In other words, lots more chicks and hairdressers will be seen driving around in the new Z with their starbucks in their hands.

I would agree that the Z4 E86 Coupé had a very masculine appearance. Considering that the new E89 Roadster was designed by a woman I am not in the least bit surprised that some of the raw testosterone dripping energy of the original has been lost. But it looks ok for a Roadster, it never stood a chance in challenge the E86 Coupé for the Sexiest Title.
But then again having said all that, the BMW E85 Roadster which the new E89is a direct replacement for never grabbed my attention as much as the Coupé version of the same model.
