Had the Z4 for a year... what's next?

FloridaBoy · 10-07-2007, 10:30 AM

Well, it's been a year with the Z4.
Love it in some ways, hate it in others.
Not completely tired of it by any means, but wondering... just wondering... what my next convertible play car will be?

New Z4? been there done that.
...unless the new style captivates me...

Corvette? ...nice but it's a Chevy.

Lexus SC 430? ...smooth, smooth, smooth. Too smooth?

Audi TT? ...not reliable enough.

350Z? ...always liked em, but... a downgrade.

Cadillac XLR? nice, but too pricey for a GM.

Antique? ...maybe an older vette? hmmm...

Thanks I just looked at those...

The Atom looks too kit car for me, kinda cool tho.

The Lotus Exige S looks to be an awesome performer but I'm not into the track scene and we're talking $57,915 for a Toyota 4 cylinder there...

Both interesting cars though!

Yeah, that 135i vert might be a contender...
A beautiful car really, but somehow not quite sporty enough for me.
Kinda reminds me of the smooth Lexus SC430, but the Lexus has a 300 hp V-8. I think I would prefer the Corvette or a new Z4 over the 135i vert.
That back seat is nice though!

I have also seen the Saturn Sky, but... naahhh. I like a power top.

Silververtu · 10-07-2007, 06:44 PM

i thought the Saturn Sky has power top.

shiyan · 10-07-2007, 06:52 PM

M Roadster or C6

FloridaBoy · 10-07-2007, 06:57 PM

Hey I think I found it!
Sure the price might be an issue, so I'm now taking donations...

Roland · 10-07-2007, 07:09 PM

What no Aston Martin V8 Vantage?

Who says I'm dreaming... I just found a FANTASTIC DEAL on a Murcielago...

BimmerZealot · 10-07-2007, 10:41 PM

Z4M Roadster // Supercharger =] plenty to "play" with there.

Lotus Elise, E92 335i hardtop vert, S2000, Supra (Technically T-Top Verts But Still Verts, heh)

Wow, that a beauty. But I am not sure I like all that custom body work. Maybe if it was red...
