I prefer the Audi’s looks. And what could go wrong with this?

The newer Audi will likely have more up-to-date tech features and potentially better fuel efficiency. However, a 4-year difference isn’t that huge, especially for luxury vehicles that tend to age well. The BMW’s hardtop is a nice feature that Audi doesn’t offer.
Ultimately, both are solid choices in my opinion.

This was the only hardtop convertible that got the looks right, IMO. All the others’ proportions are off a bit:
Nice enough, maybe a little big in the ‘hips’. But I’ll admit I’ve never seen one of those on the road. Or maybe you’re pulling my chain…
I see Pontiac G6 convertibles in my area, and on Car Talk.
I think most people would agree that the proportions were just a bit “off” with Ford’s folding hardtops.

Here’s a bit of trivia, regarding those Ford folding hardtops:
I’ve read several sources which stated they didn’t share any body panels with other Fords–even the soft-top convertibles. That must have made it a net negative when it came to profit, but I suspect that, at least, the hoods and front fenders were the same as on other models.
I’m not a big MB fan, but that is a gorgeous car, nice lines and almost looks like a chopped top…
