I'd have to say a S2000 wins out over any roadster on the market today. They are simply beautiful in my opinion. They have been out several years now and are still quite rare...which is my biggest complaint about the Miata.
However, I wouldn't want any roadster as my daily driver, strictly as a toy!

I'd have to go with the S2000......Sweet styling, lots of power and handles quite well. It's also not as "common place" as some of the other roadsters but as someone else pointed out, It would be more of a "toy" then a daily driver. My second choice would be the BMW Z4, cause I like the lines (and for those that want a Z4 but can't afford one, there is a kit that turns a miata into one)
Also hadn't seen the Z roadster before, and man that thing is Ugggllly!

HMMMM...
The list is a little too short. Out of the 2 I'm a bit torn. The TT is a sweet unique looking car but I'd much rather have the hardtop, the roadster looks too much like a bar of soap with wheels. The S2000 looks nice and all but I'd rahter have the turbo cahrged AWD.
Of course since everyone else has had their write in I'll take a Cobra.

I'd take the S2000 with the optional hardtop..
although its starting to bother me that I've been seeing alot of older women driving them lately. They just dont appreciate what a fine machine it is, they just like it cuz its "cute" and makes them feel younger.

Why does it bother you that they ascribe attributes to the car that you don't? And how do you know whether or not they "appreciate what a fine machine it is?" I bet every smart-*** high school brat in a V6 Grand Am thinks the same thing about my wife when they see her in her WRX -- for about 6 seconds, after which they're 3 car lengths behind her.
I simply can't relate to this attitude. It's their car, they bought it for their own reasons, who am I to question those reasons?
