Indeed, there will now be a premium pricing for M4 vs M3. Audi-esque.
Think I will de-camp to P-cars.

Of course there will be a heap of 'punters' who won't care a damn for the nomenclature. But in 1 gen the M3 will go to M4 and turbo. I embrace change but I believe this move to be wrong-headed. Keep the badge, we understand the need to go turbo to meet power and fuel economy requirements. But I'm sure the M4 will sell well whatever I or other traditionalists think

You couldn't be any more wrong sir. People appreciate a tradition, and there is a legacy behind the M3. I mean adding all these other numbers is overkill. I my self will debadge it for the reason of tradition. I mean if you utter the word M3 people are like ahh yes the M3, and when you say M4 people will say WTF! is that???

This is madness! The M4 is the M3 and anyone who questions that doesn't matter! Do you buy it for the badge, or for what it is! Who cares, cos soon the M3 watchers will become the M4 watchers. LOL M3Cutters will love this new address! lol or revere it as they need to register new dom name

I thought I'd never consider a squashed beetle but the 991 generation is looking damn good in every respect and I might have to overlook the F82 M4 and start saving up for a 991 GT3. The only thing that has ever concerned me is the engine and if they could somehow engineer the upcoming S55 to be 99.99% as good as their legendary normally aspirated forebearers, I'll be sold. Time will only tell when the F80 M3 comes in.

In other news, Chevrolet, in celebration of their famous coupe's 7th generation, will be renaming it the Corbette.

People are always opposed to change. As long as it performs like a M car is supposed, then I'm happy. If someone doesn't know what an M4 is when you say it, then that person is not an enthusiast anyway. Know your history.

I think the underlying theme here is that it's just a curious matter. Not in the sense of a conspiracy theory but just an "oh really? That's...interesting..." type way. The car is going to be great, I'm sure, but this definitely raises some eyebrows. I thought the special name for their special coupe was going to be the same forever and I might even assume that most folks didn't have a problem with that. In any event, it's their company and they get to define their direction. They seem to have a knack for producing special cars so I don't worry in that regard.
