| Story |
-First entry into supercar category with new multi-purpose supercar enabled with unique high-performance technology |
-GT-R Performance target (not sales conquest) -GT-R has similar acceleration and performance for roughly half the price (911 turbo-type performance for 911 price) -3.6L Twin turbo Flat-6 with 480hp and AWD -$126,200 base MSRP, typical MSRP range $130 - $147k |
-American sports car icon vs. Japanese sports car icon -Similar acceleration to GT-R at slightly higher MSRP -7.0L (427ci) Hand built LS7 pushrod V8 engine with 505hp -$71,000 base MSRP -$80,790 comparably equipped |
-4-seat performance coupe at near GT-R price range -Mid-4 second 0-60 acceleration -4.0L V8 with 414hp but only 295lb ft of torque (first V8 in an M3) and 8,500 RPM redline -Expected base MSRP low $60's -Expected typical MSRP close to GT-R |
| Strength | -Better all around performance than European counterparts at significantly lower price -Rear transaxle all wheel drive provides significant acceleration and handling advantages -Dual clutch transmission provides super quick shifts or relaxed automatic shifts depending on driver preference -Advanced technology facilitates performance for any driver skill level |

-Light weight 3,162 lbs -Now considered serious Ferrari and Porsche contender -US icon with large UIO and over 90% domestic cross-shop preference |
-Premium brand car -Strong UIO -German brand loyalty, less than 10% seriously consider non-German |
| Weakness | -Limited GT-R awareness in US. -Heritage unknown in US -Brand not seen as premium brand -Advanced technology requires explanation to understand -Unique exterior design is polarizing |

-Not a unique car, still a trim package on a Corvette |
-Not a unique model -V8 engine may be difficult for some M3 purists to accept -Does not have Supercar performance credentials (GT-R will trump in virtually all performance categories) |
