Also, I'd love to know what internal criteria the blind dude is using for his evaluation. Trying to get a sound that would appeal to the masses, or finding something to his own subjective (but apparently well informed) opinion?

Another great thread, Sach...keep 'em coming
i remember seeing a review by some j-magazine or something online where the guy was saying how the 370z AT is great because it's so quiet and keeps the revs low vs MT. i cant remember but i think he also pointed out the cabin was quiet keeping the exhaust noise down. perhaps this car was geared towards more of the quiet crowd?

i know the demographics in japan quickly changed from the real car guys to magazine-spec-racer-wanna-be-a-car-guy-but-dont-know-much-about-cars-but-i-have-money-my-parents-gave-me--i-couldn't-make-it-into-a-good-college-so-i-should-go-to-U.S.A.-and-learn-some-english-to-keep-my-dad-off-my-arse-and-make-mom-proud-telling-her-friends-and-neighbors-her-son-is-in-America after the bubble bursted in the early 90's. perhaps thats where japan suddently made the wrong turn for the 370z's...
