Yes, because there’s nothing better than having a Toyota tech try to figure out what’s going on with all of the BMW systems when it inevitably throws a light on the dash.

Good point. That does seem like it will be a bit of a cluster for dealers- they'll have to buy BMW diagnostic computers, special tools, train their techs just for that 1 model.

Probably cheaper to just hire some valets to take the cars to the closest BMW dealer

I kinda like the BMW version, plus it gets better engine choices, no?
And a car this impractical needs a drop top

I actually like the car. It’s not that bad looking esp in the dark blue color they offer. I like the 2 seat hatch aspect and when the manual comes out, you know there will be one, I think for the price it would be hard to resist. The aftermarket will go crazy with it and I might even own one used some day.

I don't see a manual being offered, no.
