Make it AWD give it 400hp and I would be interested if the design was slightly more aggressive.

Just a bizarre thought. Since the 2 AT is FWD, would it be technically possible to add an electric motor that drives the rear wheels? The concept car had an electric motor but it drove the front wheels. Looks like it didn't make it to production.
Most hybrids with different engines per axle seem to be RWD gas + FWD electric. But eliminating the driveshaft to the rear diff might save some weight.

Not that bad, way way way better the the standard crappy one. For a minivan the interior was descent. Make it with xDrive and it just might sell. |

The rear is nice. BUT they need to do some serious redesigning to the front. I mean

At this point, why not?

I own an AMG R63. I will tell you, I would buy an updated one in a heartbeat. I have kids and there is nothing close. It is Corvette fast from 50-150 and there is no other vehicle I take on long road trips. (This includes my '12 X5 50i)
If it was awd and made decent power (without the N63 or S63 motor), I would buy it tomorrow. |

Can't we just call this a JCW with BMW badges?
