Hi,
sikx5 wrote on Thu, 26 May 2005 00:01 | ^^ Dude, The M3 is an awesome package for what it is...Try one before you choose all those old toyotas...even a E30 or E36 M3 will be great fun, doesnt have be to a e46.

You people seem to misunderstand what I'm saying or I wasn't clear enough in my posts.
I do not doubt for one second the performance or the overall impressive package of the M3. It is a truly magnificent vehicle in all respects.
However, for old charm and style, I think the classic Celicas (particularly the JDM GT/GTVs) are more attractive and have a certain undefinable look to them that, to me, exceeds those of the M3. Exceeds the looks of most cars - well certainly all new cars, but there are some old 60/70 classics that are just as nice looking.
Maybe when you're driving your Toyota and an M3 drives past you feel a pang of envy and think "I wish I owned that instead of what I've got". I don't feel that. I don't feel inadequate or envy. I'm more than happy with what I got and wouldn't change it for another vehicle (well, maybe a 1970 Ferrari Daytona - but that's another thing).
Perhaps a part of my feeling this way, besides the fact that I'm an oldie and like these older things, is that I own a vehicle that is more rare (in Australia and maybe other countries) than an M3. Maybe if I drove your bog standard Camry or Cressida or Celica I'd feel different. But I don't and there is a certain pride, joy and satisfaction in owning a great looking, rare JDM GT Celica that very few people in this country would understand. For me it's not all about performance.
Anyway, as I said earlier in this post, I do not doubt what a fantastic vehicle the M3 is. It's just I have a different perspective on what I like and come from a different point of view.
