The next-generation 2009 Nissan 370Z coupe (the convertible debuts next year) retains the same basic styling cues as the outgoing 350Z but trims some of the excess fat off last year's model. New design elements tend to score well in reviews read by TheCarConnection.com, but not...

Other Choices:

If you're looking at the 2009 Nissan 370Z, chances are you know what you want—and there's not much direct competition out there for this traditional sportscar. Among the closest comparisons by the specifications sheets, you could look at the Nissan's fancier cousin, the Infiniti G37 Coupe. The G37 is more luxurious and relaxed than the Z, plus there's more interior room with its +2 seating. The BMW Z4 is a pure two-seater with six-cylinder power. The BMW is due for a significant makeover for 2010. Based on price and V-8 performance, the 2010 Mustang GT is a worthy 370Z competitor. The Ford's newfound interior quality and ride quality eclipse the Z's, while still maintaining a truly sporty feel. Some Nissan Z-car shoppers won't admit that the car they'd really like to drive is the Chevrolet Corvette. The step up to what TheCarConnection.com considers the best value in the sportscar segment will cost an extra $15,000.

    "engineers, designers, stylists"

    i find the term "designer" used loosely in the auto industry. in my opinion, "designer" should be reserved for the person who is the
    auto architect who creative person. he works with the perceptive qualities of the car (like the architect puts in the perceptive qualities of a home). you wouldn't want an engineer to design your home would you? the engineer works
    with ensuring the durability qualities of components the components the auto designer "architect" chooses for his project.
    the stylist ,in my mind , is the title for the
    person who works under the direction of the designer (like the engineer) to put the thematic
    looks into the designers car. the work of the engineers and the stylists should be directed
    and coordinated by the architectural guidance of the designer for the most harmonious final interaction of the automobiles components for the perceptive qualities ie: overall ride, handling, comfort, excitement, appearance..etc.
    engineers working on the rear end of a car for example doesn't have the authority to tell another engineer what changes to make to accomodate the performance of his part but the designer (like the architect) would have the authority and mandate to make sure all the separate components work together. you choose
    your home for its perceptive qualities and you should have the right to choose your car for the same reasons. engineers are primarily component workers who put durability into the cars..durability should be a given in any car. tightwaddog
