And yeah, The 458 Spyder isn't even a fair comparison but it's one of the well integrated hardtops in the industry. I also like how the Californias hardtop is integrated.

The new SLKs hardtop still looks a bit awkward to me though. Maybe because I also feel that the car just isn't as designed well, the front and back feel like they belong to different cars so the addition of the hardtop makes it look more weird to my eye. Maybe it's just me?
Yes, I think they do sell the Z4 GT3 but for some crazy 6-figure price.

The California looks great as well. It has the same roof ftn design as our car but it looks much better and more coherent.

Just talking about the roof it looks fitting enough, but I don't like the SLK's looks either...it has the face of the SLS, however, I liked the old SLK's w/ its F1-inspirated face better. The rear in both versions still looks very plain and the profile is bland as well. The interior is better than the Z4 though imo.
