If the Z4 looked like this, BMW wouldn't have to give $2,500 to $4,500 (for the 2.5i and 3.0i, respectively) to the dealers to help move these things.

This Alfa debuted at Pebble Beach recently - pretty nice lawn, huh?

I'm not a big Alfa fan.
I think the Z4 is OK like it is.

I have never been able to warm up to the Z4 (or the X3 for that matter). To me, it's hard to mess up a 2-seat convertible, since just about everything else out there looks pretty good (Boxter, Miata, SLK).

My co-worker bought a Z4 a few months ago. Toledo Blue w/grey interior and top. Despite the stunning color, it's hideous IMO. But, she loves it and that's what matters. When she showed it off to the office, she was glowing - and I felt like I was in that Seinfeld episode ("You have to see the BABY!").

That's a nice car, but all the Z4 needs is more power.

I don't like that Alfa. It looks like Spiderman's car. I guess I am in the small minority who love the shape of the Z4...I've heard that the front end inspired the design of the E60. No question it does need larger engine options though. $45G's for 225HP, are they kidding? Where is the M model Z4?
