In the linked article. Sounds like the 30i was released first. Makes sense that both are out now since the article was probably written months ago.

No it isn't. A Miata is. But a GT86 is a hot mess of bad steering, cheap interior and a huge torque dip at 4,500 rpm that Subie and Toyota refuse to address. It also likes to lean itself out under track use because of the Toyota developed dual mode injection.
It should be a great car, but I've extensively driven both versions both before and after LCI and would take an ND Miata over one every time. |

When there's so much area between a Miata and a Boxster, I never understand why BMW keeps trying to attack the Boxster head on with pricing. Just aim for the middle like you did with the Z3 and first Z4. Oh, and stop making it heavier and larger. |

“The new Supra produced at the Magna Steyr, Graz Plant in Austria is the first product in a comprehensive collaboration with BMW” So is there a second product coming?

Yup, definitely getting one now. It will be fun to toss it around the roads in Northern Georgia.

The more I learn of the Supra and Z4, the more I think the Supra is the clear winner of the pair by far. Now maybe just hope for a 6MT.

Just wish they would make a version that doesn't look so hotwheels or cartoonish. It's looks are polarizing and I somehow don't think it will age well. Then again I'm likely not the intended target market. |

BRZ has amazing steering - direct, quick, consistent and just heavy enough. I have owned BRZ since 2015 and also have 2018 M3 Comp - BRZ has by far the better steering and closest to what the BMW hydraulic setups were just not as heavy. The interior of the BRZ is great as well - seating position, seats, steering wheel, shifter, leg room, and visibility. There are ZERO sports cars that can match it. Handling is incredible- it stays flat in turns and at high speeds, there is no lift. With stock tires - its not setup for max grip, put a decent set and your laptimes will dramatically improve! Miata is MUCH smaller inside, i personally cant have a normal seating position and im 5‘11. its also more softly sprung and has very loose steering. I‘m not a fan of it.
