Here's my line of thinking on the looks of these cars in a little more detail.
First, I think the original Z3, particularly once they went to the wide rear end, is nearly the perfect looking roadster. I just love that car (and yes, I did own an M Roadster for a while). I thought the M Coupe (and later Z3 Coupe) was the first REAL "pregnant rollerskate." I know the CRX was where that term was likely invented to describe a car, but that coupe was terrible to me.
Then BMW did the ultimate and created the Z4. It's an abortion, IMHO. It's so far removed from anything desirable to me that I couldn't believe it. I hated BMW for what they did.
That said, I saw TC's car in person a couple weeks ago, and I have to say that his car did look pretty good. Maybe I've gotten over the shock of the change a little, plus what *he* did with his helps. And I'm a bit of a sucker for orange like that. Hmm. He goes through cars pretty quick, perhaps I should ask him if it's soon to be for sale.
I've never liked the look of the Solstice. I like the Sky from the front, and the back isn't bad except I feel like the tail lights are a little too euro or something. But that's a minor nit...if they had made a real GXP clone in the Sky I might have considered one. And yes, I am fairly anti-GM in general, I admit. *shrug*
