Yes. It sounds very much like the 996 controversy. I've driven both a 996 and a 993 and can tell you that the 993 is a far more exciting and enjoyable car - I hope this doesn't hold true for the new M3.

No relation to a Jamie Golub - although I've been asked by several people. I assume you're from the NY/NJ metro area.

I saw the article similarly. This sounds alot like the Porsche 996 controversy - heavier, more luxurious, softer, more GT like, yet much easier handling for the average driver, faster, better brakes and better times on the Nuerburgring than the car it replaced. Perhaps a more competent car, but not necessarily btter in some people's eyes because it lost it's "raw edge". BTW, I don't agree, I don't think more speed or better handling can ever too tame. BTW Steve anyone in your family named Jamie?
