In the latest issue of Car and Driver Magazine, there is a blurb on a new BMW
roadster, the Z2. Based on Z4 mechanicals, it will be shorter than the Z4 and
powered by 4 cylinder engines only (at least one of which is said to be
turbocharged), and designed to sell against the Miata at "under $30,000". Could
this in reality be the car that revives the TRiumph name? Since the car will be
built in SC (they claim it will come out in 2010), if it called a TRiumph, will
it be a British Car, a German car, or an American car? Whatever it is, the
artist's rendition clearly looks like a BMW, with no hint that I can see of
TRiumph.
