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.

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

You're guessing, and guessing wrong.

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...;-)

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.

For now I'll stick with my 330Ci. 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!
