Hmmmm, that long hood and stubby rear-end look familiar!

The front looks like an Audi and the back does resemble an S2K. However, I'm sure the Germans would NEVER dream of stealing any ideas from the Japanese...

The rear i really like, but the front is a strange mix of straights and curves, of Audi and BMW. Overall it's a huge improvement over the previous model though. Based on looks I would buy this one, but not the previous.

I kinda liked this part.....As BMW aims to move the car a bit more upmarket and place it in direct comparison with Merc's SLK and Honda's S2000

It certainly looks better and more aggressive than the current Z3.

The first thing I noticed when I looked at the S-Car, were the large "looking" roolbars(spelling). That Z3 would look better with something more than those weak looking twigs behind the seats.J M O
