Get a 992. It's the two door Panamera. And it's starting to look like a Lexus.

It may have been a Freudian slip but I speed read the thread title and mistook the word "coupe" for "couple" at first. That would have been a whole different thread.

The 58 Edsel was described as looking like an "Oldsmobile sucking on a lemon".

Consider a mustang with the top performance pack and trim level. Seriously.
460hp, free revving v8, big brakes, great handling, real life LSD, Recaros if you want them, Doesnt look much different than the rental car version https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2018-ford-mustang-gt-performance-pack-level-2-first-drive-review

They look and sound like a high school kid's car...and are definitely not discrete. It does not seem a viable move from a European luxury or performance cars for most older folks.

See 1000 mustangs a day and never look twice unless its a gt350 perhaps, way more discrete than a m3 or alfa

I've had a 2016 Mustang GT since new. It has a six-speed manual.
It is a calm daily driver that soaks up bumps like a Cadillac.......as long as I only use the first 1/4 of throttle pedal travel. It handles better than my old well-setup 944 Turbo. (Did I mention that they finally put an independent rear in it?) I also don't fear maintenance bills. Ford really put together a great car with this generation.

I own a 2018 M2 (N55, not S55). It is fantastic in all regards, and though the Competition brings "more", it also brings more weight with that more power. I am not sure that makes much of a difference to the overall experience, mind you. An M240 may be an interesting consideration, as it is even more discreet than the M2, and you aren't really giving up too much performance wise.
The M2 fit my needs for fun, track worthy, and reasonably versatile. It sounds glorious, but it isn't really discreet. The M2 is much more E46 sized than the M4. It is fantastic, but it will always be the economy version of a premium car . . . |

I have to laugh each time I open OT and read this title. I don't know why but I see "semi discreet fun couple" and immediately think "darn swingers"
