With a bit more room and quiet reliable engine this will make a lot more of a long haul cruiser provided they have sorted out properly everything aft of the Mazda gearbox.

I wouldn't have considered owning one of the M3W with it's chassis and reliability issues, I want a car to drive not put on a flatbed especially at £50,000 which is where I am anticipating the basic model to launch at.

I really hope they have got this one right prior to launch, I think it's an exciting departure for MMC and a vital market over in the States.
