Comparison: 2006 BMW Z4 3.0si vs. 2006 Nissan 350Z Roadster vs. 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP
1st Place: 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP
Despite its sizeable warts, the GXP is a seductress blurred and standing still. The price of admission to big-league sports car performance and style has just been slashed.
2nd Place: 2006 BMW Z4 3.0si
If you can afford the best, we're envious. The Z4 recalibrates your expectations of how involving a sports car can be--peerless in quality, with pinpoint accurate road manners.
3rd Place: 2006 Nissan 350Z Roadster
A smart choice with generous helpings of fun and practicality--and serious good looks. And wouldn't a lighter, cheaper version sans the power top machinery be neat?
