When new models come out there is always lots of nostalgia like this. People like what they have (that is why they have it) and when they step into something 'higher end' their first experience is the formative/baseline for all others.
That is why those who first got an E46 M think it can't be beat and those who first got an E90 M don't see why we don't just stop there and say it is perfect. ...or why those who are 'Benz' folks are always gonna default back 'home'. Spend time in a forum like benzworld or mbworld and meet a world of folks (the 'Benz' and 'mb' worlds respectively...) who ALL prefer the C63 over the M3.
I would never take a first drive compare from any owner or reviewer vs a 7 year old model and say 'this settles it'
Let's let a bunch of newbies pop their cherries with the F80 and let some long term tests, side by side compares, etc, happen before we decide if this is the finger to put a ring on, eh?

But Stacy Collins was a slut. Sorry.
