Anyway, like the car, it's a bit overweight but handles well it's reasonably fast and looks good. That said that particular model (E46 M3) has an adolescent following and I have to admit that it bothers me from time to time. Lots of thumbs up from the 20 something crowd. It's not a HUGE deal. but it does bother me if I have to pick up a client or go to a meeting w/ co-workers. It's not an adult car. If you can live with that (I expect it will start to wear on you) go for it. Something to consider.

That's exactly the sort of thing that has crossed my mind. Plenty of adults own an E46 like I drive now but it also has a big following with kids. The Genesis Coupe may be even more so. That (and less practicality) is the main thing holding me back, everything else I like.
