SilverC6AZ I made the mistake of ordering the 4 cyl turbo charged engine with the 8 speed auto. In my opinion, BMW Z4 is getting more like the MB SLK which doesn't even offer a manual trans anymore. My test drive in the Boxster was all it took to get me to trade the Z4. The Boxsters interior was much nicer than the Z4. Z4 navigation was terrible. Convertibles are convertibles and not cars with targa tops. Not the same. Have owned several of each style. You'll like the creaking targa top. My test drive in a base Boxster at 8,000 feet elevation was fine. I'm not in high school anymore so racing is just not of interest to me.

Shank---I have owned too many Corvettes and experienced cheap materials and build quality. Let's not even get into the dealership experience with Chevrolet the land of the 400 credit score. My guess is that the C6.5 will continue to offer poor build quality and will continue to cut the corners everywhere possible as dictated by the GM bean counters. I don't think you have any clue about construction of an automobile. Let's just see about the reviews in regard to quality build and materials of the new C6.5 Based on the reviews, I may have to change my mind and refer to the new C6.4.

Did they end up getting a blood test for testosterone levels afterwards?

Colorado C6
That was a mistake to order the 4 cylinder Z4. That car with the standard interior is like night and day with the 35i with upgarded leather and interior.
I was all too happy to get back into my Z4 35i after test driving the severly underpowered Boxster Base. 70 mph and almost full throttle and the car would not get out of it's own way. Ugggh. Don't have to be a High School racer to be frustrated with that.
I have the upgraded Napa leather interior and upgraded interior package in my Z4, so the interior in my Z4 was on a par with that what I saw in the Boxster Base.
I could really care less if you think comparing the Boxster S to the C7 Coupe is apples to oranges. These are the 2 cars I am considering right now so the comparison makes sense to me.
NAV is a waste for me, and I don't have it, so I don't care what the NAV in the Z4 is like.
Had a 2007 C6 Coupe for 3 years. Top NEVER creaked!!! Sorry, can't answer that one for you.

Skank, didn't you get the message? You can't tell Colorado anything he is the brightest guy on the planet with the coolest car. He just comes here to tell everyone how cool he is and that his car is the best. Like you nobody notices this & the majority wish he would jump off a cliff. Don't waste your time he's a troll! Oh and if I buy a Porsche it won't be a coxter! It will be the real one, the 911. Go enjoy your coxter off a cliff in colorado

He's a Corvette hater and girly car lover. Thing I don't get is if he loves his girly car so much, why doesn't he take his discussion to another forum where he can discuss with his girlfriends? Why keep coming back here if he's so happy with his car? I guess insecurity is a girly trait.

Yup, these types of threads seem to bring this guy out of the woodwork every time. I have no interest in any P Car, although I could probably afford any model they produce. Also, I don't bother to spend my time on a car Forum commenting on a car in which I have no interest. A Troll, for sure.

You could phrase it the other way and say, "If you care about stuff GM can't seem to get right, like precision and balance, then get the Cayman. If you only care about brute force and crappy interiors, get the Vette"
Of course, those negatives about the Vette may have been fixed with the C7,

The center console still looks like cheap plastic & the armrest looks like a rock again. Does it feel as hard as the C6 armrest? I hope not. How does GM overlook things like that? It's common sense. WTF GM?!

Does not look like they fixed the center console & ****** uncomfortable armrest.
