It is ugly – Hard top convertibles NEVER look good.

^agree.. its be gonna difficult for other automakers to beat the balance and driving dynamics of the mid-engined porsche.

The new Z4 wins on design. But performance and driving dynamics? You’ll have to give that to Porsche.

Have you read the reviews of the Z4? It’s no longer that engaging to drive.

Best Performance, driving dynamics, exterior and interior design and quality. Obviously the best – Z4!

The Z4 and the Merc are the only ones who’s proportions look right with the top down, the TT is two stubby, the Porsche is hideous from the side and the 350Z is hideous from the back. Problem with the Merc is it’s hideous from the front. The Z4 is best shape and design there, problem is, the colour of the Z4 is hideous!!!!

@Lee: But I think the Mercedes SL looks good with its hard top on.

It’s got to be the TT-S, it’s gorgeous!

If only the Z4 didnt have an ugly hard top. The interior is the best but the hard top completly ruins it for me so I have to give my vote to the Boxster. The worst thing BMW did was copy the Mercedes with the girly hard top.

I read the article in Autobild. The Z4 was 2nd after the TTS because of cost reasons. But my winner is still the Z4.

I think TFSI stands for Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection not sure trough

@GA: I believe you are correct on the 350Z, but I always thought the Audi's TFSI engine is indeed supercharged.

Z4 (love it, the sexiest)
SLK (surprisingly, it still looks so hot)
TTS
Boxster
350Z

Not be an ass but the TT has a turbocharged not supercharged engine and the Nissan has a 3.5lt V6 not 3.0lt.

Anyway looks wise i think i’d go with the Z4 purely because being the newest, it looks the freshest out of the lot. Seen way too many of the others so they no longer excite me much..

I like the Z4, but it is the most expensive of the group by quite a good bit right ?

1 BMW Z4
2 Porshe Boxter
3 Merc SLK
4 Audi TT
5 Nissan 350Z (I don’t think the new 370Z looks ANY better.)
