C&D just compared the new base Z4 to a base Boxster and chose the Boxster. They noted the weight difference in particular. They also said the Z4 was a damned fine car and were it not for the excellence of the Boxster it would be a standout.
I find it odd that BMW chose to let Toyota go first with the big power. |

In the linked article. Sounds like the 30i was released first. Makes sense that both are out now since the article was probably written months ago.

No it isn't. A Miata is. But a GT86 is a hot mess of bad steering, cheap interior and a huge torque dip at 4,500 rpm that Subie and Toyota refuse to address. It also likes to lean itself out under track use because of the Toyota developed dual mode injection.
It should be a great car, but I've extensively driven both versions both before and after LCI and would take an ND Miata over one every time. |

When there's so much area between a Miata and a Boxster, I never understand why BMW keeps trying to attack the Boxster head on with pricing. Just aim for the middle like you did with the Z3 and first Z4. Oh, and stop making it heavier and larger. |

“The new Supra produced at the Magna Steyr, Graz Plant in Austria is the first product in a comprehensive collaboration with BMW” So is there a second product coming?

Yup, definitely getting one now. It will be fun to toss it around the roads in Northern Georgia.

The more I learn of the Supra and Z4, the more I think the Supra is the clear winner of the pair by far. Now maybe just hope for a 6MT.

Just wish they would make a version that doesn't look so hotwheels or cartoonish. It's looks are polarizing and I somehow don't think it will age well. Then again I'm likely not the intended target market. |
