Nissan 370Z vs. rivals - autoexpress.co.uk

Apples to oranges. A base 370Z vert is $37,320 full retail according to nissanusa. That's about 10K under the other two, or between 20% and 25% of the cost of the whole vehicle. Certainly more than "a few thousand" the reviewer states.

Yeah. I think I pretty clearly pointed out that the Z in my post was fully loaded, but my point is that, say 50k is your target purchase amount. These three cars enter the conversation, with the Z being fully loaded. If you load up the other two, their prices soar. If your price point is under 45k, the germans are out of the question. If your price point is well above 50k, the germans may be more attractive.

But you have a point, the difference is more than a few thou. All trims/options being equal, expect to pay at least 5k more for the Porsche or BMW.

I'd say a lot more than 10K if you are ranging up in options. It's about 10K at base vs. base and far greater if you equally move up the ladder of options for each. Not realistic to cut over 10K off a car and expect to review as a head to head judging on the little things.
