OT Lotus released a Evora that is targeted toward the GT4 market. I really like the Lotus brand and I hope it can do something positive for them. They need it.

The unfortunate problem of all today's sports cars: they are too big, thus not much lighter. Supercars are almost as long a compact sedans. WTF?

We're all bimmer fans but criticising the GT4 for being too big or long to be sporting is a little odd. Agree the 2 series all round is bettered packaged with 4 seats and a decent boot, it's why I had an M235i. On the wheelbase front the stability difference on motorways of my F10 vs F22 was immense.

The US gets 600 Cayman GT4 cars. And apparently PCNA is rumored to have offered a right of first refusal to all those on the Porsche 918 Spyder VIP 'early access' program, allowing these privilege customers to secure a Cayman GT4 allocation ahead of the normal 'line' ("It is my pleasure to offer you, per your 918 Spyder VIP privileges, the opportunity to be among the first to acquire the new Cayman GT4."). PCNA offered them one week to decide and will allocate the remaining expected production (out of 600 for North America) to dealers. (source: http://rennlist.com/forums/987-981-f...an-gt4-27.html).

BMW makes a 1M and sells 740 in a year and 4 years later people are dying for the M2. Porsche stirs the pot with about 520 (600 less a random guess of 80 privileged 918 owned ) available GT4 just in time for the M2 to hit the market... Which manufacturer actually wants to sell some sports cars ? Crank up the 2 series production line. BMW AG should be ashamed if they aren't ready to move 1500-2000 M2s a year. |

Just watched the commercial, anyone else think that the shot of the chap moving the PDK gear lever to the left and the flipping of paddles looks so feminine in comparison to the actual changing of gears in the GT4?
