I think the Porsche looks absolutely smashing. The new Z4 tops it in the interior department but that drab dirt color does nothing for an otherwise pleasing design. Boxster for me. Though I never see anyone but middle-aged gray haired men driving them... Then again I only see middle-aged women driving old Z4s so what does any of it really matter?

Funny thing, here in Stockholm both Boxsters and Z4:s are generally driven by younger men and women, 30's and early 40's.

^ Yep, here too. 911 is for older people and the younger ones take the Boxter. Unless they are rich, they then obviously buy the 911 straight away Usually a white turbo cabrio or something like that.

Z4 II is not a baby roadster. But a grown up car only slightly smaller than an SL. The Z3 was a baby roadster and the first Z4 maybe to a lesser extend.

Z2 will be the new baby roadster.

I chose the Boxster. it's still the best looking of them all, even after all these years.
The SLK is not my taste at all, the TT is too bloated, the Z4 way too heavy (in pics at least).

Boxster would be my choice. Although if I'm honest, I'm not a great fan of any of the vehicles shown here.

Style-wise, the Z4 takes it in a walk. The car is drop-dead, ridiculously gorgeous.

I've seen the new Z4 with various wheels now IRL and these are the best for Z4. 19" wheels and probably the most expensive ones for the Z4.

Hard to choose....love the TTS and the Z4 is stunning too....then there is the SLK. Don't want a base Boxster, must be a Boxster S for me. Forget the ill-fitting, outdated Nissan.

Really? If these are the best, then I'd go straight to aftermarket.

Saw my first Z4 in Italy. It is drop-dead gorgeous - more so in the metal. Pity it's so much heavier than the E85 and now completely distances itself from going toe-to-toe with the Boxster. I went for the Boxster in this case, purely from an enthusiast's point of view which saddens me as I really wanted the Z4 to shake up the establishment from a driver enjoyment perspective.

Well I finally voted, for the BMW. A very tough decision, but the TTS has on the wrong shoes here.

Don't really care for any of them, but I'll go with the SLK. I'm surprised that so many like the "toe nail" look of the Z4.



I guess when the New SLK comes out it will be the other way around. Go figure...

I cant believe the Z4 isnt getting more votes. The car is dropdead gorgeous and one of the best designs this year. I simply love it, too bad the car failed in the "driver department".

The BMW Z4 is, IMO, the best looking small roadster on the market today by a country mile. It looks even better in the tin than in the pics.

BMW needs to get this Tii concept up and running and do something with this new Z4 to make it a more compelling dynamic proposition.

There is a real Performance line coming to Z4, so that'll solve the dynamic issues the car has now. And of course an engine upgrade to 326 hp.
Z4 will look dead sexy with performance seats in it:

Other then the fact that is the newest roadster...I don't see where all this Beauty is in the Z4?

And yes the SLK does need to be replace ASAP.
