Z4 Test Drive

I think we all have seen more than enough pictures of the new Z4. What we now need is for them to test drive the car to see if it still handle like a real roadster like present Z4 and Boxster and to see how much the overall effect of the noticablly extra weight has on the handling aspect of the car. As you all now, looks are one thing, however, if the car does not perform as a real light and agile roadster with BMW handling qualities than look elsewhere. No judgements being made here, just simply implying wethere this new roadster is still a "BMW roadster" or will it more closely drive as a crusier?......will see.

I would not expect too many test drives until summer or later. But I don't know, a dealer would have a better idea. I am just thinking there are not going to be many sitting around if any, there probably wil be a waiting list. So how could anyone test drive any if there are none at any dealers.

I'm going to the NAIAS next Thursday (the 22nd). I'll see if they'll let me take it out.
