For some reason I've just never been a fan of the Miata. They dominate on the race track, and have been a ten best car via Car and Driver for ages, but I never found myself saying "Jeez, I really want a Mazda!" .... save the RX-7, that thing was gorgeous.

Same was true for the S2000.

I do feel some love for the Nissan 350/370Z cars though, the earlier is far below a $10k budget cap.

Personally though, when looking at any of these cars next to each other, the Porsche is far better looking. The long snout of the BMW Z4 is attractive, and while I do love BMW's I just keep getting called back to the Boxster.

Maybe it's because BMW has been building some great driving cars for years, while Porsche has been building amazing driving Sports Cars for years. I seem to feel if I purchased the BMW, it's almost as if I've pulled the trigger for a weekend car that needs to be a convertible...with the Boxster, I've purchased a weekend car that is a Porsche...that happens to be a convertible.
