And you still have not clarified the vague statement above. We are clearly at an impasse and truthful I have lost interest.

This thing is going to be wide… if the front and rear fenders actually make it into production.

I’m pretty sure they are trying to fit the M3/4 (275/285) tire package under the car. With that kind of aggressive tread it has to be wide.

Yup am I really liking those hips.

Yep, no doubt given that it will ride on a modified G80/G82 suspension.

Me too…

Stay’s very flat and man that thing is wide.

This is part of the reason why I believe the LCI G87 will receive mild hybridization which BTW would more than likely equal auto only. To my knowledge a manual transmission and mild hybridization currently do not coexist.

NHTSA finalizes stricter feel economy standers for light vehicles ~ The new fuel economy standards will require an industrywide fleet average of about 49 mpg in the 2026 model year.

Well, BMW has no issue paying gas guzzler on M cars.

Honda sold the Insight in manual, iirc, so it’s definitely possible.

Because they just passes it along to the customer. My ‘03 E39 540 had a gas guzzler tax.

BTW, crazy the M5 was just another $10k.

Good to know re manual and mild hybird Honda. Still want my G87 full ICE.
