I guess the fact that it looks like other car designs supports what MrPT and others have observed - modern designs have similar cues and contemporary influences to try and entice the modern sports car buyer, and there's nothing wrong with that. The result is that current marques make our mk1 Z4s stand out and as the years roll by perhaps become that timeless classic.

Good to see they have attempted something with the rear end.

Cant say that the pictures do anything for me, from the side it could be a Merc. I will need to see one in the flesh to decide if it looks good or not.
Some of these pictures are bad renders or from funny angles and do not show what it will really look like.

Wasn't the new Z4 at Goodwood FoS. My wife and I were shown pictures by our local dealer; we are waiting to see one in the metal. The return to a ragtop is a bonus, the metal roof, whilst great in inclement weather, takes up a lot of boot space.

Apparently that was an early design model - FOS pics plus comments viewtopic.php?f=52&t=107685&p=1563706#p1563706

I think it might be worthwhile sitting on it for the new supra. As much as im a keen z4 advocate. I must admit the supra seems to trump the new z in terms of design

I think what we’re basically saying is that in red, it looks like other red cars.

Why do the pics posted by the OP show a car with BMW badges but text saying "Supra Mk 5"? I though the convertible is going to be BMW whilst the hatchback will be Toyota?

As has been noted in previous threads, why oh why do the car manufacturers come up with georgeous concept cars and then deliver something that is rather run of the mill?
