Unfortunately this is a view held by many. Kudos to you for your willingness to reconsider in light of information.

American cars have possessed excellent competitive performance for years, as well as excellent day-to-day driveability. Unfortunately, many are so biased against domestic manufactures that the facts get in the way. The Mustang's reliability will also easily take on the 335.

The oft-repeated description of the 335 as a handling and performance "beast" in this forum always makes me smile. This claim says more about the lack of experience of the writer with performance machinery than it describes the car. The F30 is a great car, but it has a different role to play.
