Did you see the 9-3 Turbo X wagon that was on BAT earlier this month? That one looked great! one of only 45 & closed at $22500.

Re: What do you drive ...1:1
I added an interesting car to the stable.
New, manual transmission performance cars. It's slim pickin's in the US.
I was made direct at GM in January. I wanted to reward myself. I have been in the Cadillac studio nearly two years and now in the exterior studio.
Oddly enough, Cadillac makes these two cars, a celebration-farewell to the high performance ice-manual trans cars, the Blackwings.
The 5 Blackwing was bigger than I wanted and more than I wanted to spend.
I went with a 4 Blackwing, 6mt, light on options in Blaze Orange Metallic.
So far I am smitten. Great car. It has a map of my office/facility, the Warren Tech Center as a hidden easter egg. I know the people who worked on this car. It's just cool.
Did I buy it because I am a GM fanboy and got a great discount? Nope. There is NO employee pricing or discounts on Blackwings. I was lucky to get it at MSRP. I simply could not get on board with the styling of the new M3 which also cost over $10k more and is LESS of a drivers car. The Alfa Quad is auto only in the US. This car was pretty much it for me.
I dropped it off immediately at the detailer for paint correction, Expel PPF on the nose and a 4yr ceramic coating.

Re: What do you drive ...1:1
You actually found a car in stock! Lovely add, not sure if the exterior would be my first choice. 

Re: What do you drive ...1:1
Great addition! Rare to find a car at all, and one with a manual is even better.
Like the styling quite a bit & the reviews are outstanding.

Re: What do you drive ...1:1
I think it's shameful that brands allow dealers to MU cars based on MSRP no matter the situation. Yes, these are first-world problems, well I believe they are, this is creating a horrible impression on the industry as a whole. This is speaking with both sexes on the topic that aren't considered "car crazy" as people found here.Ordered and waited 5 months. Any one of these in dealer stock is $10-25k over
