects that do pretty much exactly what they are supposed to do.
