a larger, 2 door convertable Bimmer wore off, my reaction was..........ehh. Very vanilla looking. It was a light silver metalic with the white ragtop down. I passed it and then I pulled to the right lane and let it pass me so I could get a good look. The most descriptive thing I can say is that it was rather non-descript. Kind of a InfiNexussota hybrid. (...get ready with the rimshot here...) Looking at it from the rear could only make me feel that Ben Afflick will be very familiar with it's trunk.(ba-dum-bump!)
A real package shelf for the trunk lid.
Of course with all that being said, if any vehicle testing magazines out there are looking to let a non-biasist driver have one for a few months, I'm only an e-mail away.
I'm sure that it is a technological marvel. It's like 345hp as I recall. It will need time to work the kinks out, but I bet I'll be seeing a lot of them on the roads down here.
I think the hardtop will really show off the design lines better than the convertable though. It seems that most convertables in the past few years are all much fuglier than their hard headed brothers. Have you noticed that? The M3s are pretty sweet, but the Lexus, the Bugs, the RX8s and even the PT Cruisers are all kinda rough with hats on. IMHO of course.
Anyone else see them on the road yet??
