I don't know what it is about the Bimmer roadster, but I agree it is not
very appealing (attactive). But then again I have never seen a BMW in
the US that I have liked the looks of.
On the other hand when I saw the clip on the new T-bird I just had to see
more. It reminds me of the original T-bird combined with a Speedster.
Being an American car the suspension probably sucks but I sure like what
I could see.

I can understand that. It looks just like a box on wheels. What woman
would want to drive an oversize shoe box? Now the Triumph Roadster and
the TR2-3Bs. Those have nice flowing lines.
Another interesting thing. When I was chatting to the sales manager of
San Jose Land Rover a couple of years ago he mentioned that they sold
more Land Rover Defenders to women than to men, and more Discoverys to
men than women. They never figured out why and thought it should have
been the other way around.
