Thanks Memphis. As I'm sure everyone here can relate with ordering something sight unseen, I'm scouring the net for info as I languish for the next 6 months awaiting pickup. So I appreciate any and all feedback as my anxiety plays out here.
Agreed, I think it's a bunch of hype right now.. But, reading between the lines, what I do find a little disconcerting is the lack of real world, hands on reviews. As this article clearly illustrates, most of what I've read so far seems to be regurgitated press junkets and/or re-hashed reviews from 2 or 3 journalists on the planet that have actually driven the car. I mean it was released as a 2010 in Europe wasn't it? Shouldn't we have some footage of something other than that of the press release?? It kinda feels like i've ordered "Z4 iS-VaporWare".....
