Why no comparison with Lexus IS or Infiniti Q50?

Funny, I just started looking into those IS 350 F Sport cars the other day and now this thread pops up.

2015 Nissan 370Z vs. 2015 Porsche Macan Turbo | REVdata

Here's an PDK macan vs a MANUAL 370z.
The manual Z gets to 60 in 4.9. An auto Z gets to 60 in .3 seconds faster which equals 4.6. The same time as the Macan. So with transmission being equal it's a drivers race and the Z out handles the Macan by a HUGE MARGIN!

My wife has a 2014 is250 fsport, and i can tell you, there is no way in hell to compare these 2 cars. In terms of luxury, the lexus has the advantage, but in terms of performance, it falls way short of the Z.

Luxury and comfort=lexus
Raw driving experience and performance=Z

What you want most in a car will determine if its and upgrade or a downgrade.

ME:
Z > lexus

2008 is250 and a 2014 is350 awd f sport.

While the new iteration of the IS is comfortable, quiet, smooth the throttle response is laggy. And that's with sport+ on.

Then you have the body roll.

Then you have the tires.

Then you also have the automatic transmission that isn't the same as z auto. It's so... soft and slow. Even in tip tronic mode.

And believe me when I say this. Once you're moving over 50mph the z feels nicer on pulls from mid range rpm.

But these are two separate cars in two different car segments. Not the marketing segments that companies attempt to reclassify. This is a sports coupe vs luxury sport sedan.
