They can spin it however they want with the times. Look what happened to Honda.

The facelift 86/BRZ already contradicted a lot of the initial design points of the first car from just sitting inside the cockpit.

Also if you look at the LFA design video on YouTube, the aluminum frame prototype was a stick shift before they switched to CFRP and subsequently the single clutch automatic.

This time around it's built by BMW passion, but with Toyota committee.
