as long as the visibility is good in the back, build it and send it to the states

It is not that long ago that the minivan then SUV and crossovers pushed the traditional family sedan or station wagon aside as market leaders and that was all done based sold on practicality and hauling abilities. Now that said I doubt that the North Americian buyers would flock to this but it could corner yet another niche market.

This. All day long this! The manufacturers do not make performance cars to sell performance cars. They make them to promote and sell the volume vehicles. Sure they make a big deal about the GTs, S and R versions of their cars but that is be able to flog the ESs, LTs and base models at a much greater margins. It has been this way for decades.

I love the funky look of the Ferrari FF and the BMW Z3M, unfortunately the rear just doesn't quite look right on this concept. It can be fixed, and if it is I hope it goes to market! At worst it can be an ugly stepchild, at best it could be legendary.

The whole change the roof line and add a hatch is what I meant when I said they need to do it right if they want to draw in the "enthusiast" crowd. We will not be fooled by some slightly changed lines and would expect more. Again though we are the exception not the rule. Like the RS2 we are not the target market for this concept.

I have never seen an attractive shooting brake. I just do not understand te attraction some folks have for them but to each their own. Interesting that it has the old body style and wheels. This must not be a new concept or maybe it is not that official or it seems like they would have at least put the new front end and wheels on it.

I was just asking a question. I design things and from a designer's perspective, it makes no sense to me. I've stated what I wanted from the start, which the current cars don't quite have and the refresh/update isn't out yet. I'll be buying a 2017 BRZ when they come out and I'll be glad I waited. You seem to like to give me a hard time on here for stating my opinions and not owning one yet. I'm obviously not a hater of this car - I just wanted to see it progress in a positive direction.
