My question is this: What are these "target buyers" presently driving?

Its only reasonable to assume that BMW does not want to cannibalize sales from its own product line, so if potential M1 buyers are not presently driving Bimmers, then what are they driving?

Another way to put it is, what car(s) does BMW hope to steal market share from with the M1?

For better or worse, I can't think of too many sporty cars in this market price. The only car that comes to mind is a Porsche Boxter, with a base price of $47,600.

Any ideas?
