They were testing this car quite a bit earlier this year. So... where's the numbers?
I'm thinking that if the track numbers are slower than the outgoing model then they can kiss the majority of sales goodbye.

IMO they are going for a different market segment. I think they're targeting the Mercedes SL group. It's definitely a departure from our current cars.

Really? In my experience, most Z4 drivers are just poseurs. They don't care how quick the car is.

I dunno about trying to target SL owners, as they'll fall short as nobody would compare the 2 on equal ground. SLK comparo would be more like it.

I cannot possibly imagine an SL owner trading in his/her car for a Z4.rabman5 wrote:IMO they are going for a different market segment. I think they're targeting the Mercedes SL group. It's definitely a departure from our current cars.

No me neither, SLK is a definite target market though
