Red face MT's latest roadster challenge

Here's the latest roadster review, first year an S2000 won't be in the mix...

I can't say I disagree with the winner, the Porsche is the complete package imo. Best balance among power, fun, utility, and style.

No surprise there that the Porsche got 1st place.
But I have to say that I LOVE the styling of the Z4.

BMW should stop making two seaters. They got that coupe/sedan thing down packed though. The Z4 looks great inside and out but its FULL of Fail.

Porsche is in its own league!

Yup - the new Z4 finally looks like it was designed by a single mind - all the lines finally match! Much better looking.

Too bad BMW destroyed the driving dynamics...

Just wanted to see if anyone noticed...if you go to motortrend.com, and click on ROAD TESTS, the icon for convertibles is an s2000. Good times.

Decent finish for the Audi, considering it's a hyper-Beetle with a drivetrain setup that's a complete and utter disgrace as far as roadsters are concerned. BMW has really lost its bearing to be beaten by that.
