Cayman S as a sports car.
SLK55 as a lux cruiser.

You can get the Z4M in the mid $40k due to incentives.

The current SLK is supposed to be a much more credible sports car than the original. Having said that, I've never driven one, so I can't say from firsthand experience.

i've never driven amg version ok slk (slk55 that is). i did testdrive slk350, z4m and cs. if you want a comfy gt, go with the slk (again not the amg which i've never driven yet). if you want a driver's car, the z4m and cs should be your options. what would i choose? i would go with the z4m since i can get a much better deal these days. if money is not an issue then the cs all the way.
cannot deny the driving dynamics and the engine sound coming from behind...

go testdrive them all!

Cayman S is the better sports car

Z4M provides a lot of thrills, laughs and giggles. Just like a German muscle car. The engine is a pure gem and sounds exotic.

SLK I never drove because I always associate Mercedes cars with boring but apparently the new one is more fun to drive.

Cayman S is my choice from this group, with M Coupe second, and SLK 55 a distant third. I don't like the Merc's styling, and I think it is the least focused driver's car of the three.
