Best Sporty Coupe

spearfish25 · 02-24-2011, 08:21 AM

I posted a couple weeks ago that the Z is a black sheep when it comes to reviews, comparisons, etc. Here is some more support for my argument. Who's missing from this 'best sporty coupe for under $50k' voting list?

hmmm wait a second...

LOL at the Fiat and Volvo being there, but no Z

Hmmm, perhaps because the Z is not a "Sporty Coupe" -- it is a sports car. Notice there is no Z4 or Boxster both which start under 50k -- though neither will stay there for long

. There is also no MX-5.

The RX-8 is perhaps a counter-example to this, but it does have 4 doors and 4 seats

Oh good, confirmation that Mustang's, Camaro's and Challenger's are not sports cars. This should pacify those car forums.

That's a "denying the antecedent" fallacy

Example of fallacious reasoning:

Premise: if something is a 2-seat sporty car, then it is a sports car
Premise: the Mustang, Challenger, and Camaro are not 2-sear sporty cars
-----------------------------------------------------
therefore: Mustang, Challenger, and Camaro are not sports cars

whap whap waaaa ... no soup for you!!

You're kidding, right?

Notice that all of the cars in that list have... BACK SEATS! They are sports coupes, NOT sports cars.

If this list was "best sports cars under $50k" then you'd have a legitimate greivance, but otherwise, the Z doesn't belong on the list.

The 370Z has won numerous awards and is anything but a black sheep.

spearfish25 · 02-24-2011, 09:55 AM

All this f'ing semantics. I'm pretty sure I bought a sporty 370Z touring/sport COUPE.
