How close will this be?

[john-e89]

Personally I reckon this will be just about be the production car.

If it is then it's not as dramatic as in the pictures from California earlier in the year.

 

[ronk]

It gets my vote for looks - but I probably won’t buy!

That was a concept though Rick, albeit approx 80% of the finished production car according to the blurb. Hence why I think this will be pretty damn close to the final version.

What does the back look like?

 

[Grumpyowl]

It gets my vote

 

[Marlon]

Looks very tasty from that angle, but would like to see more

I think if I suggested buying another car like that after an all new 35is Aug last year there would be one almighty argument !

Just tell her it’s a “concept” (at the moment) Ron

Looks good - but it has no roof!

It looks like it may be Toyota time.

It is the rear I would want to see, as with the E89 they ran out of ideas there.

 

[Smartbear]

It is the rear I would want to see, as with the E89 it was very refined there.

There you are I’ve fixed that for you, no need to thank me

There you are I’ve ruined that for you, just like the rear of the E89, no need to thank me
Rob

Thanks Rob, agreed

Nice hand Ronk, however I’ll see your almighty argument, and I’ll raise you and go all in with an instant divorce....

You would be lucky to afford a bicycle after that.

Last laugh Rob....

 

[Nanu]

Nice but not as stunning as the concept version. Think I would prefer a second hand i8 for what I suspect would be the same price

 

[RickRob]

I have no idea what the car companies hope to achieve by building a futuristic concept car, publishing pictures on their own website, inviting prospective customers to register interest and then the production car becomes a disappointment.

On the one hand I have to accept that their marketing departments know what they're doing. On the other hand I think they raising false hope that lead to disappointment.

Exactly - its bizarre marketing :scratchhead:
