First clear view Side window looks tiny there - no different than the 370Z in that regard.

^ Great history - you certainly know your NSX! You even remembered that commercial - here it is on YouTube:

Don't forget the new NSX - Duke Nukem levels of wait time there.

The Toyota marketing types might nix a production reveal until they are a few months away from having the car in showrooms to prevent a premature peak in hype that could negatively impact sales demand. Twelve months is too long a period over which to maintain high levels of media exposure and...

So working from the writer's estimates, the 245 hp variant is going to be about $60k Canadian. WTF? I hope this is wrong. If it isn't I will definitely be test driving a 330 hp, $34k CAD 370Z Sport next summer (that could probably be negotiated down to $31k). I'd bet there will be much more of...

^ Ah, I thought the SOP date was for the Supra. Your inferences make a lot of sense - but didn't we recently see some normally reliable source claim that the Supra was coming first?

Maybe we can play the "you're getting colder...you're getting warmer" game here? So: first NA release: 2 seater BMW inline 6, approx. 330-350 hp 172" l X 73" w X 51"h about 3000 lb proper eLSD plus brake torque vectoring ZF 8 speed (possible no-cost option of 6 speed rev-matching manual?)...

Well if SOP is in fact November then the earliest it's going to hit showrooms is January, probably late January - early production runs are held back for extra QA testing in most cases. So 12 months until it hits the showroom, not 7. As long as the car doesn't go on sale until after Jan 1 2019...

The problem with BMW's current lineup is that now you really have to pay to play if you want a new Bimmer that can be seriously considered a top-level driver's car. Earlier mid-range cars like the E36 328i and the E46 330i used to be acclaimed for their handling and driving fun, even if they...

The initial release was by no means ugly but the lights (front and back) looked cheap. Toyota fixed the lights with the refresh but butchered the lower front fascia. The refreshed BRZ does look fine, but still can't match that concept IMO.

^ I sure hope the Geneva reveal and subsequent production car release doesn't follow the FT-86/FR-S pattern - the FT-86 was a gorgeous concept, but the production vehicle was far more pedestrian::

And yet from all I've read your rates are lower than Ontario's, where the insurance companies have enough sway over the government to ensure they always get their 20% profit margin. As for competition - there really isn't much here, if you do find a lower rate it's always with tighter strictures...

Location is the third major risk factor - it can make a substantial difference in your premium. All else being equal, downtown Toronto rates will be close to double those of someone living in a rural area 100 miles away.

It's funny how 17s look so small these days, now that even family sedans with a "sports" package or trim level of some type are shipping with 19s and even 20s in a few cases.

I recently got quotes here in Toronto for 3 cars (annual rates, same level of coverage for all cars quoted): 2018 Honda Civic type R = $1254 2018 Nissan 370z = $1353 2018 Mazda Miata = $1196 So it's clearly not simply seat number that will differentiate rates for the same driver, engine power...

^ The rotors are really not that massive - they only look huge here because of the relatively small winter wheels on these cars. Note the fairly high-profile rubber. That said, the rotors look more than adequate for a 3000 lb car.

^ Very good news. BRZ size would be ideal, but obviously the hood will have to be longer to accommodate the bigger engine.

It'll have more storage than a Miata by far, and if it doesn't have the same strut bar cutting up the hatch area as the Z has, it will offer more useful luggage space than that car.

Here's the critical area with greater brightness and contrast for a clearer view.

Manual with rev-matching please! At this point it's a must-have feature for a (semi-) premium sports car. As long as it can be toggled off, everyone's happy.
