Release date
The Bottom Line	The 2008 BMW M3 Convertible delivers an exceptional driving experience. The M3's double-clutch transmission and cabin tech are first rate, but options quickly jack up the base price.	The 2010 BMW Z4 sDrive35i delivers incredible driving performance while incorporating practical cabin gadgets to inform and entertain.	The 2010 Lexus IS 350 C leans more to luxury than sport--remaining a very satisfying driver when not pushed too hard--and includes some very useful cabin tech features.	The 2010 BMW 650i Convertible delivers the luxury and sporting character we expect from BMW, with generally excellent cabin tech, but a future model update should improve the engine and exterior design.	If you want and can afford an Aston Martin DB9, you will probably get one, no matter what anyone else says. But it's nice to know that the cabin electronics are modern enough for cell phones and iPods.
