I need to reserve my judgement. Maybe its the color. It looks like a friggin boat. :-( We'll see in a couple weeks.

BForbes · 10-14-2008, 03:34 PM

Oookay, I take that back. I found some hot shots!! Flat red is not a bimmer color IMHO.

Meh.
Which cars is this supposed to compete with? I ask because it looks more Miata-like than Corvette-like.

pit1 · 10-14-2008, 04:21 PM

Still don't like it...bring on more Z8 styling cues.

VFX · 10-14-2008, 04:55 PM

Hard to judge it's looks with all that masking but if it drives well, then it could be near the top of my list when I come to replace my Boxster.

Those front grills look huge.

I'm pretty sure you answered your own question

Not really, and if you think thats large, look at the new 7. The 1er's grills even seem large to some people.

E82tt6 · 10-14-2008, 08:12 PM

I'm more interested in how much it weighs!

VFX · 10-14-2008, 08:20 PM

I'm guessing somewhere close to 4000 lbs!

I hope not but with that folding roof mech & extra safety features who knows!

Would be a nice surprise if it were lighter than the current Z4.

Thats my problem too. I'm looking to buy another one. I really dont want to. Buying the same car twice is weird to me. Honda's S3000 is at least 2years ago.
