If its basically a BRZ with 250hp/300ft/lb it will be a hit.
If its an overwrought, ugly, rebadged BMW, it might struggle.

Sadly The only way they sell loads of them is if it's a all electric SUV.
I'm excited to see what it is and hope is is similar weight/size/power/price to the existing 370Z but updated.

And it still won't look as good as the Z32.

Hard to go wrong with something that's BRZ-sized.
Little bit of tweaking and it looks closer to the old Z cars than the 350/370.
New GT-R next?
Interesting, how they put the worst of the Z cars together in the right side of the pic.
1970 240Z with box flares?
This should be interesting.
I agree with the 250 hp FRS niche. But it would be a tall order to fill without slipping into the Mustang and Hyundai Genesis territory.
Wonder if there is more wiggle room by going after Miata market space?
I can't see it going into the Supra market either, so looking forward to what is put forth.
