    It’s not my cup of tea but I can understand why people might like it. The stupid thing about it for me is the price tag.

    In this type price bracket/style of car, it'd be hard to look past the bonkers (and far cooler imho) Alfa Giulia GTAm in all fairness......

    Have you heard it? Sounds like two three cylinder engines arguing. Only car in recent time that sounds worse than the S55

    A GTAm ? No, I've never seen one, let alone heard one tbh. There's a Quadrifoglio that I have seen locally a few times and admittedly does sound a little anodyne.

    The GTAm comes with an Akrapovič exhaust, so should sound somewhat better when being driven in anger. Of course it'll never sound as good as a NA V8 or awesome V10, but then again turbo'd cars never do by their nature.

    Even the Maserati MC20 comes with a turbo'd V6 that sounds disappointing compared to some of its predecessors apparently - still wouldn't say no to one.....

    I don’t know much about Alfas but that does seem pretty cool. Although I’m fairly sure it’s nowhere near in the same price bracket as the CSL 3.0, I thought those were looking for €750k+ or something mad like that?

    c.€185,000 (not including VRT) new, although seeing as there were only 500 units made globally, one expects the cost to buy one now to be quite a bit more than that.

    It just shouts 'Go Fcuk Yourself' whereas the CSL shouts the same, but then apologises afterwards.....

    Yup, the CSL 3.0 is going for €750k, madness. It think it looks a little better than the regular CSL, but that's not saying much, I'm just hoping BMW sort out their styling by the next generation.
