Many of Porsche owners came from previous M3's, M5's or still have them. They fullfill a great niche while transitioning to the Porsche Turbo or even the C2/C4. I do not know if the R35-GTR will fill in the niche before a crossover to the Porsche Line. Time will tell.
P.S. C&D = Cash and Dollars..

Even the new M3 owners on this board aren't too thrilled with the new M3. Maybe you 997TT owners can fill me in: Why do I hear reports that the 997TT is not entertaining, etc.? I am planning on buying one when the update comes out (DFI, LEDs, etc.). I would be crushed to spend $150K on a car I would be disappointed in. 
As for the GT-R, when the idiot Nissan dealer wants me to pay a $28K markup to cover his costs for being certified to sell GT-Rs, he can blow me.

someone who apparently really, really likes bright-ass red. I hate C&D for this exact reason and will not purchase them, they need to get off BMW's jock ASAP. I realize the 3 series is an awesome machine, but it seems to be C&D's all-time (or their only) favorite car.

Agreed 100%. C&D has always been notorious for riding BMW's jock. They could plut together a comparison between an Enzo, a CGT, and an M3 and they'd still crown the M3 the winner because it costs less and has a bigger trunk

Gotta agree that the US car rags are spotty
I gotta agree that the US car mags have really gotten crappy in the last 10 years or so.
As I think any car mag has potential data in it that's worth reviewing, I still subscribe to the common US mags (C&D, R&T, MT) only in digital format at Zinio | Home | Digital Magazines. Those three car mags cost 1 dollar a month to download from Zinio.
There are some quality mags on there as well such as Total 911.
