LoL...that one is all yours.

Hah yes everytime I see an Aston, it makes me want to cry because I dont have one. Maybe I will find a $125,000 bill on the street tomorrow? C5 vette doesn't do much for me.

Questionable handling and questionable top. Like I said though, I'd love to have a Sky body on an S2000 chassis with a Z4 motor.

Urgh, not flattering in white.

Im about the least gay, gay dude ever though.

Ugh, hate the vert.

Yea I do like the Z4 coupe a lot, but like you said it's too much. The Cooper S is looking kinda good. Low miles 2006 modesl can be had for $22-24k Heh...I'm getting a little ADHD with this whole thing at this point. Oooh nice Z4 here! Wait, sweet Cooper S there!

Eh most of those for $25k are way up there in miles. Plus the M-B build quality is a little sketchy the last several years.

nah those don't do anything for me That's what Cory said last night too. But....nah I dont think so.Ive been looking at the Z4, S2000 and Cooper S so far.

Oooooor not.

How's that?

Well OK....what I really want is Sky body on S2000 chassis with a Z4 motor.

That's 3.

Nah those don't really excite me. MX-5 doesn't either. Oy..

It is, but thats too much. If I actually did this it would have to be no more than $25k-ish. So the S2000 is looking pretty good.

Did I mention I was looking mainly at cars like the S2000, Z4 or 350z? Not really digging that Volvo Cory. Too bad the C70 is $40-45k.

Im starting to semi-seriously look at a new car. Maybe even just a second one... Im looking at certified used Honda S2000's at the moment....

10 now

Yep they made seven. Chrysler was the first OEM to produce a hard top.

Actually Chrysler started it all in 1946 with the Town and Country They did sedans, verts aaaand a 2 door hardtop.

Agreed. My original post said: ...but I'll play it on the safe side for now until we see how much the V8 motor adds to the Genesis MSRP.

Well, they have at least 3 cars planned for the BH platform that I know of. One being the Tiburon. So they have economies of scale working pretty well for them with the BH platform. Current Tiburon MSRP's range from $16,695-22,095...I doubt they'd want to stray too far from that. I think a base MSRP between $17.5-$19.5k seems pretty reasonable. Who knows, they could even ditch the base 4 cylinder and give you a V6 for the entry model. Here is a crazy thought. How about a V8 Tiburon that comes in at, or ever under, the Solstice GXP MSRP of $27,115?

I didn't say any of that AT ALL. You are putting words in my mouth. HERE is what I said: My point was, the extra costs associated with going pillarless are easier to justify with a higher price point/profit margin car like a CLK. In other words, Mercedes would have as easier time making the business case.
