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
