The testing numbers will be great while the engagement will be obsolete. Then buyers turn to older cars that were not as powerful, but were (RWD/6MT delights) that feel more than adequately powered and gave the driver enough involvement to be considered great all around driving experiences. |
That's a very good point. If anyone doubts it, go drive an RS4 or RS5. Compared to F80/C63S etc, they are fast, competent, but dull.
