Don't know how I missed this pole, but easily the Z4 for me.

Z4 is easily the best looking, both outside and inside by a big margin, but if all the reports of it going soft is true, I will take the boxter.
Anyway my order: Boxster, Z4, 370Z, TTS, SLK.

I know that I'm a MB fan but here I would choose the new Z4. SLK is a great car, driven it and it is has its own strong points but defenetly I would go for the new Z4. It has so much more presence on the road and also it looks much more aggresive. Porsche and Audi just look plain stupid with the roof up from the side profile - so does the BMW and this is the only strong point where in the design terms I like the SLK more.

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).
