They will certainly be able to sell more Supras with the minimum entry price significantly lowered. And it can't be all *that* much trouble for them to offer it as the engine has already been developed for the convertible version of the car... Seems like a no-brainer to me, I'm pretty psyched that they're bringing it to the U.S. after all.
I’m kind of confused by your statement because the motor has been developed for other markets from the start, so the fact that it is in the Z4 isn’t a consideration. Maybe you aren’t aware, but the 2.0T was already CARB certified from the start as well, ‘just in case’ they said.

Also, the cheaper model isn’t always the one that sells better, but I agree that they will sell more units selling at multiple price points. The Mustang GT sold more than the V6 and 2.0T combined. It is all about value. The RZ might be worth the money over the SZ-R. I would buy an STI over a WRX because there is so much value. I don’t know if the RZ is worth the premium price because we don’t know the price of the SZ-R.
