That was a good game.
And pretty much went off the rails from that point on 👌
@LOGiK I've been telling another guy in here the same thing about branding
nfsu2 was great in a dumb way
I think the absolutely horrible marketing really worked against it too, if you tell people you're gonna make this replacement for your most iconic car over the course of a full decade, you build expectations to a point that's almost impossible to live up to.
Toyota has done the same with the new Supra name.
@LordCaledus lol you listening?
bmw has also... what the fuck has bmw done to M actually
I just remember the NSX being in the same class as the Toyota Supra and Mazda RX-7
pretty much yeah
Supra was a fun car.
though I feel like the rx7 shouldn't be classed with anything else
M is meaningless now, there are SUVs that have an M badge from the factory and aren't even an M car.
also m was originally like.. light and fast
then the m8 gte
I'm sure you could mount a 203mm tank cannon to the m8 gte
Well the Supra was also equivalent to a Corvette or 911 of the time, those cars were all in the either side of 300 or so horsepower range at that time.
The M8 GTE is also a joke because it's been racing since the start of the current IMSA and WEC seasons even though there is no M8 road car on sale.
The production version of the regular 8 series wasn't even shown until like 6 months after the M8 GTE had been racing, and you can't buy that yet, let alone an actual M8.
sounds like a tesla model 3 at 35k
Everything else in WEC GTE Pro represents a road car that has actually been sold to customers besides the BMW.
well I bet most people won't buy the m8
few people have a dockyard or shipping port to park in
Haha
I thought you were gonna say they'll buy the 835i X-Drive M badged non-M model instead.
@Fitzydog i was driving
Also i was tagged because...?
Because badge engineering is a bad business move
Also yeah, bmw has kinda fucked up with watering down the M badge
Uh...at what point was i arguing for that?
If you mean the convo yesterday, i was arguinf for getting away from badge engineering
I'm joking, pipe down lol
?
Not mad
Just confused lol
Bmw and mercedes need to quit making an amg/m version of every car tho
Or at least make the M/amg cars actual amg/m cars
GLS63? If there is a market for it, sure
GLE45? The fuck are ya thinking, mercedes?
