| The Z4's interior is just in a different league from the SLK's - one must wonder how they can even think the SLK can compete in that department? Looks-wise, I think the Z4 cuts a better angle too. And the twin-turbo seals my decision.

| Voted for the Z4 here!! Absolutely stunning and most beautiful roadster on the market!! Nevertheless the facelifted SLK looks still great…not as agressive as the Z4, but a nice roadster with more "understatement".

| I'm not the BMW sycophant I once was, but I have to stick my neck out and say that the new Z4 truly smacks one over on the SLK in a huge way. From a purely aesthetic point of view, the Z4 looks like it's a whole generation ahead of the SLK, and possibly in a class above. BMW really nailed this one.

 | Let's just say that the new SLK can't come soon enough now; it's a bit like the GLK vs. X3 here, only the Z4 is the GLK  The ONLY thing I like better on the SLK is the shape of the door in the side view shot. But that's a very small thing and will go completely unnoticed when you see the cars next to eachother in the flesh... I have finally seen the Z4 in real life for the first time (same place they had the E-coupé): sDrive 3.0i at the Dutch national car show.....beautiful car irl. I wasn't allowed to touch it or sit in it though, so I can't really comment on it yet. Quote:
But I would vote for the GLK over the X3 too

| If memory serves me correct - we should see a new SLK in about 2 years?

| The current version was launched in 2005 if my memory serves me well, so it is on sale now for about 4.5, 5 years and will have around 3 years to go if this car has a 7 year lifecycle (the previous gen SLK was on sale for 7 years)

| Both are great cars. However I liked the last generation Z4 more from a design point of view. The interior of the new Z4 is very nice though.
