What classifies a car as a roadster beyond being a convertible? I drive an R8, and I've driven the convertible, which absolutely didn't drive like the Z4M. You sit too far forward for that, because the R8 Is more of a GT.
There's obviously a grey area, there's no argueing that an MX-5 is a roadster by today's standards. I drive an S2000 which is a roadster, an Audi TT convertible could be called a roadster. But as they get bigger, they become heavier and clunkier, and less of a roadstrr. I wouldn't call an R8 or an F-type a roadster. They're more of a sportscar, but I suppose that's subjective.
