I hate roadsters...

except for the honda s2000. Before someone calls me a Honda fanboy I'll explain. Now I'm not talking performace wise... sure a lot of roadsters have some better performance than an s2000 but as far as how they look the only one that I like is the s2000. I typically don't like roadster body styles. The BMW z3 to me is just ugly. Solstice: ugly. Saturn whatever: ugly. Miata: ugly.

Everytime I see one lately I keep thinking I want one. Especially the one they recently had on Tricked Out on DIY network. Automatic popout kinards and motorized spoiler FTW!! lol... i was kidding about that part... but yeah, I think it's a cool car and the only roadster I would own.

you will definately get mixed responses on this. I like how the Z4 looks and the upcoming Z2. And I liked how the Opel Speedster looked so to me the Saturn Sky looks good, better than the Solstice. And then there is the Boxster. If I was in the market for a roadster and had $$ to burn, I would get a Z4-M.

I dont mind roadsters if they are a hardtop convertable. I just dont like the look of the softtops. If i had an S2k..i'd have a hardtop for it. Its just so sexy.

Oh god I forgot about the Boxster. Man, I think that is one of the ugliest of them all. Sure its fast and everything... but it just looks so... UGH.

I agree about the softtops... I would have a hardtop on an s2000 too.

from what people that I know owned them say, they are really good cars. I'm really not a Mazda fan... I like the rx7 and that's about it. Sorry though, as far as looks go I think miata is pretty boring. That's my real problem with almost all the roadsters... they are awesome cars but they almost all look bad to me.

The Miada is an awesome car... REALLY good for the track and such. I just dont care at all for the style. I ended up with the S

The z3 is better looking then the z4 cause the z4 just looks like a shark or something to me haha. I hate when I get asked "oooh is that the new BMW" no its better its a honda... or i tell them its the new Civic convertable! HAHA

I like the solstice if it has ground affects, and for some reason I hate the new Eclipse coupe but the convertable doesn't look that bad to me.

You obviously didn't read my post. I'm just saying that most roadsters IN MY OPINION are ugly. Aside from being ugly I know they are generally great performing cars, I'm just talking about looks.

And you totally took what dopes said out of context. He was also talking about the looks of the s2000 being better. I know what he means... everytime people (who admittedly don't know much about cars) see a s2000 they think it's a BMW Zsomething.
