I think you may be romanticizing M cars a bit from a performance stand point. Their out of the box lap times aren't that special for their price points. And until recently, Kia hasn't tried to make something that competes in that type of use. So, there really wasn't any evidence on whether they could or could not make that product.

BEVs aren't the future. fuel Cell EVs, sure. But there's a lot of technology that needs to be refined between now and then. Fusion power for starters (though admittedly, we could probably make it work with a shitload of fission plants but people are too stupid to support those).

Great choice. I bought a Swift Sport back in January for the kids and as a nice extra car. Less than 1000kg (2200lbs). Such an entertaining car. Love it. Absolute fun machine. |

my 140hp 6 Speed manual Suzuki so far is the most fun, even with terrible plastics, no road noise insulation yet has terrible engine sound, and hopeless front end wheel spin. maybe coz it's a manual and it's light. I'm keeping the TTV8 though. I sold my previous boring M340i and I wish I could find a way to store it long term being the last pure ICE I6 BMW, but I don't have a warehouse to store my cars. |

Driving a slow car fast is often times a lot more enjoyable than driving a fast car slow. Hence I am on Miata #6
