Ok everyone - read BOTH the October 2008 and October 2009 issues of Motor Trend - obviously they weren't going to pick the exact same cars every year - that wouldn't sell as many magazines - but look at a professional like Pobst's rankings as well as the data in both magazines - 102.943 lap time for M3 on Leguna Seca and 2nd place subjective rating by a professional driver (Pobst) as reported in the October 2008 issue. Compares very favorably to a slightly slower ranking for the current 320 hp Cayman S (at 103 seconds flat on Leguna Seca), albeit higher ranking for fun/handling factor. Pobst's comments about the M3 in the October 2008 issue run 100% contrary to the M3 no longer being a "pure drivers car," especially considering he is a professional race car driver.
