Neat pics. Gawd how is it possible that a company that designs such
beautiful sedans could possibly be responsible for the Z coupe. With the
possible exception of the Pontiac Aztec is there anything on the road more
homely? BTW, don't worry about the bald spot.. all us really kewl pilots
are follically
challenged.

Have you seen the Honda Elephant... er Element?

hondacars.com/models/model_overview.asp?ModelName=Element

I don't know if it's the winner, but it's sure in contention, IMHO ahead of
the Z coupe.

Yea, I knew I was in trouble when my 9 year old son, who has never
shown an interest in cars (he leaves that to his little sister),
pointed at a row of Honda Elements and said "Wow daddy, those are
cool! Is that what cars looked like when you were growing up?"

I guess they found their target market...Generation Y.

One of the runs down Deal's Gap was with four Z3 Roadsters and four
Z3 Coupes. The coupes are definitely for the more serious driver
who is willing to put up with the bizarre styling and sacrilegious
loss of convertible top to get the additional handling performance.

Yeah, well... look at it. Doesn't it look like all the toy cars and
trucks that are being sold over at the toy stores? Or perhaps like
the cars that their favorite cartoon characters drive?

Ya have to realize that these cars are being designed by (Dare I say
it?) Recent Design School graduates that are in their (ug) mid 20's...

Yipe! That's Me!! ('cept I'm no design student and I have good taste in cars.)
