the 370Z on the otherhand, caught my attention.
When the 350z was introduced, all I could see were the ripped-off Audi TT styling riffs. I applauded the fact that Nissan brought back a Z, but I was disappointed in the execution.

By contrast, I don't see ANY derivative styling on the 370z, even though it shares a lot of the 350z elements. In fact, when I went to a meet last month, I was amazed at how similar the two cars are. But that certainly was not my primary impression.

Only features I wish our cars still had:
* digital speedo (had this in the RX-8 and grew to love it)
* sunglasses holder (they fit sideways in the center dash compartment, if you don't have nav)
* individual tire pressure readouts
* better rear 3/4 view!

But I'm happy to trade all of this for a car that IMHO handles better, is faster, and has its own clear styling identity. I've had zero problems in 6 months of ownership.

I certainly do not regret the Cayman I was originally going to buy. The Cayman was a bit too refined -- you have to be going scary-fast to get the same level of excitement that the Z gives in everyday driving. I love my Z!!
