Jeez people,..

... there is no crystal ball!

Products, priorities, projects, they ALL change.

If somebody came here pretending to be able to specifically name every model to be released in the next 10 years I'd call them a ******* liar.

Amongst other industries that the company I work for supply, Automotive is one... we have tooling on our shelves, bought, paid for and never used... these things can get so far sometimes, and still get changed at the last minute. The model may get shelved, or maybe just the name changed.. but things will change during the evolution of a project. Studies will be commisioned, money will be spent, but at the end of the day, something changing is never more than ONE decision away. The same is true for the way retail products are marketed, until it goes on sale, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is subject to change..

.. just my two cents BTW

Interesting post, looking at the last vehicle 2014 the X7 I would have thought the current X5 would have been replaced about then.

Is the Z2 still on track for 2011? There has been no news for at least a year. There were rumors it's been canceled.

SCOTT26 · 08-25-2010, 09:08 PM

Z2 is scheduled for 2013.

As Coupé or Roadster? What about the 2 Series and M2?

last i saw just recently scott said at gcf that the z2 would come out as a single model, the roadster. seems that the coupe may have been shelved for now. too bad, had my eyes on the coupe.
