Default Automobile roadster comparison

I just received my new Automobile magazine, and it is yet another publication that compares the S2000, Boxster, Z4, and 350Z. The outcome in Automobile was different from other magazines.

They chose the Porsche Boxster as the winner, with the runner up being the Z4. They did so even though the S2000 was the fastest and cheapest. I guess winning two out of three comparo's this month isn't bad, but I think the S2000 should have won all three. Sorry I dont have a scanner to scan the article.

Automobile never seemed to favor the S2000. They always preferred the Boxster, so I'm not at all surprised.

I didnt get my CD or RT yet, but got Automobile last night. My taste is very different from theirs. In general, i dont care for the magazine, but i keep it around because a fresh perspective or different opinion is at least thought-provoking. Ther RT boys love a car that has a stiff suspension, makes you work it hard, etc... - the same things i like. Predictably, Automobile dislikes these things, but favors things that many of my "non-car-enthusiast" friends would - The "name" or a softer suspension or auto climate control or finer leather. Good article on the last page, though, (Kitman) about GM destroying Saab.
