| Imo, they should've added the new Z4 & Cayman-S for even exciting results! However, my choice is;  1st. 135i: If money is not an issue, 135i is the pocket-rocket to go for! Does everything just right!  2nd. 370Z: This car is a Cayman-S on discount & probably the most-reliable of the ring!  3rd. Rx8: A great car with 4 proper appointments but poor mpg figures! Fl model looks a bit odd!  4th. Solstice Gxp: It's a Pontiac, a reason enough for me to avoid her! Another Gm experiment went wrong!

| I think the Pontiac Solstice GXP is really cool looking car but its not my choice here. Its either the Nissan or the babybimmer.

| 370Z - the ugliest car in this comparison. Very capable obviously, but just ugly.

| A comparison of four cars I really don't have any love for... It would have to be the Nissan though. It's supposed to be a great drive and I suppose it's the best-looking of that bunch (which is not saying much  ).

| Good sh!t here man. I'd take that 370Z as well. The only thing is, besides the driving dynamics, the 1er and Z cater to different crowds. Those who need a back seat are not gonna look at the Z, and vice-versa.
