I found this little review and I liked it a lot because i've cross shopped both these cars on more than one occasion. I come away feeling exactly like the reviewer from the daily perspective. Having the convenience of 2 cars made me buy the Z. But if i needed practicality... ?
The 1LE drives amazing for it's size... I'm sure the Alpha will be a platform, that continues and exceeds the current zeta in the aspect of awesome performance. But the Z34, is truly unique and special. You either get it or you don't.... For those that do? It's impossible to find a subsitute for a Z under $55,000
