I posted it earlier. I think they tried to follow the S but didn't want to make it too obvious.

no match.

Amen, brother.

As I predicted earlier, I'm already seeing dozens of Z4's driven in Newport, Corona Del Mar and Laguna.

Who would of ever thought (especially if you were weened on Japanese sportscars from the 80's) that it would be the Germans (well, the company at least) who seem to be struggling with automobile asthetics these days. The interior of a German automobile (to me) has always promised function over form. The Z4's interior looks like an exercise in what NOT to put into a convertible (bright, edgy materials that will reflect sunlight directly into the faces of its occupants). When viewed one after the other (from the side), it's the Honda that reflects symmetry while the Z4's profile is a hodge-podge of slashes, humps and a general incohesiveness of design.
How this type of bastardization can be rewarded is beyond me. I'm all for pushing the envelope, but what good is it to go "under the knife" when you uncover the bandages and Halle Berry (Z3) has been replaced with halitosis (Z4).

I saw a Z4 driving the other day (I was in the Pilot ). The driver was a middle aged woman with a business suit on.

Whats wrong with peroxide blondes in their late 30's/early 40's? Are you suggesting they are not allowed to own/drive the Z4? Are they allowed to drive the S2000 or indeed any sports car at all?
