A $20k difference is not likely, but as much as $10k+ could be, yes.
I'll buy that.

Q: Presumably it’s going to share the engine architecture, so how has Toyota developed the engine, suspension etc differently from BMW? Is it a more focused car?

A: From our side Toyota wanted to make a pure sports car, and BMW has a slightly different direction. Engine calibration is quite different between the two cars. Even if the hardware is the same in some elements, the calibration is completely different - the driving experience will be very different to the Z4.

I think $10k max, otherwise they might lose too much money. I'm actually curious if there was an agreement on Toyota's part on how low they are able to sell their car for.
