Default Should be able to get roadsters cheap now ...

From today's Wall Street Journal (online):

But let's not pick on Porsche, or the very fine Boxster, just because it has suffered a 31% sales decline this year through the end of May. It's got plenty of company: During the first five months of this year, sales of the rival Audi TT Roadster are down 29.5%; BMW Z3 roadster sales are off nearly 41%; and the Mercedes SLK's sales have skidded 19%.

Default I'm surprised the Z3 is only off 41% since the Z4 is coming out in the fall...

...and dealers weren't budging on price at all during the Winter.

Default Those are old CGIs....

Here are two actual spy shots...

Notice how the lines along the side form a Z? The blacked out roundel that intersects the form is supposedly a turn signal as well.

Default I see the diff in the exhaust tips placement. Liked the CGI ones better

Still the car looks good (however much I dislike roadsters).

Default The S2000 was a Z3 wannabe before it ever left the plant...

Look at the S2000's front end and imagine two kidneys. Perhaps a bit more angular, but original? Give me a break.

The only half way decent original design out of Honda in years was the NSX. Even the last generation Prelude was a take off of a late '80s Prelude. Hondas may be engineered well, but their (stuck in the '80s) designers are far from original.

Just my opinion.
