Got a call from my folks last night.

Apparently they are looking at buying a leftover 2011 BMW Z4.

My reaction?

The new Z4 is certainly looking better than the old one, but it still is butt ugly.

Is the new Z4 a 2011 model? I like the new Z4. Will this replace the SLK or will it be a new addition to the stable? I think they should go for it. Don't see too many other roadsters out there in that class. The XK-R is bigger and then again may be more unreliable than the BMW.

New Z4 is ugly. Not as ugly as previous model, but still hideous.

The would be selling the SLK to get this.

Worst part? It is a slushbox.

I think my folks are getting senile.


I told them they should look for an NSX-T instead

^ Aren't certain NSX's available with slushboxes too? Marc, you must tell them to buy an S2000.

Refrained from doing so. Besides, they really only want new cars anyway. Vehicles I suggested if they were serious about getting another roadster:

Boxster (#1 choice IMHO)
SLK
370Z

The Z4 is just so hideously ugly, I can't support such an ugly design with sales...

The Z4 side flanks look so odd. Kind of like looking at the sunken cheeks of David Coulthard
