Nissan 370Z Forum  

How do you think the 370z is going to stack up vs. the new 1M coupe?

when hyundai comes out with the genesis, and our car is marginally better from a performance perspective, everyone jumps on those 10ths of seconds and tiny power differences like they are mana from heaven. Then when someone mentions the fact that the genesis is cheaper, people are like'oh rabbah rabahh grumble grumble who cares'

the performance/price differences between this car and our car is similar to those between ours and the genesis. Seems like nissan is getting squeezed from both sides, and you know what, i think its great. i love Z cars, and its competition like this that will make them better and better.

competition is a good thing. and when other car companies come out with good cars, that are competitively priced its good for everyone. who knows, maybe nissan will throw a straight six twin turbocharged engine in the next Z
It is important to note that the rest of the world pays a premium for these cars unlike Americans who get a deeply discounted vehicle. The stock 370Z in Canada starts at $40,000 and tops out around $50,000 for the sport touring model. And yes, our dollars are close enough to par to call it even...

Germans, Australians, Japanese, you name it, we all pay thousands more for cars than Americans. A twin-turbo'd Z from the factory would be in the $60000 mark here, if they even bothered to offer it to us. Keep in mind the Nismo is only available in the US in North America....

Having said that, the BMW is an awesome car and is in its own class, just like the 370Z. If you like Beemers, get one! If you like the Z, get one! But comparing them is really just wrong.
