i don't own one, but i have a few friends with one that have lend me the keys.
LOVE
1 its a BMW
2 sounds nice
3 much cheaper than the Z4
4 comes as a hardtop vs the Z4
5 i like how Toyota wasn't afraid to go with the flamboyant styling
HATE
1 fake vents
2 auto only
3 ugly wheels
4 low roofline...
if the 86 is killed off after 2025 i hope they replace it with that rumored hybrid/electric MR2. imo, the A100 should be spinned off as two separated models as Tada originally wanted to do with the A90. a 4 cyl Celica and 6 cyl Supra, and just like that we have the 3 brothers Akio wanted :D
i really like the orange render. the lines are nice and clean. imo, its a huge improvement over its predecessor. the 370 just had too much going on. the headlights were ugly and the proportions were awful.
i think the rumored 400hp for less than $40k was a little exaggerated. its probably the 300hp version that will start out in the mid to high $30k. iirc A70 said $50k. i'm assuming that will be the more powerful version.
yes, don't talk to the insurance company, go get checked out at your local 24hr emergency care (around $100) if not just gave them a copy of your insurance policy, and lastly get a good lawyer!

Exclusive: In his own words, Nissan's global design chief reminisces about Nissan Zs from the past and hints about its future.
sorry to derail the thread again, but the i8 successor is reported to be canned as well. it looks like BMW is becoming "Toyota pre-Akio".
