This weekend’s Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance will also be the site of the BMW M4 Concept’s debut. The M4 is expected to bow in production form in September at the Frankfurt Auto Show – this concept version should be very close to it.

- Jalop1991 is this anything like a cheap high end German car?
- HotRod Not me personally, but yes - lower prices will dramatically increase the EV's appeal.
- Slavuta "the price isn’t terrible by current EV standards, starting at $47,200"Not terrible for a new Toyota model. But for a Vietnamese no-name, this is terrible.
- Slavuta This is catch22 for me. I would take RAV4 for the powertrain alone. And I wouldn't take it for the same thing. Engines have history of issues and transmission shifts like glass. So, the advantage over hard-working 1.5 is lost.My answer is simple - CX5. This is Japan built, excellent car which has only one shortage - the trunk space.
- Slavuta "Toyota engineers have told us that they intentionally build their powertrains with longevity in mind"Engine is exactly the area where Toyota 4cyl engines had big issues even recently. There was no longevity of any kind. They didn't break, they just consumed so much oil that it was like fueling gasoline and feeding oil every time

I think its revealing that the article on the junkyard mail jeep drew 32 comments, and this new BMW M4 has enticed only 28 (before mine)! What does that tell you? 1) Not a sports car? 2) A turbo 6-cylinder with 438 HP is not going to cut it? 3) Absence of manual transmission a colossal mistake? 4) "Regurgitation Gold" is probably not the best color choice... -----------------------
Shame about that cut line across the front of the hood. You know, the one BMW tries to hide in all their marketing materials. It just screams of cost-cutting. The E46 M3 at the 2000 NAIAS was perfect; this one looks like a clown car.
