Do you really need a magazine to write an article about the Z toreenforce your decision of buying the Z in the first place?
Now that I'm an owner the only articles I need to read about the Z is ones about tuning it. |

My Z has my attention... That's all that matters to me.

But I have to somewhat disagree with the Boxter, Caymen, Z4 - category. Z-Roadster does fit in the same category with Boxster and Z4 but at a disadvantage because of price over performance, and architecture. Z is designed first and foremost as a coupe hatchback. Caymen is almost ~2X the price of a Z. And frankly, as much as I love the Z, its no Porsche Cayman. So I think its a stretch to put both in the same category. I still feel like the mags have exiled the Z. If they loved it, it would be featured in 3-4 major articles a year. |

^I like to keep it that way :)

I didn't mean for the post to be a complaint. I'm just surprised the Z doesn't come up as a comparison as often as I'd expect. When the magazines compare new models to older cars, some seem very obvious comparisons to the Z, yet the Z goes unmentioned. Not a big deal...just an observation.

Its because they already know the Z will win like always.
:tiphat: |
The Z is ranked 3rd. Here you go.

LOL. Not sure how they're doing their math. Half the categories are incomplete with N/A. Miata outperforms all other cars in the class? Miata 8.9 Genesis. 8.0 370Z 8.5 RX8 8.3 Eclipse 7.2 How they computed the overall score for the Genesis is beyond me - how does the overall score exceed the value of the score in any one category: Overall: 8.5 Performance: 8.0 Exterior: NA Interior: 7.2 Safety: NA Reliability: NA Qualitative scoring ? Highly subjective - -I'm guessing the reviewer owns a miata. |
The Miata got extra points due to it's door construction.

Hilarious that Exterior is NA for the Genesis. I guess looking at the car from outside the vehicle was off limits that day.
Z interior 6.9. That's pretty harsh compared to the competitor scores. |

The only reason the Z competes with the Mustang/Genesis/Camaro/etc. is price only. I've owned both and I'm telling you they are completely different cars. Not even close to being in the same class. There's a reason I haven't written any extensive 370Z vs. 5.0 comparo on this site or any of the Mustang ones... they are just too different. |
