I asked you recently still top-4 motivated to at Article concerning The Fantastic Four. That produced to 84 (and counting) responses, therefore that I want do still keertje concerning. Since it is outside a lot nicely, this time with four brutal cabrio’s that by auto-motor-und-sport compared with each other were therefore put, which can influence your personal top-4 possibly still something.
Firstly dry the figures: All cabrio’s have 8-cilinder an engine under the cap.

I myself just as the kickoff do and go thereby short by the turning with my unmotivated top-4, which is not based purely on taste and emotion and zéker on verstand.
1. Maserati GranSport Spyder
2. BMW 650i
3. Mercedes SL 500
4. Jaguar XK 4.2
The judicious lords of auto-motor-and-sport motivate their top-4 of course, however, and come thus with total other lijstje. Cabrio’s on several points were weighed, where every car 650 could deserve points.
1. Mercedes SL 500,505 points)
2. Jaguar XK 4.2 (481 points)
3. BMW 650i (478 points)
4. Maserati GranSport Spyder (402 points)

Gimmie the SL. Imo it's design is just flawless and timeless, I could own it for all eternity and probobly never get tired of it.

1. MB (1st among equals)
1. BMW (equal to MB)
3. Aston
4. Jag

In grey the 6er looks best of the lot.

Where did you see an Aston?

Hmm, not bad. I didn't really read the figures and I don't really care that much. For roadsters/cabrios, there are other things that are more important - such as its appearance.

So yeah, I'd still take the Merc. Little has been done to change that. The Jag and the 6er come second; both are somewhat undesirable to me. Last is the Maser. The name is too close to Materazzi.. j/k Nah, it looks old and is kinda old. The Gransport is just another halfhearted effort to freshen it up.

Wow, 6er look great in that colour. SL is more elegant and easier lines for the eye but 6er has more presence. Tough choice!

wow it more or less kicked the competitions butt.. 24p down to the 2nd place..
but no news..everyone know that SL is killer

everybody also know german AMS are MB lovers. We have discussed that before.

That shows that they have great taste
