Z4 M vs Boxster S vs SLK 55
richasiankid, which one are you planning on getting?
the mercedes is a sissy status-seeking sport's car, the z4 looks weird, to say the least....i like the suave-ness, curvacious body, poise and grace of the boxster. midengine, rear-wheel drive..the ultimate for balance and stability.

Z4 M vs Boxster S vs SLK 55
i like the way the boxster looks like it glides on the road...with those
'propeller' wheels spinning. i like the fact that there's no backseat as well. who needs that dead space for a sportscar anyways? i also like the soft, drop-top...even though you don't like convertibles...it still looks sexy...it reminds me of a bikini top, lol "Lawrence Lugar" > wrote in message news:J3%rg.10587$Nv.8919@fed1read10... > richasiankid, which one are you planning on getting? > > > > > the mercedes is a sissy status-seeking sport's car, the z4 looks weird, to > say the least....i like the suave-ness, curvacious body, poise and grace > of the boxster. midengine, rear-wheel drive..the ultimate for balance and > stability. > > > > > > > > > "RichAsianKid" > wrote in message > oups.com... >> Which of the above is the best roadster?

Z4 M vs Boxster S vs SLK 55
And the first Merc CLK Cab W208 looks much better then any of these and has
space for 4 reasonably-sized adults. And doesn't require one to stop and think which end is which...;-) DAS For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling --- "Richard Sexton" > wrote in message ... > In article <J3%rg.10587$Nv.8919@fed1read10>, > Lawrence Lugar > wrote: [...] > >>say the least....i like the suave-ness, curvacious body, poise and grace >>of >>the boxster. midengine, rear-wheel drive..the ultimate for balance and >>stability. > > You're guessing, and guessing wrong. > > > -- > Need Mercedes parts? http://parts.mbz.org > Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org > 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home pages: http://rs79.vrx.net > 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net |

The 55 will out-evrything the Prosche. The CLK 63 (481hp) is coming out; any word on whether a SLK 63 is in the works? But then maybe that'll make it too 'hood-heavy' assuming it's heavier than the 55 equivalent. |

If I have to choose, perhaps next year, maybe the boxster S. Though I know I said I'd leaned towards the Z4M before. Not sure, have to test drive them before I tell. I for sure like the hp, but sometimes hp is not everything. LIke digicams - other features like ergonomics, LCD screens become important when pondering between a 8 MP and a 9 MP digicam - it's no longer megapixels if the competition is too close. My 330Ci engine, though weaker than the SLK350, seemed more purposeful to me and there's that exhilirating rush as I rev up towards the redline that I get from a bimmer that I don't get from a Mercedes it seems - maybe too much Mercedes torque on the lower end of the rpm curve, so it makes no sense to push the car harder - you see all there is to see initially, so when you drive it hard, you get an anticlimax. It sort of felt that way....I test drove the SLK350 for a cous of mine (tells you how much she likes cars!) as she liked the shape and styling. I sort of convinced the Mercedes sales who worked in BMW before doing the testdrive that I was swapping the 330Ci for the SLK350. He kept saying, "you know, you won't get much more horsepower in this one....it won't go faster than the 330Ci......." What??? EVerything he stated was wrong and not in his favor. He's a born BMW sales as you can tell. Unless he's applying reverse psychology on me! > > > > > > > "RichAsianKid" > wrote in message > oups.com... > > Which of the above is the best roadster?
