Thing is I like the Maxima a lot, I just like the sports car more than the luxury sedan. If the points I make are livable such as a decent ride on a long trip (I'm talking 2-3 hour road trips nothing extensive), decent leg room, decent trunk space...but the major difference I'm looking for is power, handling, to get back into something that sounds great and isn't so silky smooth as the Maxima (which is great, but I've had it two years since they came out and I'm bored of silky smooth!)

Then you might want a BMW or something like that, that can be quick and have some space too.

If you want a compromise then a G37 (or BMW as Steve says) is the better compromise between luxury and sport.

The 370Z is great, but it's really a sports car with some daily convenience features, but it's no GT.

As for the road trips, it kind of depends, who you are doing them with.
I think 2-3 hours should be no issue... But other people might have different road trip requirements...

I like the 370Z/Maxima interior setup when fully loaded..I also like Nissan in general, resale value is GREAT on the Z's, as is the VQ engine, electronics, etc...its just a great CAR even if not my #1 choice looks wise.

I'd go Corvette, but to get it fully loaded how I want it is 55k or so, and that's just too much for car. BMW M3 is also great, but not going 65k on a car. If I can grab a 370Z for 38ish + TTL fully loaded with a good rate and a good trade on the Max (with only 9k miles) I think that would be a good situation. For 18 months I have a VERY low mile total, and I think Nissan will give me a good number since its basically a new car mile wise.

I would still check out the G37's (Infiniti = Nissan)...
But it seems with us "arguing" against you, we still helped you made up your mind towards the Z
