    Rumorpile: Where Does BMW and Toyota Plan To Build Their New Joint Sports Car?

      A possible production has been picked for the joint BMW and Toyota sports car

    The long-rumored joint roadster/sports car project that BMW and Toyota are working on has found a home for production. German newspaper Kleine Zeitung reports Magna Steyr - a unit of Magna International based in Canada and specializes in building low-volume models - has been contracted by BMW to build a new model at the Graz, Austria plant starting in 2018. The plan is to have an annual production run of 60,000 vehicles.

     

    BMW has confirmed that it will be contracting Magna Steyr to build a new model next year after deciding it would end production of the Countryman and Paceman at the factory - possibly the next 5-Series sedan. The Paceman will be axed while the Countryman will be moved to the Netherlands to the factory that produces the standard MINI.

     

    Neither BMW or Magna Steyr commented on what the model would be.

     

    Considering the low production numbers in question, many believe that is reserved for the new BMW roadster (possibly named Z5) and the Toyota Supra.

    • The Movie Say Anything Staring John Cusack was filmed in the Greater Seattle Washington Area, specifically: Bellevue Mall interior, filmed passing the exterior of Westlake mall in Downtown Seattle, driving past the teapot location is actually in Tacoma Washington, you can read about it here: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2977, When Diana and her dad are driving to graduation, that is filmed in the Fremont neighborhood, the Dicks Drive in location for burgers and fries is the Dick's located in Wallingford, the prison scene is filmed at Spokane correctional facility. That is all that I remember of the film and I have it in my library, so I tend to watch it a bit. 😛 
    • In looking at the houses, it could have been.  Any idea on which neighborhoods?  (That scene looks like L.A., with the vegetation suggestive of a drier climate.) The car?  That grille and stacked headlamps!  I very much miss seeing those cars on the road.
    • Great Movie, Song and Car!!! Not to mention filmed in Seattle!!!
