1) There is no Z4 hardtop offering presently, and thus a vacuum in the BMW line.
2) The convertible Z4 is a lesser version of that vacuum.
It is the vacuum I take issue with... not the merits of the very nice Z4 convertible.

You said corvette, not corvette convertible, you said viper, not viper convertible.
We agree on these points, with the exception that I still believe a sports car can have compromises, the simple fact that it is built to be road legal is a compromise itself and what differentiates it from a race car. The difference is where you draw the line on how much compromise makes it no longer a sports car.
By your definition any car with sound deadening is not a sports car, or carpet or anything else. You said completely uncompromising, by definition a sports car must compromise.
But I don't feel like discussing this further with you, it's a dumb argument.
