I remember being completely wowed by the TT. It clearly didn't evolve enough or Audi wouldn't be killing it.

The Overlooked One
Quote:
It has the looks to be desirable, the chassis to be entertaining and the refinement to be sophisticated, yet BMW has decided run with it in a middle of the road setting that it will never see a coupe or full M version. Speaking from a car enthusiast (not sales or marketing) point of view, this strategy is something that killed it legacy and its future in the line up from the start. |

Not only BMW still mounts their engines on-behind the front axle (Except for new 1 series and X1), but also all their xdrive systems are very rear biased. Audi's numbness comes from heavy front (transverse engine), and lack of balance. BMW's xdrive cars don't have that.

NOT the Boxter S, which is the fairer comparison no?

No; the price premium for a Boxster S with less options than a Z4 M40i is massive. I priced both out here and the Z4 M40i with virtually every option was $ 98,200.00 Canadian including taxes. The Boxster S with less options was $ 134,550.00
Aside from the price, I found the Boxsters S's 2.5 Turbo four to be a real yawner.....keeping in mind that here, the Z4 has more power than the one used in this test. Dave |

Might we be the case
Judging from past efforts, this has a good probability of happening mate.

I think the Supra and Toyota are the ones who will benefit
