The Z4 was a low volume, highly niche model. Why do they need another one badly? It was cool, but you can hardly make a case that they need another one. Anyway, the Z2 rendering looks sweet.

BigCheasy/Crappy, tant mieux. Il y a trop de BMWs au Quebec et c'est juste les personnes quétaines qui les conduisent, comme toi.

Looks like the Pontiac Solstice (no that that is a bad thing).

A super-fuel-efficient good-looking (but not too saccharine) Miata/ & Solstice beater from Bavarian Motor Works at little over half the price of the stylistically overwrought & thirsty Z4? Besides the 3-year wait, what is there not love?!
