Lose the shooting brake malarkey and go full clownshoe. So much freaking want!

Although I'd still dig the Jalop chop.

Bryan T · 01-09-2013, 01:22 PM

I'd buy it.

quentinberg007 · 01-09-2013, 01:38 PM

Yup, I'd be on board.

Balantz · 01-09-2013, 02:21 PM

Hell yes.

SoapBox · 01-09-2013, 02:22 PM

Yes please.

Snowphun · 01-09-2013, 02:25 PM

I would happily buy either of those. I hear they can put a FI engine in there too.

fredzy · 01-09-2013, 02:33 PM

This thing would be a sensible answer to the M 135i 3-door, which seems massively popular**. 2/3 the power, at 2/3 the price!

EDIT **everywhere but in the US, where it is assumed it would be laughed at and languish on dealer lots for its' hatch-backerry.

Skunkers · 01-09-2013, 03:06 PM

Looks awesome. It will never happen, and even if it does we won't get it in the US. But it's an awesome what-if.

slimfit · 01-09-2013, 03:14 PM

Make it so

Hondaslayer · 01-09-2013, 03:34 PM

BMW Z3 coupe with Toyota pricing and Subaru engineering?

Yes please!

I can haz in Tangerine?

I'd hit it without question, in Aspen White please.

THeArtoF- · 01-09-2013, 07:53 PM

I love the idea of this! It would most definitely need a turbo though.

Here is my attempt

424wrx · 01-09-2013, 08:08 PM

i think it looks pretty good.

I see this white thing posted around here alllll the time as the forbidden fantasy fruit everyone lusts over, and every time I think "is this what a BRZ hatch would look like?" No. I think it bothers me because it looks like something I would have drawn up when I was 13. Which isn't a direct insult, as I was quite the artist when I was young. But my tastes were 13-ish. I'm glad someone else wasn't feeling it.

I'm feelin the red thing.

The problem with the white one is the flares. Pull the flares and it looks fine.

Yeah, it ruins those beautiful classic flowing lines!

WhiteKnightSTi · 01-10-2013, 12:41 PM

Yes yes yes!

I don't understand why everyone other than BMW thinks that just because we want RWD, we somehow don't want practicality. The hot-hatch phenomenon proves that people would gladly trade -2% performance for +50% utility.
