Powershift posted:Buick, too. the Cadillac Elmiraj and Buick Avista. Concept cars are unencumbered by questions like "how much does it cost to stamp the metal" or "can I park this in a claustrophobic inner city parking garage" or "will the IIHS issue a press release after crash-testing one?" It's puzzling why automakers release them, because they seem to only exist to make shipping cars look like poo poo.

vote_no posted:It looks huge compared to the old Z4. Well if the platform was going to be used for the Supra it's not like Toyota was gonna let the Supra get sized down to a Z4. I'm not a fan of just enough lines on that concept to absolutely throw the baby out with the bathwater.

That Z4 could be pretty but sadly it has to be over the top and venty like their current line. It's frustratingly close to being a nice car, it (like every other loving car these days) is just too busy a design.

Can't say I like the Z4. Too many weird aggressive creases, vents and spoilers which I'm sure are completely unnecessarily. The new 8 is looking pretty good in comparison though, maybe that was their goal:

Also I bet the new Supra still ends up costing over 50k, maybe well-over once optioned up.

I wouldn't t count on the Toyota being much cheaper if they're on Toyobaru or Fiata level of similarity, unfortunately.
