Z6 Speculation?

[PanterroR]

Will BMW's Z4 become a Z6? The Bavarian car maker is about to develop a replacement for the current Z4 sports model, which has been on the market since fall 2002. According to spy photographer and insider Hans G. Lehmann, the all new successor to the Z4 is schedule for release in September 2009.
No prototypes have been sighted on the roads yet, just some speculations and a possible name change into "Z6" are in the air. Furthermore talk is that the new coupe will adapt the engines from the new BMW 3-Series Coupe. After the jump you'll find two illustrations of how the new model could look like upon its launch…

To be honest with you, if the grille was don properly, i'd say that the car in this PS looks 10 times better than the actual Z4. Mainly because of the front lights wich are, IMO, the main reason why i don't like the Z4. Plus, the front bumper looks way better than the real one. It gives it very agressive look, opposit to Z4's sad and dumb look from the front. Oh, and i like the rear lights better as well.

All this, IMO, of course...

I dont see it fitting in anywhere, but its very cool!

Why not? It says a replacement, not new car or segment or such...

Well, since they've been pushing around numbers with the Z-line I don't see why they wouldn't or couldn't call it a Z6. Of course, that woud make sense if they wanted to move the car into a higher price bracket - which very well could happen with the retractable hardtop.

Who knows, maybe they'll try to make more space at the bottom for a more affordable roadster.

It`s very nice but almost looks too large, like an SL compeditor.
The design is very BMW like except the grill.

Seems like they are trying to make it look like the new Saturn Sky, and Pontiac Solstice!
