Huckfeldts images are almost always SPOT ON. Looks like what I've been hearing through the grapevine for 7-8months have been true. The coupe has yet to get board approval.

I kind of like it. Kind of. I will have to see the final product and see what kind of performance it has as a potential S2000 replacement. It looks a little too Pontiac Solstice for me. As far as looks go, I like the looks of that VW roadster concept better. Oh...whats it called.... the "Blue" something roadster.

I'm not sure how I feel either. It will be toned down without a doubt in September. Dont expect it to be toned down too much though. The new Soltstice coupe looks pretty sexy.

Fact is that BMW does not make pretty cars. I'm not anywhere near They know this. I'm sure when they see an Audi S5 go by they drool too. But they dont make FWD cars either.
