And just because the shape changes doesn't mean that the driving dynamics get worse, just that it changes. Who knows, maybe it could even improve? (I know, blasphemous ) I say, if these people want it, build it |

It's not as if they are going to turn a sports car into an economy car. So I really don't see a problem here. I've always hoped they had a hatch or sedan version.
Also a bump for those who missed this. |

Was always a fan of the BMW M Coupe.... and lord, do I miss having a rear windshield wiper.... so yes, I like this.... and the extra material needed to build the hatch might help with weight distribution too, no?

I am not a fan. The back-end is just too sexy as-is...

So much fun, it takes a red light to realize the dog is in the front seat, and your wife is in the boot.
Think of the marketing potential. |

Definitely my favorite hatchback rendering. I just wonder how much extra weight the added roof will be. Great excuse to go with cf roof but that's a $30k right there
I'd still buy it! Last edited by ichitaka05; 10-28-2013 at 06:21 PM. |

Raise it. Add a turbo and awd. That's the next WRX.

Hint: the former is in the anus of auto history, the later is blooming as ever In other words if there is demand then I don't see a problem in having GT86 derivatives. |

That blue render is hideous. The white hatchback with the roof spoiler is more beautiful than all the roses in the land.

I rather like it, but I'm partial to most Shooting Brake designs, like BMW's Z3 Coupe, Volvo P1800, MGB-GT, M-B W203 wagon, etc. It certainly gives the car the functionality some people complain about it not having.

There's a small market for this in the US with the stance kids. You know, the ones who will slam them and throw racks on the roof even though they don't ride/surf/snowboard.
