yep, just dissapointed
they could have made something great, and possibly sold a lot more than they were hoping by stealing some BMW/Audi/etc. drivers with a true enthusiast-oriented offering in a market that even Alfa Romeo doesnt offer the enthusiast transmission. But no, they didnt. It is a shame.
substandard was the wrong word, I admit. Lukewarm, or "less than it could be"
forgive me
