Have you driven one? I was like you and wanted one for a long while, until i drove one and just found it very dissapointing. It was a mildly tuned 6.0 vxr and it just felt quite slow, big heavy and it was just awkward to drive. An m3 or rs4 is light years ahead in every way imo. I have other friends who have driven them too and had exactly the same opinion as me.
