I prefer the looks of the current E89 Z4 to the E85, but the car got quite a bit heavier with this generation (300-500 lbs weight gain, depending on the trim).  And sadly, by all counts, the E89 is a softer and less sporting car than the E85 was.

Like I said, I'd go Boxster if I hadn't already had one. Over all these, I'd take an E85 of any flavor. But since the E85 isn't in this and I did already have a Boxster, I'd go TTS (but only in Euro-spec 6MT).
This is like saying "I would bang Gisele Bundchen if I hadnt already. So I will go with Fergie"

I had 3 Accords, you are too good for a 2nd Boxster??? This angers me!!!!!!

That doesn't mean it's suddenly a shitty drive now.  By all accounts it's still a pretty great car.

Fergie used to be pretty damn hot. Besides, the TT is the prettier one.

No fucking way you would pick a FWD TT over these other cars.

Internet talk is fine. If he was putting money down it wouldn't be on an overpriced VW.

TTS is AWD. I'd definitely choose it over an SLK and the new Z4.

I'm sure Gisele has pissed herself too.

So now we're going to go on about how AWD things are?  Come on, dude, I would make a different choice than you would, deal with it. The TTS is the best looking car here, and not far off the pace of the Boxster. As I've already had a Boxster, I'd like to try something different. And, frankly, I'd take an E85 over all of these.

Audi would be tempting in terms of being a year-round DD (I can see myself driving it top down in the winter, for example, in the snow, just for the shock value to other motorists) but in terms of pure driving experience, I'd love the Porsche to be in my garage someday.  Z4 has more of a unique, classy look to it, and I would love to relive those BMW films with Clive Owen in them...

Just because your parents never bought you shiny things doesn't mean you have to be a hater. Not my fault they didn't love you as much as my parents did.

A little less than 10,000 miles, I think. Can't really remember.
