I feel exactly the same way. That's sub-M3/4 performance at twice the price. While I doubt that it'll be in my price range, I'd desire it much more of it had a 6 or 8 cylinder producing enough power and torque to at least match the M5/6 when combined with the electric motor. Basically, I don't want a car to look more powerful than it actually is.
