He said true sports car, not hardcore. A car can be a sports car while also being a GT, the mk4 is a great example of this.
They were actually comparing apples to oranges.
Not one person said the car was meh, besides this guy let alone all
Give me the alcantara/suede interior with red stitching and call it a day.
I would like to see some other color options though, red leather will probably we an option considering every other car has it nowadays.
It would be cool if they were bold enought to go all blue like my old mk3 but I...
Theres a lot of that article that could be dismissed. The fact that he reviewed the Z4 3.5 months ago is too long for a performance comparison if you ask me
Another way to look at these reviews is that Toyota invited them to review solely the chassis and suspension. Since the interior and exterior were covered and the mid-spec motor (not 4 cyl or GR model) already reviewed in the Z4, the chassis and suspension were the only parts they were willing...
To be fair, this is just one article from one author's opinion subjective comparison between the two. His opinion doesn't magically mean it is set in stone and the other journalists are wrong
If not the S58, does the B58 in the A90 have any relation to the inline 6 plug-in hybrid coming to the 7 series and x5 and 45e models?
EU specs put that car at 394hp and 440 ft/lbs would put the car around 440hp in the US.
BMW does not denote the inline 6 associated with the 45e models but I...
That review is definitely a lot different than the others. Making note of the car having less power and being less sporty are the most notable differences. But at the same time, this review does mention things we know to not be true. Stating the steering wheel and switches being exactly the same...
I believe that practice is still relevant in the states though. I have "INFINITI" spelled out 15 inches long on my deck lid right under the logo, and my parents just purchased a new Rav4 and I believe it has Toyota spelled out on the back as well
Several of the journalists mentioned that Toyota said the car would have a bespoke interior so it is definitely a toyota design.
Considering the Z4 and Supra have completely different dash shapes, I guess that is more of a question on if Toyota offers it. But the extra weight of the leather...
I didn't realize this game was a thing, those are the S58 specs in which were talk about.
Makes me think this test drive thing last week was to demo just the chassis not the powertrain. Underpromise overdeliver
Isn't it a good thing that the B58TU makes more power with less boost?
We have known for a while it wont be the regular B58, even in the trim with the B58 variant
M division will be using the ZF8 instead of the DCT on the new M models. Also it has less drivetrain loss than the DCT as well.
To add to the S58, all the rumors have it have a hybrid turbo and will compete with mercedes and audi
But that is the non-GR model, so that makes sense with everything we have heard.
The only way a bmw inline 6 revs that high is in an S motor, which could be the high output GR model they are referring to
