If that's the case, why not tell him to save an absolute fortune and get himself a bloody Nissan Micra instead!

Because a Micra isn't a Z4.

culpz said:

Seriously though, i'd question if he really wants a Z4 in the first place or if it's really the car for him.

"Do you really want a Z4?"
"Yes."

Maybe there is new law that say you can only have a convertible sports car if you are going to drive it hard and quick?

Maybe all these 4-pot Z4, SLK, TT..etc drivers should be told they're doing it wrong?

A Jag should most of all feel special. And most 4 cylinder engines and diesels are exactly the opposite: Plain boring and mediocre. And as far as Mercedes is concerned, can you imagine an AMG GT with 4 cylinders? Why would anybody want that?

The Z4 is a little soft soft-top. Not a high power GT.

The Jaguar F-Type is not the car it used to in the 1960's it has no class looks like all the rest boring not worth my money. The Corvette is twice the car better performance better looking better handling and in the same price range. This is what happens when you copy the majority! I had a 1960 Jaguar XK 150 it was a beautiful car with class and quality still a classic today. Today even the BMW is boring the same old grill looks like all the rest. What happened to real design? Jack

1960s F-Type?

And not driven the latest Corvette, but I wouldn't have said they would have the same appeal at the bottom of the market? i.e., this (overpriced) £50k 2.0 F-Type?

There are loads of reasons the Corvette hasn't been popular in the UK, none are due to it being faster or cheaper than other cars on the market. Essentially, American cars are seen as being a little naff by all but a small group of 'Americana / County & Western' enthusiasts.

A situation which is softening due to the new Mustang, but the cowboy hat brigade still rule strong....

Is that because there is more to being a good car than being fast and cheap?
