And note the reference to testing the upcoming G29 Z4 (the Z5 name has been trashed):

I assume you are referring to this:

"A heavily camouflaged prototype of Toyota’s new sports car – co-developed with BMW – is out being tested against a Porsche Boxster. "

Where does it say the Z5 name has been trashed?

Interesting to me is the new M5 will have no manual transmission and is using a traditional automatic rather than a dual clutch. BIG mistakes on both part IMHO. Why on earth would you go back to an automatic when the new dual clutches are so good?

Funny how vague the spokesman is. He won't say it is a Z4 for sure, but will say it won't be a Z5..... maybe a Z6?
