I am not a fan of the FWD direction, but I suppose the strategy may work for BMW in order to increase sales in colder areas and offer a cheap entry roadster. Are there even any FWD roadsters available anymore?
My first car was a 1997 Honda del Sol and it was really fun to drive. My parents only let me get it due to that fact that it was FWD since I lived in Connecticut where the winters were pretty bad. I could see this new Z2 being a smart idea for younger buyers in cold climates that can't afford the Z4 and prefer FWD in the snow. Honestly though, I've had three BMWs with RWD in the snow and never had any issues getting around (all with winter tires of course).
I have heard reports that the Z2 would compete against the Miata, but that is RWD and I think the Z2 as a FWD would be a hard sell for the enthusiast type that typically would buy a Miata.
