Can you clarify something, Scott?
Z1 = compact FWD soft top roadster
Z2 = compact RWD soft top roadster
(cancelled)
Z3 = small RWD soft top roadster
Z5 = mid-size RWD hardtop roadster
Is that accurate?
If that's the case, then the Z2 wasn't cancelled per se, correct? It was just rebadged as the Z3, yes?
Also, why aren't these getting an even-numbered designation like all the other coupes? Z2 would be the compact FWD roadster, Z4 would be the small RWD roadster, and Z6 would be the upmarket hardtop roadster? Are you simply worried about diluting the existing Z4 brand?
