^^ true….but having another button to press and out of nowhere a wind screen pops up from the windshield header that gives even more wind buffering would be the coolest thing! and since MB designed it, I’m sure it’s very effective!!

Actually the 300 ZX TT has a little spoiler that pops up when you remove the T top. Works the same (although not as much wind to deal with as with the drop top).

Now……Nissan is part of the “German Engineering” Team! Could be a smart move!! Renault-Nissan and Daimler could work. Ghosn will insist - BusinessWeek |

but you linked a out of the box development motor..and it looks a little bit like that the VQ37VHR is not designed for the present of CO2 reduction the VQ37VHR will mark the Dinosaur age of "big blocks" for europe engine develompment/placement.. comparable with the porsche 911 or cayman s (Variocam Plus engines) with the VW owner ship of porsche the out of the box sizing will go on (Platform Porsche Cayenne,VW Touareg, Audi Q7 is present) next step is the Cayman transformation with the insolvent bougth Carman(Giha) Fab playing against the finnisch OEM Cayman manufacture to build a new "Cayman" (Porsche,VW,Audi middle motor ..soup) BMW and the others are already arrived in turbo downsized age in europe ..the 135i is also on that trip(first step..next step hyprid pseudo HP with 2.0L turbo). of course only an opinion

In the US…..Ford is also in the downsizing. The new Taurus V6 twin turbo and the new Explorer with a turbo 4 cylinder! With all the European sports cars………you picked my ride!! How is the Black holding up? Really can’t be that hard to maintain! Mine should arrive at the end of this month…..it’s been a long three months!! |
