Hate the digital gauge cluster, but they lost me at automatic-only anyway. Don't care if it's faster - a pure sports car (two seats, rwd, soft top - to me) is all about emotion and I need the interaction a stick provides - just an opinion but it's a deal killer for me.

Glad to see the soft top is back, however, and glad that ANY new sports car is heading for production. The front bumper is ok to me but it was much nicer/simpler on the concept; not loving the head lights (doesn't say 'BMW' at all) nor the grille inserts (reminds me of M-B CLA), and it has long overhangs front and rear. The whole thing IS interesting to look at though.
