Yeh, smaller F-type exactly. Pity it doesn't have the performance, I guess MX5's were never about performance though.
I think its a bit of a 'sheep in wolfs clothing'. I wonder if there are any future plans for a bigger engine to do the looks justice?
Not seen one before... Actually has a nod to the z4 shape imho
We actually ordered the 2.0 Sport Nav in Soul Red 3mths ago for £22.5k from Perrys in Barnsley, gorgeous car in the flesh.
The salesman described it has having the looks of a TVR from the front, Corvette lines from the side and the look of a Zed from the rear, he's not far wrong on all counts there imo.
It drives so so well indeed. Fantastic seating position, nice acceleration coupled with handling that is very impressive indeed.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, we cancelled the order approx 7wks ago and decided to keep the £11250 we were funding it with and the balance on 0% chucky.
As it would be the only car we ran, 2 seats and a miniscule boot were just too impractical for us. Hence why I bought the Z4 as the wife gave me the nod to buy a 'fun car' while she now drives a 65 plate DS3 on a 2yr lease at £115 per month.
Win win all round as I now have a Zed, money in the bank and a car (DS3) that will take cases to the airport and back for our summer hols!!

That salesman was spot on I think
Saw one today in black and it looked fantastic but quite small
Had a Mk2 and it never failed to put a smile on my face - fabulous sports car
I'm really liking these cars.

If only it had more power, I hope the rumours of a turbo are true.
