Damn I'm really feeling that TT. That little thing is beautiful. On the flipside its really difficult to look at the Z4. Cool Video

lol LexLaw, we seem to have very different tastes in cars .

I think the Z4 is drop dead sexy, and its curves win in the design department.

Bangle FTW!

But the TT has a vulgar interior.

What's up with that old school instrument cluster panel?

And for the Cayman, it's interior isn't even worth the typing ...

Yeah, lol you're right about that. I guess thats what makes CL so cool. Different views respectfully expressed and debated. As for the Cayman's interior you got my vote there.

For the record I love curves on my car (look at what I drive) I just think the design on the Z cars are just strange to put it mildly. Overall I'm a fan of Bangle and his influence on BMW's cars especially the much maligned 7 series.

The TT is a pansy car, the Z4 is kind of funky looking. The Cayman just totally outclasses the other 2 cars, it's not even close

i just came back from vancouver auto show

TT is such a gorgeous car
i love the cayman and just about all porsche products, my friend is a porsche purist who owned an authentic 356 back in the days and a couple of 911
and he thinks the new TT is something worth looking into over a cayman/boxter too!

i love bangle's design too btw so i love all these of these cars but my fav is the TT because of the beautiful interior and the some parts of the exterior

Compared to the Z4? Z4 has an interior only Ray Charles could love.

Edit: I see in the video they barely take any time showing the Z4 interior but drool over the TT's.

Something about the German language is simultaneously funny and annoying.

Other reviews have said the Z4's handling is unpredictable and this video shows it. Very sloppy. TT was best, then Cayman, then Z4. And no surprise the video says the Cayman is expensive.

I really can't understand how any red-blooded male would buy a TT over a Cayman. A modified VW golf that looks like a squashed VW Beetle isn't my idea of a sports car

I'm sorry but I don't know of any Golf that has the front three quarters of the frame made out of alluminum, has magnetic shock dampers, looks nearly as good as the TT, or has the near spot on perfection of the TT's interior.

He's actually saying "Sechs Zylinder" which means six cylinder in German.

Cayman is overpriced, but it is still a Porsche.

TT is metro and Z4 is hideous.

Cayman > TT > Z4
