I have not driven the new M2 but am very interested in this discussion. I did have a 2020 M2 Comp which I liked very much and wish I still had. Ironically sold it and purchased a 2018 991.2 GTS PDK which I now have consigned at
www.motorvault.com in Indianapolis.
Reason I am on the forum today is that I am contemplating the current M2 and trying to decide if I cancel the consignment sale arrangement and trade it in at the local dealership for a M2 allocation. I love the look and feel of the GTS but limited use and cannot drive to work as too flashy. I have a 23 WRX manual as a work commuter vehicle - somewhat ugly but enjoyable and I don't have to worry about it
