...sedan... Yeah...I know...I would never really want an M3 sedan...or would I...black/black... I'm just a JUNKIE. Alright, I'm more than just a junkie...I just love cars.

I have a deposit on an Evo X MR, and I had ordered the Sti...I love all wheel drive turbo cars. I had written off the Subaru due to the splotchy reviews...but then I started seeing what these guys were doing to their new one...scroll down the page...

I looked at the non MR X in Florida when I was down there...it didn't really do anything for me...but, it sounds like the S-AWC is fantastic. Supposedly the MR won't be able to handle more than 80bhp over stock, due to the transmission's tendency to overheat. I wouldn't want the car with a 5-speed. I imagine that after a while they might come out with a 6-speed manual for the US market?

No, I don't want an M3...but a 135 with the retro hydraulic steering! (I'm still looking into converting my TT steering back to an older style system...more feel)

If I didn't have the RS4, I probably would be running to check out the black/black M3 sedan I was just offered.<ul><li><a href="http://www.harmanmotive.com/catalog/index.php">http://www.harmanmotive.com/catalog/index.php</a</li></ul>

and I think you'd enjoy that car much more than the M3, simply for the tuning potential. I was just reading a catalog that had a plug-n-play piggyback ecu for the 135 that gives it 80hp/40ft-lbs...for $600!

would need better seats, in Japan you can spec out nicer Recaro's... better leather on the steering wheel (pet peeve...gotta do it)...coilovers/sways/etc...red or grey tint film on the rear lights...wheels...maybe some extra leather somewhere on the dash, doors...

I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the GT-R...that seems like it would be up your alley.

My first thought also.

modding potential is why i got the GSR i wish it was a six as well

when there's a limited supply. I have relationships with many dealers, but not Nissan ones.
I've also never even driven a dual clutch 'box,' I don't know if I'd like it.

I wonder what the reserve was...did you bid?

Might be hard to get parts for the motor, seeing that it's 1 of 4, LOL.

having said that, supposedly they have a dedicated person (usually the sales manager) at each dealership who handles all GT-R sales. obviously they'll have to change their tune if they're going to sell a $70k car with potentially massive mark-up.

what will be interesting is to see what other models (if any) will get that motor, or a detuned version of it. maybe we'll see an AWD Maxima GT-R or something...
