All these comparisons are interesting and all but the reason I'm getting my M3 is that it comes in a sedan with a manual. Nothing can compare these days. I looked and I think maybe a Toyota Corolla can be had with a manual. So, if you want a fast (not the fastest) sedan with a manual, look nowhere else. And I am coming from a 6MT ZL1 just got tired of the impracticality.

The next step on from this car is a big one - 992 GT3 for 2.5x the price. That's essentially the end of the road, unless you want to step back in time 10-15 years (Carrera GT, Ford GT, Murcielago, etc).

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Even those aren't sedans though…

Right. Drives home the relative rarity of it when even the sportiest products have moved on from it.

What about the Cadillac's?

That's about it. The rest of the cars with both a manual and a good measure of practicality are relatively down-market, though a few are still performance cars to at least some extent. Cadillac, Civic Type-R, WRX/STI, Golf R, Veloster N (I suppose...). Can't think of very many others.
