Just for the sake of discussion how is it in a different car class? The C&D testers mixed 2-4 seater "sporty" cars that were priced from $20-37k. Imho they should've included it in the test with the mustang, s2k...etc. 300hp rwd sounds sporty to me. But nonetheless, props to the 370z.

Closer to $5000 unless you want to count the one with the smaller engine or are wanting a nav system.

from 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe priced from $22,000

The V6 model comes standard with a leather interior — a unique selling point for a $25,000 vehicle. Other highlights of the base model include fog lights, chrome fascia accents, and premium door sill plates. A six-speed manual is standard, while upgrading to the Siftronic pushes the price to $26,500.

A “Grand Touring” V6 package is available for $27,500 with the manual transmission, or $29,000 with the Siftronic. This trim level adds a 360-watt Infinity premium audio system with 10 speakers and a subwoofer, Xenon HID lamps, auto-dimming mirrors, navigation system, reverse warning system, heated side mirrors, push-button start, a tilt-and-slide power sunroof, and heated seats.

Lastly, the “Track” V6 model comes with 19-inch gunmetal finish alloy wheels, Brembo brakes with 13.4-inch rotors and four-piston brakes, track-tuned suspension, and Torsen-type limited-slip differential. Unlike the 2.0T, the Track model is available with a Shiftronic automatic, in addition to a regular manual. Pricing is $29,500 for the manual, and $31,000 for the automatic

I loved the concept version of the Solstice coupe, but the production version lost so much in translation.

I agree. Thats why I started this discussion saying that they forgot to include the Genesis coupe and people got offended :ugh2:

Agreed. They could have included the Mustang, S2000, Genesis etc but the result would have been the SAME!!! Now Z won against 3 cars, then it would've been against 6 cars!!! :icon17: :stirthepot:

man alef, the car wasnt bad enough as it is so you had to get lime green color?

You completed the package. Now it looks as awful as it drives.
