The M stand for MORE POWER & More MONEY! Make sure you do your homework and KNOW what you are buying! This is a very rare and fast sedan. This car needs a scream to redline once in a while. You may have to defend the Motorsport logo against Mustangs 5.0's and souped-up Honda's/Acura's! LOL The price is fair for such a rare and collectible car. PS. It is rated at 11mpg in the city and 19 highway!


Thanks for the info. I'm already accustomed to the anguished looks from teenagers in over-done rice burners. My current daily driver is a '97 Volvo 850 T-5 that I have made a few "invisible" modifications to. Looks like a sedate sedan, but... Tickles me to no end when I see the :o look in my rearview mirror.

Going to drive the M-5 again today. Will probably buy it this week.
