ubiquity and value are polar opposite. If you don’t want ubiquity, you’d have to go much higher in the price range.[/quote]

That’s not necessarily true. There are some cars that have both value and rarity that don’t cost an arm and a leg. The Subaru Legacy GT and Pontiac G8 GXP are a couple that immediately come to mind.

In these cases the weak point may be value in that for the price points there are other options available that may offer slightly more, but it all depends how much rarity is worth to you.

The problem w/ Legacy GT and G8 GXP is that they look like a regular Legacy and G8 from far away. I’m pretty sure there are plenty more Legacy and G8 sold than the 370Z, so, you won’t look rare.

Back to the z4 or TT question, neither…

Used Boxster S/ Boxster (new style, not old)

If you force the choice back down to the BMW / Audi,
I would bmw on lease and audi for purchase (assuming you keep it a really long time)
