Lexus has never before competed well with the m3, and I don't expect this to be different.
The m3 will undoubtedly be far lighter, and be more performance oriented as usual.
Of course I could be wrong and lexus could blow us all away, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Many people do not understand how much faster the m3 will be with this new turbo powerplant and also are discounting how well the car will handle due to the upgraded suspension, materials stiffness, differential tech, solid subframe and weight loss. Not to mention the vastly upgraded brakes which have long been an M-car weakness.
JMO, we will see.
Full disclosure : I have less than zero interest in this lexus because its auto only and IMO looks terrible
