At the expense of a 350Z, however. Compared to the Nissan, the BMW is down right exciting.


(Obviously a photoshop job to turn the 350Z into a droptop.)

Sorry but I still don't think it looks good. Still brutal.

Z4: The wheels are nice, the front end is OK, but those side panels are awful. If you think about it, the reason this picture looks better than the others is because the side is in shadow and not as noticable. I can't stand this new style of sharpening the surface angles to points. It really looks bad, especially when they start taking those surface ridges and curving them like the one near the bottom of the door. That curve looks like crap in my opinion. I prefer the current Miata style to this anyday. The Miata is a body that has nearly reached perfection I believe.

Not sure what all the kerfuffal is about . I like the Z4. When we all bought our S2000s, we all commented on how we liked the agressive, serpent like character of the car's sculpted body. The Z4 is basically an evolution of this, perhaps a little extreme for some, yet tasteful IMO.

I'm still thinking the Z4 looks ugly...it will forever. BMW needs to get some Japanese designers. That will fix it. I'd take the 350Z over that Pontiac Aztec Z4 any day
