BMW Z4M Coupe / Porsche Cayman S / TVR Sagaris

[Coventrysucks]

None of the above.

The BMW is a BMW, and regrettably that does not appear to mean very much these days.

Porsche Cayman S is undesirable as it is too competant, and lacks gumption.

The Sagaris would be my choice if I had any confidence that, if ordered, one would ever be built.

I'd take a Mk1 Tuscan S, and spend the difference on some carefully applied engineering, reconstruction and re-wiring. It wouldn't take much - just to ensure fine fettle and to tie up the loose ends that TVR's "development budget" never really stretched to. (Remember that TVR probably spent less developing their cars than BMW or Porsche do on headed note-paper)

TVR because it just seems like it would be a more fun car to drive and i like that it doesn't have tcs but around 400hp

[Gardin]

TVR because it's special and I don't like any of the others. Actually a friend of mine crashed a Cayman about a week ago, so that's one less of them;o)

The Z4M would be my choice, cause it has that deliciously revvy 3.2L Inline Six from the 'old' M3, and a nice tight chassis (not from personal experience). It looks pretty special too. At last, a nice little sports car from BMW with some cred (in this decade).

The Cayman doesnt do a whole lot for me - obviously you couldnt fault its drive, but the 911 and Boxter for me are more desirable. The little niche they've tried to put the Cayman in means it's come out too comprimised.

The TVR....it looks great, obviously offers the most thrills.....but I can't get around the rep they have for quality unfortunately......and Hammond says the interior smells like a Fibreglass Canoe Factory

I'd choose the BMW Z4 Coupé, because the other two are not my cup of tea. The Porsche is too good and perfect and it if I wanted a Porsche I'd want the 911 and the TVR is simply too ugly. The BMW on the other hand is not bad in the looks department (it isn't a beauty either) and it's not overengineered as some BMWs of late are.

[DesmoRob]

Ugly? Come on Rob.

Yea, I'm sorry but their cars just do nothing for me. I'm sure they're probably an absolute blast to drive, and I'm also sure that if I ever got to experience that I would change my mind right away and forget about looks. But for now, all I know of them is their looks and that those looks aren't my cup of tea. Truthfully, I wouldn't want any of these cars anyway. Since I have to choose between the three I'd take the porsche, but if it were up to me I'd have an old Challenger or 'Cuda from the early 70's. Those have more personality than these three here imo.

TVRs aren't sold here
The BMW and Cayman are close for me...

[Waugh-terfall]

Trevor get's my vote!
I don't like BMW's, but I like the styling of the Z4M Coupe, I love Porsche's, but the TVR just has that flair, it will turn heads wherever, unlike the others. A. with the noise & B. with it's looks, it's a totally bonkers car in every respect. TVR for me, anyday

[Ingolstadt]

Z4M Coupe for me.

Cayman is just a marketing tool to sell boxsters to people who dont want to look gay in one, and cant afford 911.

TVRs are too mad, looks stupid. If TVRs are made in Russia, I'd like them, but they're made in UK, a dull, wet, boring place .... and boring people trying to look menacing.... thats the result.

Totally disagree, if it had more power it would replace the 911.

[Ingolstadt]

Totally disagree, if it had more power it would replace the 911.

Thats the problem! it was deliberately done so that 911 can still sell, nothing to do with engineering, performance.... the marketers did it! Just like the Audi R8, S6, S8 .... !

Cayman's realization isn't thru passion, it's thru motive.

[clutch-monkey]

the cayman is good if you want a new porsche in that price range.
it's crap if you take 2nd hand porsches into account.

[DesmoRob]

Regardless, porsche built a damn good car.

These days Porsche as a whole is nothing more than marketing tool. Cayenne, the forthcoming 4-door saloon...

It's true, but they still make damned good cars.
I saw the Panmera in Car Magazine yesterday, and I have to say it looks great!
