i understand that changes are made at different stages but i still think one is clearly a mid engine while the other is a front engine concept. cars from the same company usually share similar styling cues but that doesnt mean theyre the same model. agree, we'll know more come Tokyo.

on the German side, it seems like BMW has no interest in renewing the Z4. there's even a rumor that the 4 and 8 will be merged into one model which leaves BMW with only the 2 and 6 replacements. so yeah if true, companies are slimming down on coupe offerings. like it or not, the chocies will be...
a more expensive Supra would make sense given the rumor mills of late. everyone's favorite Japanese magazine Bestcar says the next 86 will be pricey due to the 1.6 turbo hybird set up and then we'll have that EV MR2 becoming the entry level model.
