I didn't read the article but I can understand where he is coming from. I wonder how the new Gti stacks up against the MCS or JCW mini.

Quote from Michael's blog: "For me, the Volkswagen GTI is the kind of M3 that I prefer, less like a V8-powered truck and more like the Whispering Bomb. It's a great car."

He's like one of those talk show hosts that throws out comments like that to get people stirred up - he must be hurting for people to read his blog. But to say the current E9x M3 handles like a V8-powered truck... Show me a truck that handles like the E9x M3 - I'd love to have one!

I had to laugh because a customer of mine just traded in a 2008 GTI with me for a brand new Honda Fit Sport - they had gotten weary of the GTI's quality issues and wanted a car that was more responsive with a lighter feel to it. They are going to have fun modifying it and will be able to do a lot with it due to the low entry price.

I believe your Cayenne Turbo handles great, but I wouldn't put it in the same class as a F150 or Silverado! That's the kind of truck they were talking about.

^ This writer is called a "sh*t-stirrer". Saying the GTI is more than twice as good as an M3 is like saying a C6 Z06 is more than 5 times as good as a 599GTB.
