Also, the designers of the FT-1 had said that they envision that the car would have an inline 6. That seems like a clue---because it was supposed to harm back to the Supra and other sports cars, that have had inline 6 engine configuration. And since Toyota no longer makes one, that could give credence that the FT-1 is the Toyota version of the Toyota/BMW collaboration. |

Not sure what the time to market will be, but the Z4 starts at just $49k. Even if there were a $4k increase, that would make the carbon fiber tub Z3 starting point the low 50's. I think I just wet myself

Why no M335i or M435i? Shouldn't there be M Performance Vehicles (packaged like the M235i, not adding individual components) to compete against the Audi S

And the local Maserati dealer for this car Still unknown which dealers will have it , so I played it safe Would be bummed if they don't release it The next m3/m4 doesn't excite me one bit And as much as I'd love a cayman, it's too much money for too little power And I don't like the porsche if you want anything you pay options charges up the wazoo system So if no alfa, I really can't think of any other car I'd like to own Maybe the M2 if its not turbocharged

7 years? LOL You're kidding right? You don't even know if you'll be alive in 7 years. Buy the car now and enjoy it if you can afford it. Then in 7 years you can upgrade to the new one.

The M2 will definitely be turbocharged. SCOTT26 confirmed in another thread that we won't see another naturally aspirated M-car.
The 4C is turbocharged though. Does that bother you?

There might still be. The PPK for the E90 335i and the E92/3 335is (which are effectively the precursors to the current Mx35i models) weren't introduced until their respective LCI.

If you are serious on the Alfa, you may want to cross-shop with Lotus. A new Elise is coming, and the 2+2 whose name escapes me is also an interesting piece. |

First the thread title... BMW Z4 to get replaced by Z3 Same price as current Z4 w cloth top to save weight. Then Scott says... The Z4 will effectively be replaced by the Z5. Go figure. Money Money Money |
