You come into an M2 subforum and basically say that you don't see a point in purchasing a new M2 (as it's overhyped) when you can get an M235 or M4. What did you think was going to happen? Your initial post was almost asking us to convince you the M2 is good enough.
Every car has its pros and cons including price tags. The only preowned car that I cross shopped was a 991. Otherwise, I was comparing a new M235 to M2. It was a no brainer for me. With a car like the M2 available, why would I get an M235 and wish I had the M? Also, I think most of us are purchasing the M2 so the lease numbers aren't a huge factor in that regard.
