I have not pondered such a choice since both the BMW Z4 and Honda S2000 do not suit my family lifestyle! That is why I have to settle for the compromise of a sport sedan/wagon !
 
But hypothetically if I was single or an empty nester I would pick the Honda S2000. Why? Because I love the idea of listening to its motorcycle pitch while reving between 6k to 9k rpm! I've heard the S2000 loves to rev. Also the S2000 is cheaper than the Z4!

Yes. It may show up in the Zephyr as early as next year. The current LS is supposed to die off pretty soon. I'm pretty sure its replacement is going to be based on the AWD version of the Ford 500, itself borrowed from the Volvo S80.
 
Apparently DEW98 will continue, but only in the next Jag S-type, which will not get a shortened version of the aluminum XJ platform as previously planned.

Got all of you beat. I learned on my family's 1956 Chrysler Imperial. Now THAT was a back seat!

My first recollection of a car was a 1951 Hudson Hornet, the first car I actually drove (illegally) was my dad's 1953 Hudson Hornet with "twin H power" and a turbo hydra matic transmission.
 
When I became old enough to legally drive the thing, my dad helped me get the old relic running and other than the fact that it had both standard brakes and steering (the amount of pressure required to stop the car required literally "standing on the pedal,") it was clearly a car that had to have been as the saying goes, ahead of its time.
 
This big car with this HUGE i6 and twin carbs was clearly the LPS of the early and mid 1950's.
 
I don't miss it at all -- but I do have fond memories.
 
God, I'm old.

There are some "more seasoned" men here than I, but I wanted to share my embarrassment of driving my mother's 1976 AMC Pacer to high school. It definitely wasn't considered one of the "cool cars", nor did it have a rocket engine. But at least it got me from point A to point B... I heard every joke from "pregnant Volkswagon" to "moonbuggey"...
 
On the other hand, why isn't the Pacer on the list up top of LPS? If we're comparing Avalon's, why can't I compare my Pacer?!

Wow! You folks are reminding me to comb my white beard. I indeed remember the 1950 Plymouth "6" my dad and then my mom uses to teach me to drive.
 
First car was a 53 Chev. Loved the car. Good memories from a gone bye era.
 
Hope all is well with all. Good luck to all and stay safe.
