Not sure if you guys have seen the review, pics, and video from the 2addicts site yet, but this dealer is only a few miles from me so I might go down and check it out, maybe even try to get a test drive. I think a 135is is the best thing to compare it to, especially in terms of engine/tune, lack of PE, and comparing the DCT to the 8-speed. I just still don't like the way it looks AT ALL, or the wheels, too. I'm not sure if I'm completely biased and views skewed because I'm now on my second 135, but the car's design just doesn't flow to me. I hate it. Would be interesting if I could get pics of my car next to it though.
