I hate the new body style. So there's no way I could ever digest this glorified station wagon aka "shooting brake"
I'm waiting on the CLA. That might get me to buy a new car. Otherwise it's the 2013 M5 for me.

I love the new M5 but I think it may be too big for my tastes... and here in the Bay Area it would get constantly nicked in tight parking lots by fuckheads who have no respect for such luxuries. I think it may be slightly out of contempt for people who own such niceties, however... I'm not sure. We've lived in Oakland for about 2 years now and our E90 335i Sedan has pretty deep scuff marks down to the bare plastic on the rear right corner and front right corner from those who apparently park with their eyes closed.
I will occasionally babysit the car when my wife goes grocery shopping just to ward off door dingers and drive-by bumper scuffers. I figure if I'm standing there it may be less likely to happen.
Anyway, it's one thing when it's a relatively inexpensive vehicle... and a completely different thing when it's a $100k piece of kit.
I'd love to own the new F30 M3. Rumored to have 450hp... and much tighter steering ratio than typical 3 series as far as I know...
